Singer Duffy, best known for her song 'Mercy,' returned to social media after a three-year hiatus, after having previously revealed a harrowing account of being kidnapped and assaulted.
Singer Duffy, best known for her song 'Mercy,' has returned to social media after a more than three-year break. The singer, full name Aimee Duffy, shared a post featuring an inspirational animated video with a voiceover speaking about the nature of happiness. 'One day you're going to see it, that happiness was always about the discovery,' a voiceover says in the video. 'The hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go.
It was my birthday, I was drugged at a restaurant, I was drugged then for four weeks and traveled to a foreign country,' she recalled in the post. 'I can’t remember getting on the plane and came round in the back of a traveling vehicle. I was put into a hotel room and the perpetrator returned and raped me.' She explained that she was stuck with her kidnapper for another day inside the hotel room and feared he would kill her before flying back to an unspecified location later.
The toll of me hiding, this last decade, also meant I was estranged from all,' she said. 'What happened was not only a betrayal to me, to my life, a violence that nearly killed me, it stole a lot from other people too.' After struggling for years and being at a 'high risk of suicide,' she decided to share her story in the hopes it would help others. 'I have no shame in telling you either I had spent almost 10 years completely alone and it still burns my heart to write it.
