LILY Allen has launched a fresh attack on David Harbour’s “mistress” Madeline with a savage new TikTok.
On her new album West End Girl, Lily, 40, accuses her ex-husband David, 50, of infidelity with someone called Madeline – though she has stressed the record is a combination of fact and fiction.
On the track called Tennis, which documents her discovering that her man’s connection with another woman is deeper than just sex, Lily sings: “So I read your text, and now I regret it. I can’t get my head ’round how you’ve been playing tennis.
“If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous. You won’t play with me. And who’s Madeline?”
The song has created a huge buzz ever since, with one interviewer just bluntly asking Lily, “Who the f**k is Madeline?”.
It has been put in the same lane as Dolly Parton classic Jolene, which sees the country star plead with an attractive woman not to steal her man, and Beyoncé’s Sorry, in which she takes aim at ‘Becky with the good hair‘ after husband Jay-Z admitted to being unfaithful.
Now, in another dig at her ex-husband, Lily has taken to TikTok and posted a video of herself lip-syncing to a woman saying: “Who the f**k is Madeline?”
It is taken from a scene from the Australian cult comedy Summer Heights High.
In fact Lily credit’s The Sun’s Howell Davies with giving her the audio, after he noticed a similarity between the lyrics of the song and a scene from the cult comedy.
In the scene, school girl Ja’mie confronts her boyfriend over messages he has been sending to another girl named Madeline.
Meanwhile, the the real life “Madeline” has spoken out, with New Orleans based costume designer Natalie Tippett, 34, claiming to have been involved in the fling.
Stranger Things star David and Natalie reportedly began an affair while working on 2021 film We Have A Ghost, and he later allegedly flew Natalie to his home in Atlanta, Georgia.
He had married Lily the previous year in a Las Vegas ceremony.
Speaking from her home in New Orleans’ historic Treme district, Natalie told Daily Mail she was the woman behind “Madeline”.
When approached by Daily Mail, Natalie said: “Of course I’ve heard the song.
“But I have a family and things to protect.
“I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on.
“It’s a little bit scary for me.”
The affair reportedly came to light when Lily found an incriminating text on David’s phone.
The discovery inspired several tracks on her new album, which details betrayal and heartbreak.
Natalie declined to discuss the lyrics further, saying: “Yeah… I just don’t feel comfortable talking about it at the moment.”
The Sun has contacted Lily and David’s reps for comment at the time.
Lily and David announced their split in January after four years of marriage.
It is understood they separated in December, with Lily spending Christmas alone with her children in Kenya.
Lily Allen’s most shocking West End Girl lyrics
Madeline
Perhaps the most eye-opening track on the album, Madeline tells the story of lovers who had a pact to be open in their relationship, but that trust was broken when the man struck up a romance with a woman called Madeline.
“Saw your text, that’s how I found out, tell me the truth and his motives
I can’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth
We had an arrangement
Be discreet and don’t be blatant
There had to be payment
It had to be with strangers
But you’re not a stranger, Madeline”
Tennis
Lily sings about finding messages from another woman on her man’s phone that shows the secret lovers have a deeper connection than just sex.
“So I read your text, and now I regret it
I can’t get my head ’round how you’ve been playing tennis
If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous
You won’t play with me
And who’s Madeline?”
Ruminating
A heartbreaking reflection on a once trusted partner being intimate with someone else behind her back.
“And I can’t shake the image of her naked. On top of you and I’m dissociated.”
“I told you all of this has been too brutal. You told me you felt the same, it’s mutual. And then you came out with this line, so crucial. Yeah, ‘If it has to happen, baby, do you want to know.”
Pussy Palace
This emotional track sees Lily come to terms with a lover using an apartment as a base for sex, but not with her.
“Don’t come home, I don’t want you in my bed. Go to the apartment in the West Village instead. I’ll drop off your clothes, your mail and medication.”
“Up to the first floor, key in the front door. Nothing’s ever gonna be the same anymore.
“I didn’t know it was a pussy palace, pussy palace, pussy palace, pussy palace. I always thought it was a dojo, dojo, dojo. So am I looking at a sex addict, sex addict, sex addict, sex addict? Oh talk about a low blow, oh, no, oh, no.”
Dallas Major
The title of this track is a pseudonym used by a woman, who sounds very much like Lily, on a dating app as she looks for validation and attention while her absent husband looks for affection elsewhere.
“My name is Dallas Major and I’m coming out to play. Looking for someone to have fun with while my husband walks away. I’m almost nearly forty, I’m just shy of five foot two. I’m a mum to teenage children, does that sound like fun to you?”
“So I go by Dallas Major but that’s not really my name. You know I used to be quite famous, that was way back in the day. Yes, I’m here for validation and I probably should explain. How my marriage has been open since my husband went astray.”
