Duffy, the Welsh singer known for her 2008 hit "Mercy," spoke out Tuesday for the first time in years to tell fans her silence came after being raped, drugged, and held captive for days.
"Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why," Duffy wrote. "The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days."
Duffy, whose full name is Aimee Duffy, took a hiatus from the music industry in 2011 after her second album, Endlessly, fared poorly on the charts and with sales. In the years since then, she appeared in a few films but did not release another album and hadn't posted on Instagram since October 2017, according to Wales Online.
