Duffy to speak about sexual assault, kidnapping and absence from music for first time in Disney+ documentary.

I wish she named him as well. How else does the abuse come to an end?

Thanks for linking that, it was incredibly powerful and well written. I didn't realize the statement was from 2020 during peak covid until I got to the end, that's a crazy backdrop to it.

Damn.. she's been through it. When I was in my early 20's I had a good 'friend with benefits' situation with the most attractive (to me) person i've ever known. Someone broke into her apartment one night and raped her. I was out of my mind with worry, rage, sorrow.. The police were nice enough, but not very helpful in the end - and I went into full 'Private Eye' mode. I wanted to find that f***** like a cast away wants a boat. It almost consumed me. I narrowed it down to 2 suspects, the 1st of which was the first person who popped into my head the moment she told me what happened. I confronted him, which as you might imagine didn't go well. Naturally he denied it, but has ducked my presence ever since (could be because I accused him and he didn't really do it, Idk. It haunts me). I have no idea why today's the day that I needed to write about it. It hurt her in a way that I don't think she ever really healed completely from, and I feel like a failure whenever we do talk, which is infrequently these days. I know it wasn't my fault, but I feel so aggravated that I couldn't get her some measure of justice. She never explicitly asked me to get that for her, it was just a thing that I needed to do at the most primal level, and I still think about it almost every day. Duffy's story kind of jostled something in me I guess.

Think you’ve crashed the site. I really hope she can make a comeback, I remember being so shocked when we first heard about it.

Whos. Duffy?

Another rung down on the enshitification ladder for the site.

It’s not fucked up because it’s not true. Automod does not remove comments with the word rapist. This isn’t TikTok.

Oh there are sooooo many words that trigger it many different subs. You will never know unless you think to log out and check for it.

She was invited to a restaurant on her birthday by someone she knew who then drugged her and took her out of the country, she was raped in the other country for weeks, then brought back to her home UK where she does not know if she was raped again. She knows who the person is and has not yet named them but Mike had both the connections and a motive plus the familiarity to get Duffy to meet him somewhere AND know where she lives and comfortable enough to keep her hostage in her own home once he brought her back to the UK. Like all signs point to it being Mike Phillips.

It's almost always the boyfriend. She got drugged and taken out of a restaurant, by who? Not her boyfriend? Whoever her dinner date was just came back from the bathroom to find her missing and said "gee, guess Duffy left me with the bill." Then that person never heard from her again and didn't tell anyone? Please.

Very irresponsible to assign moral weight to rumors on reddit.

Cannot believe you’re being downvoted for this.

Yeah he's totally gonna find out an anonymous redditor's address and send them a letter.

I think he will be very busy doing that, guilty or not. until the doc comes out or if she names someone people will be snooping around and speculating. not that it's okay, but that is the curse.

Lol. LMAO even. Even if Reddit is subpoena'd for information about that user, do you think they actually know who the human behind the account is?

I feel that a quite big chunk of men feeling like they should have complete control over the autonomy of women is deeply political… no matter if some take their actions as far as that guy and others don’t. Because the root cause for stuff like that happening is the same as with the policies of maga and co.

Or pertains to the US

Yeah it is 

I mean, it kind of is

How dare you insult his personality /s

I'm 31 and had no idea who she was. The story sounds f****** awful though and hope she does well in the future

tbf her hayday was almost 20 years ago. I wouldn't expect people to remember 2007 necessarily.

Lol closer to 40 but ok

what's there to understand? I never heard of her ***until*** I came across this reddit post, is that a crime? and now I have been downvoted to oblivion for making a truthful statement. I guess people feel personally insulted because of this, which is more of an indictment on people's fragile ego being based on their musical tastes.
