Lana Del Rey has branded her arch-nemesis Ethel Cain "abusive" after an Atlanta club promoted a Lana Del Rey vs. Ethel Cain-themed drag brunch taking place on Sunday (29.03.26).

After seeing the LGBTQ+ bar Lore's post on Instagram about the event trying to get people to take sides between the two singers, Lana commented: "Sadly, none of this is funny. She's abusive and that's all there is to it."

Lana didn't expand on her allegation of Ethel being "abusive".

The club also shared a screenshot of an alleged private message from Lana saying: "F*** you."

They added in the caption: "Lana, you will always be a part of our LORE.

See you next Sunday! #blocked."

Their feud heated up last summer when Lana, 40, posted a video clip of her new song, All About Ethel.

The first lyrics in the new track are: "Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose."

A 2022 picture of Lana posing with her ex-boyfriend Jack Donoghue outside Chicago's Cook County Jail circulated on social media.

Ethel then shared a photo of herself with Jack in a similar pose from 2021, but she went on to delete it.

Later in All About Ethel, Lana sings the lyrics: "The most famous girl at the Waffle House / I don't regret it / The most famous girl at the Waffle House."

This may be a reference to a May 11, 2022, New York Times article about Ethel, 28, entitled "The Most Famous Girl at the Waffle House".

Lana worked as a waitress at a Waffle House in Alabama in 2023 for a publicity stunt.

She later claimed the waitressing role was unplanned and that staff gave her a t-shirt.

A while after Lana posted All About Ethel, Ethel announced on her Instagram Story: "Update: Lana Del Rey has blocked Ethel Cain on Instagram."

Lana then responded and said she felt "deeply disturbed" by Ethel's behaviour - referencing allegations that Ethel made "constant comments about my weight" and stared "inserting herself into my personal life".

Lana wrote on Instagram: "I didn't know who Ethel was until a few years ago - when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters making constant comments about my weight, I was confused at what she was getting at.

"Then, when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life, I was definitely disturbed."

Despite the feud, Ethel has considered Lana as a big influence on her music career, and even shared covers of her music, including Born to Die.
