David Harbour breaks silence on Lily Allen’s album: ‘It was weird’

  • David Harbour has publicly commented for the first time on his ex-wife Lily Allen's album West End Girl, released last fall, which details their marriage breakdown.
  • Harbour, 51, told Variety that the album was "weird" but respected Allen's artistic right to use her experiences, while emphasizing his need for privacy regarding their relationship.
  • He stated that "stories are complex" and the album represented Allen's experience, not his, declining to respond to specific claims made within the music.
  • Allen, 41, described the album as a "mixture of fact and fiction" covering themes like cheating and gaslighting, open relationships and sex addiction.
  • Harbour also revealed he suffered a nervous breakdown last December, causing him to miss Stranger Things celebrations, and spoke about his struggles with mental health.
