Lily Allen’s return to music with her new album West End Girl is making headlines — and, according to RadarOnline, causing significant tension with her estranged husband, actor David Harbour. The outlet reports that the Stranger Things star was “blindsided” by the project’s explicit and emotionally charged lyrics, which depict him as unfaithful and portray intimate details about their marriage.

Sources speaking to RadarOnline allege that Harbour, 50, has been left deeply embarrassed by the album’s content. The couple’s four-year marriage reportedly unraveled in late 2024, with claims that Harbour had pushed for an open relationship. According to insiders, Allen’s new tracks suggest her ex broke their agreement and entertained other partners in their shared New York home, which she labels the “P***y Palace” in her lyrics.

One song highlighted by RadarOnline, titled “Madeline,” confronts Harbour over an alleged emotional entanglement with another woman. Allen sings about losing trust, accusing Harbour of crossing boundaries meant to keep their arrangement discreet. She describes “Madeline” as a composite character but uses the song to explore themes of betrayal and broken agreements.

The album marks Allen’s first release since 2018’s No Shame and has reportedly drawn significant public attention and sympathy. Sources tell RadarOnline that while the record is performing well, Harbour is struggling with the personal fallout. Friends of the actor were said to be shocked by the allegations, with insiders describing Harbour as a private individual who does not plan to respond publicly.

According to the outlet, Harbour is trying to stay silent amid the scrutiny, despite feeling humiliated by the revelations and uncomfortable with renewed attention on private aspects of his life.
