It became, in my opinion, a depressing spectacle online: people focused intensely on unmasking the woman, rather than scrutinising the famous man accused of allegedly breaking the rules of their arrangement. The collective energy was focused on finding ‘the mistress’.
And now, ‘Madeline’ has spoken. Well, not Madeline, but the woman widely speculated to be the inspiration — costume designer Natalie Tippett.Â
Natalie Tippett, 34, was working in the costume department on the 2021 Netflix film We Have A Ghost while Harbour, 50, starred. Their alleged affair reportedly began not long after filming started.Â
When it comes to the drama surrounding the song, Tippett is well aware, and she finds the whole thing “a little bit scary”.Â
“Of course I’ve heard the song,” Tippett told Daily Mail.Â
“But I have a family and things to protect. I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and I understand this is going on. It’s a little bit scary for me.”Â
