(NewsNation) — The biggest question about Lily Allen’s new revenge album, “West End Girl,” isn’t about who cheated on who … it’s about “Madeline.”
The album debuted this week with several tracks that were a blatant diss to her now ex, “Stranger Things” star David Harbour.
The tracks include:
- “Madeline”: A song that appears to center on a mysterious “other woman” referenced in her marriage to Harbour.
- “P—y Palace”: Reported to contain imagery of hidden sex toys, double lives and the emotional collapse of the arrangement.
- “Tennis”: Mentioned as the point where the lyric “Who the f–k is Madeline?” appears and signals the betrayal narrative.
- “West End Girl” (title track): Also noted for referencing moving to a brownstone in New York, the shift in their life together and the beginning of the marriage’s undoing.
Who is Lily Allen’s ‘Madeline’ referring to?
“Madeline” appears twice on the album and was outed by the Daily Mail as allegedly being New Orleans-based costume designer Natalie Tippet, who told the outlet: “Of course I’ve heard the song.”
“But I have a family and things to protect. I have a 2 1/2-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on,” the single mom added.

“It’s a little bit scary for me.”
But I’m hearing the sticking point for Allen — who admitted to having an open relationship with Harbour — could be Tippet’s child.
Tippet allegedly met Harbour during the 2021 filming of the 2023 Netflix movie “We Have a Ghost,” in which Harbour starred. If her child is almost three, and she was impregnated almost four years ago … well, Allen did the math too.
Tippet is unmarried and didn’t comment on the paternity of her child. Reps for Harbour and Allen didn’t return emails.
