Cara Delevingne is looking back at one of her most photographed runway chapters with a much different lens.<\/p>\n
The model, actress, and musician opened up on the June 3 episode of Call Her Daddy<\/em>, where she discussed sobriety, sexuality, identity, and the public image that followed her during her biggest modeling years. Just Jared<\/a> reported that Delevingne spoke about the substances she used before getting sober, her memories of the Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show, and a backstage story involving Candice Swanepoel.<\/p>\n The interview put a harder frame around a period that once looked playful from the outside. Delevingne walked in the Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show in 2012 and 2013, but she now says that time overlapped with addiction, depression, and anxiety around her sexuality.<\/p>\n Cara Delevingne revealed which drugs she was using before getting sober, how she really felt about the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, told a “weird” story about her reaction to Candice Swanepoel, and so much morehttps:\/\/t.co\/edcN4Axmu8<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 JustJared.com (@JustJared) June 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Page Six<\/a> reported that Delevingne called the Victoria\u2019s Secret experience fun in some ways, but emotionally difficult.<\/p>\n She said the show felt like \u201cdress-up\u201d and joked that she was not a Victoria\u2019s Secret Angel, but \u201ca devil.\u201d<\/p>\n The lighter line came with a darker explanation. Delevingne said the environment was not easy for her at the time because she was dealing with addiction and hiding parts of herself.<\/p>\n According to Page Six, Delevingne said she used alcohol and Xanax before shows during that period. She described those years as some of her darkest, which changes the way the glossy runway images read now.<\/p>\n One of the stranger stories from the interview involved fellow model Candice Swanepoel.<\/p>\n Page Six reported that Delevingne recalled passing out after Swanepoel undressed near her backstage.<\/p>\n Delevingne made clear the moment was not about desire. She described it as panic while she was still closeted and surrounded by models in a highly exposed environment.<\/p>\n That distinction keeps the anecdote from turning into a cheap backstage story. Delevingne was describing anxiety around sexuality, body image, and performance during a period when she did not feel fully able to be herself.<\/p>\n The Call Her Daddy<\/em> episode is titled \u201cCara Delevingne: Sobriety, Sexuality & Self-Love.\u201d Apple Podcasts describes it as a conversation about mental health, sobriety, identity, and why Delevingne\u2019s music era feels like a fresh start.<\/p>\n The episode page also includes a content warning for discussion of suicidal ideation.<\/p>\n Delevingne has spoken publicly in recent years about getting sober after a difficult stretch in 2022. In the new interview, she again connected recovery to a larger process of understanding herself rather than simply cleaning up her public image.<\/p>\n The Sun<\/a> reported that she discussed using drugs as a teenager, the height of her addiction, and the point when she committed more seriously to sobriety after Burning Man in 2022.<\/p>\n Delevingne is also using the interview to introduce a new creative chapter.<\/p>\n Vogue<\/a> recently reported that Delevingne has released new music, including \u201cI Forgot\u201d and \u201cOut of My Head,\u201d ahead of an upcoming album with Warner Records.<\/p>\n Vogue reported that the album draws from writings she has made over the past few years and explores mental health, self-discovery, love, and identity.<\/p>\n That gives the Call Her Daddy<\/em> interview a reason beyond revisiting old modeling stories. Delevingne is explaining the gap between the version of herself people saw on runways and the person now making music from a more honest place.<\/p>\n Delevingne also discussed her sexuality during the interview.<\/p>\n\n
