Duffy has released a full account of her kidnapping ordeal in her own words - here’s what it says

Award-winning singer, Duffy, has released a written account of a terrifying ordeal, during which she was drugged, kidnapped and raped.

Writing on her website, duffywords.com, the Welsh born singer opened up about the kidnapping, which caused her to end her music career and remove herself from the spotlight after having released two internationally successful albums.

Starting the account by addressing the current coronavirus pandemic Duffy, born Aimee Anne Duffy, writes, “It troubles me that this story contains sorrow, when so many need the opposite of that at this time.”

What happened during the attack?

According to Duffy’s account, the attack began at a restaurant on her birthday, where she was drugged, before being taken back to her own home. There she was continuously drugged for a period of four weeks, but she explains that she cannot remember if she had been raped by this point. 

In her harrowing account, she discloses that she was later taken to a foreign country while still in a drug-induced state, where she finally awoke in the back of a moving vehicle, before being raped in a hotel room. 

Later in the online statement the singer recounts, “I can’t remember getting on the plane and came round in the back of a travelling vehicle. I was put into a hotel room and the perpetrator returned and raped me.

“I was stuck with him for another day, he didn’t look at me, I was to walk behind him, I was somewhat conscious and withdrawn. I contemplated running away to the neighbouring city or town, as he slept, but had no cash.”

The singer decided not to escape as she was in fear of her life, stating, “I could have been disposed of by him.”

Eventually, Duffy says the attacker flew her back home to the UK.
