Lily Allen Uses Halloween to Highlight David Harbour Split in Scathing Album

Lily Allen has used her Halloween costume to reference her new album West End Girl, which centers on the end of her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour and includes allegations of his infidelity. She dressed as Madeline, a character from a children's book series and the name of a woman mentioned in her breakup song, which appears to be a nod to Harbour's alleged affair. Allen's lyrics describe betrayal and deception, suggesting Harbour broke the rules of their open relationship by having emotional ties rather than just casual encounters. At her album launch party, Allen gave out polka dot adult toys as cheeky party favors, alluding to the explicit content of her songs accusing Harbour of being a sex addict leading a double life. The woman named Madeline has been identified as Natalie Tippett, a costume designer who has expressed concern over the public attention. The album has drawn support from Harbour's ex-girlfriend Alison Sudol, highlighting the personal and public fallout from the dissolution of Allen's marriage.
