Duffy returns to social media after revealing kidnapping and rape

Duffy returned to Instagram after four years. She published a video this Monday, the 25th, which talks about the search for happiness. “A little something to encourage the heart. I hope you are well. Much love, Duffy“, wrote the singer in the caption.

In February 2020, the year in which he made his penultimate publication on the social network, Duffy explained to fans why she took a hiatus from music. She revealed that she was drugged, raped, kidnapped and held hostage in a foreign country.

“Many of you ask what happened to me, where I went and why,” said the British artist in a now-deleted post. “The truth is, and please believe I’m fine and safe now: I was raped, drugged and held hostage for a few days.”

In a letter published online in April of the same year, she gave details of what happened. The “Mercy” hitmaker claimed she was drugged at a restaurant during her birthday celebration. She was kidnapped and taken to another country, receiving death threats several times. “I don’t know where I got the strength to face these days,” she said.

Duffy released the first album, Rockferryin 2008. The second came out in 2010 and, soon after, she took a break from her career, only returning in 2015, when she recorded songs and acted in the film Legends of Crime. In 2020, the singer released “Something Beautiful” and, a few months later, released “River in The Sky” on her Instagram.
