Following the 2024 Met Gala, conversations surrounding Cara Delevingne took an unexpected turn. A moment captured during an interview — where Ed Sheeran appeared to step in — sparked a wave of online speculation. Observers hastily conjectured that Delevingne’s behavior was indicative of something more than her usual self, hastily linking it to her sobriety status.

Delevingne, known for her candid nature and openness, has always navigated the public eye with a sense of authenticity. Her responses to life’s challenges, including her sobriety, have been marked by honesty and a willingness to share her experiences. In conversation with Variety at the Gala, Delevingne offered insights that cut through the noise of speculation. “You’re not alone,” she conveyed, extending a hand of solidarity to those grappling with similar issues. “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.”

Her commitment to transparency isn’t new. She first shared her sobriety journey in April 2023, and Delevingne has been an open book when it comes to discussing personal matters such as anxiety and depression. “I think that’s what I’ve always done with anything in this business,” she stated, emphasizing the importance of facing struggles head-on and sharing those battles. This approach, she believes, not only helps in normalizing these discussions but also serves as a support to others navigating their own paths.

The quick assumptions that followed the Met Gala moment highlight how easy it is to misinterpret the actions of celebrities without understanding the full story. Delevingne’s response reminds us of the need for more thoughtful and understanding discussions when it comes to public figures.

By sharing her story, Delevingne not only sets the record straight about herself but also adds an important voice to the broader dialogue on mental health and sobriety.
