Singer Duffy opens up about being held captive, raped and drugged

February 26,2020
Share:

Song writer and singer Duffy has opened up to her fans about being held captive, raped and drugged.

She said she had always wanted to share this experience through her music but didn’t want the world “sadness in her eyes”.

About being held captive

Sharing a black and white photo of herself, Duffy explained how exciting and liberating it feels to finally talk about it.

According to her the journalist was kind and was able to reach her.

She however pleaded that she does not want any intrusion in her family.

She pleaded for support to make this a positive experience.

She captioned ;

You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this.

The way I would write it, how I would feel thereafter. 

Well not entirely sure why now is the right time, and what it is that feels exciting and liberating for me to talk.

I cannot explain it.

Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why.

A journalist contacted me, he found a way to reach me and I told him everything this past summer.

He was kind and it felt so amazing to finally speak.

The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days.

Of course I survived. The recovery took time.

There’s no light way to say it. 

But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine.

You wonder why I did not choose to use my voice to express my pain?

I did not want to show the world the sadness in my eyes.

I asked myself, how can I sing from the heart if it is broken?

And slowly it unbroke.

In the following weeks I will be posting a spoken interview.

If you have any questions I would like to answer them, in the spoken interview, if I can.

I have a sacred love and sincere appreciation for your kindness over the years.

You have been friends. I want to thank you for that x  Duffy

Please respect this is a gentle move for me to make, for myself, and I do not want any intrusion to my family.

Please support me to make this a positive experience.
