Lana Del Rey proved she has a heart of gold as she helped a domestic abuse victim while driving in Los Angeles.
The singer, 41, was filming a video of herself on a commute and listening to Tate McRae’s Rubberband when she saw a woman holding a sign outside her window at a stoplight.
“When you’re listening to Tate sing about Highland, when you’re sitting by the light on Highland and a woman sticks a sign on your window that says trying to get out of an abusive relationship,” she posted the clip on her Instagram Stories on Sunday.
The star – who previously hit back at allegations that she ‘glamorises abuse’ in her songs – was pictured reaching out to her purse and pulled out a $100 bill before handing it to the fleeing survivor.
She told her, ‘You found me while I was filming,’ the woman replied, ‘Thank you very much.’
The singer then advised the vulnerable stranger, ‘Okay, try and stay away.’
