“She deserves respect for telling it”: the debate over Cara Delevingne’s revelations about her nearly fatal overdose and the jobs she lost

Cara Delevingne, 33, has just revealed on Louis Theroux’s podcast that she nearly died from an overdose while trying to detox on her own: she used what she thought was cocaine laced with opioids, was revived with naloxone in a hospital, and woke up without understanding what was happening, held up by men while her girlfriend Minke waited outside after calling the ambulance.

For many, what Cara did — telling everything with names and details, without euphemisms — is exactly what a public figure should do.

“If this saves even one person’s life, it was already worth it”, they say.

Others are not so forgiving: they point out that she lost fashion contracts, that she started using at 14, and that the photos from Van Nuys Airport in 2022 — taken just after a seizure at Burning Man — went around the world without anyone in her circle being able to stop her beforehand.
