Soul singer Duffy revealed that she was kidnapped, drugged and raped and will tell her full story in the near future
“You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this,” Duffy said. “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.”
Later in the post, Duffy spoke about how her trauma had weighed on her, saying, “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.
