David Harbour’s ex-girlfriend Alison Sudol has spoken about her split from the star, and says she fears looking like a “scorned woman”.
Sudol, 40, dated Harbour for a year before he met Lily Allen - and posted on Instagram last week about how she felt during their relationship.
And now Sudol has posted again, expressing her worries about sharing her story, and sharing the picture she originally wanted to post.
Sudol’s social media posts follow the release of Allen’s West End Girl, a semi fictional story of Allen’s relationship with the American actor.
Sudol wrote: “This was the photo I originally wanted to post. what I’m noticing is what came up when I went to put it up- 1) I balked at the thought of posting a photo which might be labeled as angry the same week as calling out a bully ex...
“The fear of getting dubbed a vengeful, scorned woman who has cut off her hair and thus must hate all men actually reared its head. I’m laughing as I dig these ludicrous words out of my subconscious. but I think it deserves to be aired...
“Because it’s these absolutely bonkers stories that surface when we are about to be brave that can derail us if we let them remain dark and lurky and horrible in the shadows of our head...
“Oh and b) my skin looks patchy, and I’ve had someone close enough to sting comment on me not wearing enough makeup this week...
“And even though I thought I’d moved past it, it’s clearly lodged itself in a rib I forgot I had. however, the good news is, I’ve just suddenly realize I don’t care about either 1) or b) so iii) here you go!”
Last week, actress-slash-singer-songwriter Sudol wrote about the breakdown of their relationship.
“I took this picture in early June of 2019. I was living in New York, in a fancy apartment with big windows that looked at another building.
“I had chosen almost every item in it but it didn’t feel like home. I was a kind of sad that drifted in and out of focus.”
She added: “It was the tail end of a relationship but I didn’t know it yet. I think I knew that something was wrong, suspected I wasn’t ok, but I was so confused, tangled up in a narrative that wasn’t mine but was so loud I couldn’t hear beyond it.
“I couldn’t get my thoughts straight. It was abundantly clear I couldn’t change things, so I kept trying to change me.”
Sudol also said she has spent “the last 6 years being very careful” about her circle.
The mum-of-two - who is now with Welsh actor Tom Cullen - added: “I’ve had children now. I’m not the person I was, I can’t lie down even when I want to. Lying down keeps me up at night, every parent knows that anything that messes with your precious sleep is not worth it.”
She concluded her post: “Bullies think kind people are weak, but are we? Especially when the person that is kind is the kind of person who can write songs.”
Allen commented a red love heart emoji on the post.
The Standard has contacted a representative of David Harbour for comment.
