"Who the fuck is Madeline? Her name is star Natalie Tippett, and she has some thoughts about the "false narrative" presented in Lily Allen's new album, West End Girl, which dropped in October. The identity of the alleged mistress at the center of Allen's fifth studio album, which details the dissolution of her marriage to Stranger Things David Harbour, has been the source of much fascination for weeks now."
"Tippett goes on to say that she feels "extremely violated" by the narrative put forth in the album, which includes dramatized readings of alleged texts between herself and Allen. The supposed texts featured in the song "Madeline" (the album is good, but it's not subtle) are also "false," according to Tippett, and were included in the album "without [her] consent.""
Natalie Tippett is identified as Madeline and previously confirmed the identity in The Daily Mail. She met David Harbour in 2021 while working as the costume designer on the Netflix horror-comedy We Have a Ghost. Tippett denies a three-year affair, describing the relationship as a marginal part of her life that has become a major disruption. She says she feels extremely violated by the album's narrative, calls the dramatized readings of alleged texts false, and asserts those texts were included without her consent. Tippett broke her silence via Instagram stories after Lily Allen's Saturday Night Live performance.
