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

RuffleCrow · 25/02/2020 22:25

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

maa1992 · 25/02/2020 22:27

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

NewNameGuy · 25/02/2020 22:35

Hope someone is getting prosecuted

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 25/02/2020 22:38

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

Babymamamama · 25/02/2020 22:38

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.

BilboBercow · 25/02/2020 22:46

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 😞

PhilSwagielka · 25/02/2020 23:00

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

Smithtylater · 25/02/2020 23:09

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

angell84 · 25/02/2020 23:11

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

JayAlfredPrufrock · 25/02/2020 23:13

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

Amiable · 25/02/2020 23:28

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.

faracrossthepond · 25/02/2020 23:38

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

GabsAlot · 25/02/2020 23:49

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

powershowerforanhour · 25/02/2020 23:58

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

WTF0ver · 25/02/2020 23:59

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.

SeaViewBliss · 26/02/2020 00:05

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?

PyongyangKipperbang · 26/02/2020 00:25

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.

Patroclus · 26/02/2020 00:32

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.

Patroclus · 26/02/2020 00:33

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

SeaViewBliss · 26/02/2020 00:47

@Patroclus yes that’s it.
