David Harbour Addresses Lily Allen’s West End Girl Album

David Harbour won’t begrudge anyone their voice. 

But that doesn’t mean he enjoyed the fallout from ex-wife Lily Allen’s October 2025 album West End Girl, in which she chronicles their tumultuouse breakup and accuses the Stranger Things star of infidelity.

“It was weird,” Harbour told Variety of his life after the album drop in an interview published June 10. “I do believe that it is the privilege of every artist to use their experience to create art, and so I respect her for doing that.” 

As for the allusions to discretions Allen makes in the album—including the existence of a separate apartment she dubbed the “Pussy Palace” where sexual encounters beyond the permitted flings allegedly occurred—Harbour won’t get into the minutiae. 

“Stories are complex,” he said, “and that’s why I say I respect her creation of art to channel her experience. It wasn’t my experience.”

But while this marks the first time the 51-year-old has addressed Allen’s album in the eight months since it came out, don’t expect him to say much more.
