Cara Delevingne checked into rehab after ‘heartbreaking’ images of her erratic behaviour
Cara Delevingne reveals she entered rehab when ‘heartbreaking’ footage of her erratic behavior gave her a reality check as she battled an ‘existential crisis’ and a spiral of misery and partying.
Cara Delevingne has reflected on her mental health and her battle with addiction after raising concerns over a series of erratic incidents last year.
The 30-year-old model worried fans when she made several troublesome appearances in public and has now revealed that she secretly checked herself into rehab after “heartbreaking” images woke her up.
speaking to Fashion magazine as its April cover star, she confessed: ‘I’ve had interventions of some sort, but I wasn’t ready. That’s the problem.
‘If you’re not face down on the ground and ready to get up again, you won’t. At that point, I was really… I hadn’t seen a therapist in three years. I just pushed everyone away, which made me realize how bad it was.
“I always thought that work should be done when times are bad, but really, work should be done when times are good. The work must be done consistently. It will never be fully fixed or cured, but I’m okay with it, and that’s the difference.
Candid: Cara Delevingne has reflected on her mental health and her battle with addiction after raising concerns with a series of erratic incidents last year.
Speaking of the images that caused concern, she revealed: ‘I hadn’t slept. I wasn’t good. It’s heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, well, I don’t look good.
“You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those photos were something to be thankful for.”
It comes after Cara revealed that she will “take some time to heal” and enjoy the next chapter of her life after “things just clicked” with her 30th birthday.
Now that 2023 is in full swing, Cara says she’s looking to the future with a fresher perspective and looking to be “kinder” to herself after doing “so much for other people’s approval and love.”
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he admitted he wondered, ‘Why? That doesn’t matter and it’s not going to make you love yourself more. He just doesn’t.
Learning from her life experience and coming of age at 30, she is now “taking time to heal and focus on herself and what I want to do.”
She added: ‘What I really want to do, not for other people’s sake but for my own sake. Is really nice.
She noticed a lot ‘clicked’ with her landmark birthday in August of last year, and her priorities changed as she became ‘gentler’ and kinder to herself.

Worrying: The model, 30, worried fans when she made several troublesome appearances (pictured in September) and revealed that the ‘heartbreaking’ images gave her a wake-up call
She explained: ‘I think after I turned 30, there were a lot of things that clicked.
“I think my 20s were brilliant, but there were a lot of different things that I wanted to focus on.
“I think there was a part of me that still felt insecure in my teenage years and questioning and a little doubt all the time.
‘[But] Is that real, that women are in their prime at 30? I just don’t care anymore.
“I’m a lot gentler to myself and kinder to myself and I think something has changed this year for sure.”
Before her 30th birthday, Cara revealed that she was looking forward to reaching the key age, though she admitted that that might have changed when she actually got there.
She said: ‘Getting old is so nice. I’m very excited, but call me that day and see how I am, I’ll probably cry.’
