Already in the video of her 2006 success single “Smile” (still 150 million calls on YouTube alone), Lily showed all her ambiguous relationship with men. What was only a pop fiction almost twenty years ago is now shaking their real life.
The Londoner recently separated from her second husband David Harbor (“Stranger Things”) in Los Angeles. The ratio was considered broken, apparently a painful affair. She went to a therapy center to combat “emotional turbulence”, as the gossip press found out weeks ago.
Now everyone in their BBC podcast “Miss Me?” (February 13) made more detailed the topic.
“I did a lot of group therapies and some individual therapies”
“I am very grateful that I was given the time and the space that I needed. I went to a kind of treatment center for a few weeks, which was great, ”said the 39-year-old singer. “I did a lot of group therapies and some individual therapies, and I just needed some time and distance from everything.”
She emphasized that in this facility she did a lot of shadow work about her “inner child”. It was “by no means easy” that healing was “lifelong trip”.
According to the US media, the therapy stay cost $ 8,000 (around 7,600 euros) a week.
Allen and David Harbor married in 2020. The celebrity sheet “People” diagnosed that she was “destroyed” about the separation, which was also “very difficult for her and her girls.” The singer is the mother of daughters Marnie Rose, 12 , and Ethel Mary, 13 who come from the relationship with ex-man Sam Cooper.
Image of the “Children’s Hasser”
In the podcast, Allen said that in public opinion she had the image of the “children’s hater”. What definitely is not true. She explained that her treatment decision was made with a view to the children: “I love my children more than anything and I am now in a situation in which I have to make myself really strong for her,” she said. “It was a really difficult decision to leave her for a few weeks to concentrate on myself, but in the end it was for her. I needed help to do that. “
“I was unable to do this alone because I was in an emotional turmoil,” she said. “Now I can! I don’t say that I’m 100 percent there. And I also don’t say that I will get it 100 percent or ever get it. But I’m definitely in a stronger position. “
Everyone revealed that she had problems with food and with her medication last year. “At some point things became uncontrollable for me. She said that her antidepressant didn’t “really work”.
After the (for the time being) successful therapy, she now wants to plunge into a new artistic project: a musical.
