Summary

  • Delevingne said on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that she was taking GHB every day and suffered seizures before realizing she needed medical detox and sobriety.
  • The 33-year-old said the 2022 Burning Man photos that alarmed fans were taken just after one seizure, adding that she was also using cocaine to stay awake.
  • She described addiction worsening in private even as her career thrived, saying fame, money and a polished public image helped conceal how severe her substance abuse had become.
  • Delevingne also said she became suicidal at the height of her success and traced her drug use to childhood trauma, her mother's illness and long-running mental health struggles.
  • Now sober and preparing new music, she said she chose to detail her GHB addiction publicly because she rarely hears people discuss that substance and hopes her story helps others.
