Cara Delevingne has always been open about her addiction battle.
According to Radar Online, Cara almost lost her life due to the drug overdose and then finally committed to recovery.
The actress and model opened up about the darkest chapter of her life, saying, “It went super quiet. Everyone went very silent. And I knew I needed to get sober, so I medically was weaned off GBL, which probably is the hardest one to come off.”
“But I couldn’t do it at home. I couldn’t deal because the more sober I got, the more I realised how badly I f—– up, and that just was too much,” she added.
An insider has also told the outlet, “Cara has never hidden how difficult recovery has been, but speaking so openly about almost losing her life shows how determined she is to remove the stigma around addiction.”
“She knows her experience could encourage others to seek help before reaching a crisis point,” they added.
Cara Delevingne was reportedly guilty instead of relieved when she woke up in the hospital after near-fatal experience. A source said, “For Cara, recovery wasn’t just about stopping drugs. It meant confronting everything she had been trying to escape, and that’s often the hardest part of getting well.”
Furthermore, Cara also reflected on the widely circulated photos taken after the 2022 Burning Man festival that sparked concern among fans. She confirmed, “(I was) mentally unwell for sure, not lack of sleep. I’d just had a seizure. I was not sober, for sure,” when the photos were taken.
The viral photos also costed her modeling contracts. “Yeah, it’s not a good look. As a model, you’re meant to upkeep the brand’s standards in some way. Like, it’s in contracts that you sign. So, they didn’t directly fire me because of it, but they didn’t renew contracts,” the actress shared.
