Cara Delevingne Says She Was “So Close to Ending” Her Life Amid Drug Addiction
During a Wednesday appearance on Call Her Daddy podcast, model and actress Cara Delevingne, 33, detailed her struggle with drug addiction and how attending Burning Man in 2022 catalyzed her path to sobriety.
Intense public concern over 2022 photos taken at Van Nuys Airport in California prompted her decision, as the images captured her looking disheveled shortly after she suffered a seizure at the festival.
Ketamine, GHB, and Xanax served as her tools to dissociate, but a song playing on shuffle in her hotel room became a turning point that convinced her to dispose of her drugs that night.
After previous trauma-focused retreats failed, Delevingne found success through a 12-step recovery program, crediting her girlfriend Leah Mason, known as Minke, and community connection for maintaining sobriety.
Delevingne now advocates for transparency about anxiety and depression, emphasizing that "the opposite of addiction is connection" while encouraging others facing similar struggles to seek support.
