Cara Delevingne slams trolls who accused her of being on drugs at Met Gala

Cara Delevingne has hit back at trolls who accused her of being on drugs at this year's Met Gala.

Cara, 31, attended the prestigious event on Monday, appearing with Ed Sheeran and Stella McCartney.

At one point, an interviewer could be seen chatting to the British model, but Ed and Stella quickly interrupted and began talking about their outfits.

"We have to say we love Stella McCartney, Stella McCartney is the best," says Ed, meanwhile Stella added: "She's wearing lab grown diamonds because we are bringing innovation to the Met. More sustainable, baby."

Even though the pair discussing Cara's look was innocent enough, some fans believe they were trying to distract attention away from Cara.

One wrote: "They’re saving her from ruining the interview because she’s so coked up they had to intervene."

While another said: "She's not sober... the way she even stroked the interviewers wrist... She's nowhere near sober."

Cara has since hit back at the claims, commenting on the post herself: "Been clear for nearly two years!! Thanks for the support."

Others rushed to defend her, too, with one commenting: "Cara herself commented in this thread on another comment saying she is nearly two years clean. Think about others before you make judgements people."

While another said: "Cara is very friendly, she is very natural, a real person. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH QUEEN CARA."

And a third added: "We believe in your recovery. Keep it up girl!!"

Last year, Cara spoke about how she checked herself into rehab and committed to a 12-step program after realising she needed support.

The model sparked concern among some fans when she was photographed looking distressed at the Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles in September last year, just after she returned from Burning Man festival.

Cara said: "There’s an element of feeling invincible when I’m on drugs. I put myself in danger in those moments because I don’t care about my life.

“It’s heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, Okay, I don’t look well.

“You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for.”

Tyla has reached out to Cara's rep for comment.
