Cara Delevingne has spoken out about the lasting impact of her experiences in the fashion industry prior to the MeToo movement. The model, who rose to prominence in the 2010s walking for major brands, detailed a "rough time" characterized by a lack of safety and misconduct.
Delevingne expressed sadness over her "chip on her shoulder" from this era, particularly mentioning the influence of older photographers. She moved to Los Angeles in 2015 to pursue acting and "reinvent herself," seeking to break free from how others perceived her and her own self-hatred.
She also touched upon her struggles with drugs and alcohol, noting that her past behavior was labeled as "crazy." Delevingne emphasized the importance of self-advocacy, stating that if one does not champion themselves, no one else will, especially in demanding industries.
