In the early hours of Friday morning, Cara Delevingne opened up about her relationship with modelling on Twitter.
It’s well known that Delevingne has had a tough time with the fashion industry in the past, but recently – and to many people’s surprise – the actress and model appeared in a photoshoot for Saint Laurent’s La Collection De Paris, which she shared on Instagram on Thursday evening, and tweeted afterwards ‘I never quit.’
The series of photos were recently shown at Paris Fashion Week, and quickly prompted a flurry of headlines about Delevingne’s return to modelling.
Shortly after the photos were shared, though, she took to Twitter to set the record straight.
Can we just set the record straight…

I suffer from depression and was a model during a particularly rough patch of self hatred

I am so lucky for the work I get to do but I used to work to try and escape and just ended up completely exhausting myself.

I am focusing on filming and trying to learn how to not pick apart my every flaw. I am really good at that

Okay…. Rant over. Just wanted to clarify and word vomit a little

And on Instagram, she posted an inspirational quote:
Unsurprisingly, Cara has been inundated with support on Twitter – with her tweets gaining 3,000 retweets and 10,000 likes.
