Poor woman, that's horrifying

My god....that poor poor woman. I love rock ferry

That's awful. It's hard to imagine the trauma something like that would cause.

I wondered why she took a break from music, she is so talented and this is so sad

Hope someone is getting prosecuted

My goodness, that's terrible. Glad she's recovering and hope whoever did it is appropriately punished.

That's dreadful. Poor Duffy. She is so brave to speak out. I loved her song Warwick Avenue, and she was so beautiful but melancholy in the accompanying video. To this day I remember that song whenever I drive through that area of London.
Duffy- all positive wishes to you wherever you are and I hope you have good support. Brighter days will come.

This is so sad. Naturally there will be speculation regarding the perpetrator and I hope she's given the space she's asked for to tell her story without the press hounding her and demanding answers.

I happened to mention to a friend last week how it was so strange she disappeared at her height,devastating reason why 😞

Poor Duffy. I'm glad she's safe now. What a horrible thing to happen to her.

Poor woman! I heard her song on the radio the other day and always wondered what happpened to her and why she disappeared at the height of her success! Glad she is doing better and talking about this, she will help endless amount of others who have been or going through similar experiences.

Poor women. We currently live in a bad world for women.

I really want to get more women into government, so that the government will do more to protect women

Way too many women being raped. Each country needs to out a national action plan in place to target rape. They do not take it seriously enough

Good grief. Presume it happened some considerable time ago. Wonder if someone is doing time for it?

My goodness, So glad to hear she is recovering from the ordeal, and what bravery to be so open about it. I absolutely love her voice, and was wondering why she disappeared from the public eye.

Awful. Poor lass. I hope she's OK!

I always wondered why she disappeared all that time-poor her

Hell's bells. Poor woman. All the best for your continued recovery Duffy.

That's horrendous! I hope she's doing ok and getting support. I was just thinking about her the other day, "Mercy" was playing in the supermarket.

I don’t know if it’s one of those false memory thing but I’m sure I remember reading about this when it happened?

How weird, a song of hers popped up on random on my ipod just yesterday, Warwick Ave I think, and I was wondering what had happened to her.

I hope that she got justice, I really do. And I am so glad that the sun is shining for her again.

I happen to know a bit about her working history. Unlike others she really did make the decision to step back one day. It wasnt a case of vanishing fame or whateer, she just said she didnt like the fame aspect and wanted to downscle. To hear this was probably a big part of it now is very sad.

You might be thinking of those nutters who tried to kidknap Joss Stone, SeaView?

@Patroclus yes that’s it.
