In September 2022, model Cara Delevingne caused concern among fans when she was spotted behaving erratically at LA’s Van Nuys airport. Shoeless, jittery and repeatedly dropping her mobile phone, her whole episode was caught on camera. Things weren’t looking good for the then 30-year-old.
Here’s what she’s been up to since the airport incident.
Cara Delevingne got sober
Like her mum who struggled with heroin addiction when she was younger, Delevingne seemed like she might be going down the same path by the time she reached her 30th birthday. “There’s an element of feeling invincible when I’m on drugs,” she told Vogue last year. “I put myself in danger in those moments because I don’t care about my life.”
The airport photos were a wake-up call, however, and she eventually checked herself into rehab and the 12-step programme used to treat addicts. “I realised that 12-step treatment was the best thing, and it was about not being ashamed of that. The community made a huge difference,” she told the publication.
