Last week, Lily Allen released her new album West End Girl, in which she opens up about her marriage to David Harbour, refuelling cheating allegations.
On one track on the album, Lily apparently 'name-drops' the woman with whom David reportedly had an affair, calling her 'Madeline'.
Another song looks back on Lily's return to the theatre following her move back to London after she relocated to New York City to be with David.
In the song, she recalls moving back to Britain after she claimed their relationship began to deteriorate.
The lyrics read: "I said I got some good news, I got the lead in a play, that's when your demeanour started to change," which supposedly references her role in 2:22 A Ghost Story, per The Mirror.
Lily Allen received an Olivier award nomination for her performance in the production, to which she alludes in her song.
At the time, she posted a picture of a message David had written for her on her Instagram.
While she initially posted the picture showcasing their humorous banter, fans are now branding the note as rather "sinister".
The message David wrote to Lily read: "My ambitious wife, these are bad luck flowers, 'cause if you get reviewed well in this play, you will get all kinds of awards and I'll be miserable. Your loving husband."
Fans were quick to respond to the post criticising David's lack of support.
One fan wrote: "The entire note screams of sarcasm and dark humour," while another stated: "Agreed, but this comment is a long way from falling into the 'Break A Leg' category of saying mean things but meaning them in the best way possible," per The Mirror.
Lily's latest album truly showcases her emotions, including feelings of "abandonment".
She revealed: "I have deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment, which I've been wrestling with for most of my adult life and probably quite a lot of my childhood as well. And I was having, like, an extreme reaction to things at the time."
Opening up to Perfect Magazine, Lily continued: "It's hard for me not to have my person, you know? And I am quite a co-dependent person.
"I find it difficult to lean on the people who are available to me when I'm missing the comfort and stability of what is not available to me. I know that what I have to do is to be able to make myself happy, and that is a source of extreme irritation for me."
