Getty Images Cara Delevingne is sharing more about the difficult period behind those viral airport photos . The 33-year-old model, actress, and singer appeared on The Louis Theroux Podcast in an episode published on Monday (June 29), where she spoke candidly about addiction, sobriety, and the paparazzi photos that sparked widespread concern in 2022. Cara said the pictures captured her at one of the lowest points of her life. “Disheveled, yeah. Mentally unwell for sure, not lack of sleep. I just had a seizure,” she said. She added, “I was not sober for sure.” Credit: Getty Images Cara says she had just returned from Burning Man During the conversation, Louis brought up Burning Man and asked if she had been “caning it” quite hard. “Yeah,” Cara responded. She explained that the situation spiraled as she was leaving the festival. “I was taking a lot of drugs and there was a certain amount of time we had to leave, and I was carrying out, I always overpack for Burning Man,” she said. “I was just carrying loads of suitcases, and my body just couldn’t take it, and I had a seizure, which, again, never seen myself have a seizure, but I’ve had a bunch.” The Suicide Squad star said the seizure was drug-related, describing it as “either lack of drugs or too many drugs.” She also clarified that the seizure itself was not photographed by paparazzi. The photos that later circulated were taken after she returned to Los Angeles and headed to the airport again. “Got home desperately trying to find more drugs because, I don’t know, I hadn’t slept,” she said. Cara continued, “LA. Before I got on another flight, hadn’t slept. Maybe found some drugs at the house, did them, went to the airport, got out without shoes, hair. I had had so much stuff in my head. The hair after Burning Man, I hadn’t showered probably, so there’s just like sand, hair looks crazy. You can just see it in the eyes.” “I look absolutely wild and feral and not well,” she added, recalling that she was “smoking a cigarette wearing a free Britney t-shirt or something.” Credit: Getty Images The photos had professional consequences for Cara’s career Cara said the public reaction was immediate and painful. “People saw it. It was everywhere. I lost jobs. That sucked. People were really worried. That sucked. I got so many messages. It was horrible,” she said. She explained that, as a model, there are expectations built into the work. “As a model, you’re meant to keep the brand’s standards in some way. It’s in contracts that you sign,” she said. The English star explained that she was not necessarily fired outright, but work did dry up. “They didn’t directly fire me because of it, but they didn’t renew contracts,” she said. “It’s super quiet. Yeah. Everyone went very silent.” Credit: Getty Images Cara explains how the aftermath pushed her toward recovery The Paper Towns actress said she knew she needed to get sober and was medically weaned off GBL, which
