Lana Del Rey Films Herself Giving Money to a Woman Trying to Get ‘Out of an Abusive Relationship’
The singer handed the woman what appeared to be a $100 bill after she saw a sign about fleeing abuse and told her to stay away.
On Sunday, October 25, singer Lana Del Rey helped a woman fleeing an abusive relationship in Los Angeles by handing her a $100 bill at a Highland Park traffic light.
While listening to Tate McRae's 2021 song 'Rubberband,' Del Rey filmed herself driving through the area when she noticed a woman holding a sign explaining her need to escape an abusive relationship.
The video of the interaction drew mixed reactions online, with some fans calling Del Rey 'the people's queen' while others questioned what a $100 donation could achieve for someone in crisis.

Del Rey, who married alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene in 2024, is preparing her next album 'Stove,' a follow-up to her 2023 record 'Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.
