Netflix ‘Black Rabbit’ Drops September 18
Writer Alison Veness visits Abbey Lee weeks before the debut of the new Netflix series ‘Black Rabbit’ starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman on September 18.
The difference between modelling and acting, Abbey Lee says, is like night and day. “I mean, modelling is financially fulfilling, and you get to travel around the world, but at the end of the day a model has one very simple task. As an actor, it’s about your voice, your mind, your emotions, your physicality and your intelligence.”
A Hideously Difficult Battle with Endometriosis
Abbey Lee made a decision a year ago to speak of her absolutely debilitating 20 years battle with endometriosis, which included organizing a Men for Endo event in Sydney. She’s now organizing an event in New York City.
Pursuing more research to see if she’s found any relief, her symptoms have improved after surgery with a specialist in the UK. In a March 2025 Instagram post, Abbey Lee revealed that a planned 20-minute procedure turned into a nearly three-hour operation to remove "glue-like lesions" that were suffocating her organs.
The actor speaks expansively about love, and it’s not until the end of the interview that we learn that she’s fallen out of love with city living.
“Love,” she stresses, “is the most important, the most inspiring thing to me. I’m very in love with my partner, who’s also my best friend, and that is so encouraging. Loving him makes me feel better about myself and feeling better about myself makes me want to be more creative. I have two dogs that I absolutely fucking adore, too. Love allows everything else to blossom, and is what makes me feel more alive than anything else.” Lee also loves the water and the ocean back home in Australia. “What nature does to me is very inspiring.”
“I’m sick of living in the city,” she says. “So I’m moving upstate into the woods.” 42 acres await Abbey Lee, Milo, the two dogs, and any other new loves she picks up along the way.
