Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin’s daughter Delilah Belle Hamlin opened up about how much better she feels since getting sober a few years ago following her rehab stay for depression.
“I love being sober. I feel so ‘pick me’ when I’m like, ‘I’m sober,’ but whatever,” Delilah, 27, said on the Friday, July 4, episode of her parents’ “Let’s Not Talk About the Husband” podcast. “I love rehab. I love it.”
Her dad, 73, noted that his eldest daughter wasn’t “that messed up” when she went to rehab in 2018, but Delilah said her treatment was more about her mental health. (Harry and Rinna, 61, also share daughter Amelia Gray, 24, and Harry shares son Dimitri, 45, with ex Ursula Andress.)
“It was more so I just felt so out of control of my own emotions,” she explained. “I was so depressed, I was so anxious. It wasn’t even me, like, being addicted, it was more so recognizing that I needed more help. I needed to do intense therapy. It was just, like, a self-realization and I just needed help — it was a cry for help. I called you guys one day like, ‘Hey, I think I need to go to rehab, I’m not quite sure what that is.’”
Looking back now, seven years later, Delilah has no regrets.
“It was the best decision of my life,” she explained. “No one forced me to go. I was like, ‘I wanna go.’ I’m so lucky that you guys could afford it at the time and help me through it. I love it.”
In the future, Delilah wants to open her own rehab facility, though she’s now currently focused on modeling and making music.Delilah first opened up about her rehab experience in 2019, revealing that she’d checked into a facility shortly after enrolling as a student at New York University.
“I wanted to share this with you guys today because it could help at least one person struggling with anxiety and or depression,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “This time last year I was in rehabilitation. I moved to New York to start my journey as a student at NYU. Not long after I moved to New York I began having terrible depression. I started attracting negative people into my life because my thoughts were so negative.”
She added, “I knew the way I was living was unhealthy and detrimental to my mental health so I called my mom and told her I needed help.”
After a stay in February 2018, Delilah returned again in June of that year.
“I learned so much about being independent, feeling less shameful and guilty, I learned about self-love instead of self-deprivation and so much more,” she told her followers. “I worked through traumas and self-love. But most importantly I learned what self-respect meant.”
In February 2022, Delilah celebrated six months of sobriety after accidentally overdosing on prescription medication the year prior. The model was hospitalized in November 2021 after mixing propranolol, which is used to treat heart problems and anxiety, with Benadryl.
