Cara Delevingne is Almost 2 Years Sober

Delevingne turned the internet upside down after her 30th birthday with her erratic behavior towards Megan Thee Stallion. "It's heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, ‘Okay, I don't look well,'" Delevingne said. "You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for.”

While dressed to the nines at this year’s Met Gala, Delevingne told Variety, "You're not alone, if I can do it, anyone can. But you need to communicate and be honest about it as much as you can—especially with yourself," Cara continued. “I think that’s what I’ve always done with anything in this business. Whether it’s been being vocal about anxiety, depression, recovery, anything, it’s just you owe it to people to talk about your struggles, because being in this world is not perfect. No one is perfect. So to be honest, it’s the least I can do.”
