The Press Shamed Me So Much I Left The Country | Amanda de Cadenet
"I left this lovely house in Notting Hill with food in the fridge and laundry in the hamper. And I said to him, 'I've gotta get outta here. I can't take this.' And we went on a holiday to LA and I never went back. My house had to get packed up and shipped to Los Angeles. And I didn't come back here for 10 years."
De Cadenet described leaving the UK abruptly with then-husband John Taylor and infant daughter Atlanta due to brutal tabloid body-shaming after pregnancy. She abandoned her London home mid-life and fled to Los Angeles permanently, not returning for a decade. The media called her 'Amanda de Flabonnet' and published photos of her breastfeeding without her knowledge.
