Singer songwriter Duffy has finally broken her silence after four years of retreat, as she takes to Instagram to communicate with her fans once again.
After she had revealed she’d been drugged, sexually assaulted, and kidnapped in a foreign country, which led her to step back from the spotlight, Duffy made a triumphant comeback to social media with a motivational message. Here’s what she said.
What Happened To Duffy?
Through a series of tragic incidents, the singer went through the darkest phase of her life as she got kidnapped and sexually assaulted while she was in a foreign country.
In her 2020 statement, that has now been deleted, she writes, “Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why. The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived.”
She continued, “The recovery took time. There’s no light way to say it. But 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 can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this. The way I would write it, how I would feel thereafter,” she said. “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.”
Now four years later, she has finally posted an update again, in a motivational Instagram post.

Duffy’s Motivational Message For Fans
Coming back to social media, the singer shared two posts with motivational messages, while also giving fans an update on her life.
The post, that features a motivational video that says, “One day you’re going to see it, that happiness was always about the discovery. The hope the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself.”
The voiceover continues, “One day you will understand that happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that your happiness was never in the hands of others. One day you will realize that true happiness comes from within, and no external factors can define it. It was always about you.”
She captioned the video and wrote: “A little something to motivate the heart. Hope you are all doing well. Lots of love, Duffy.”
Ever since her comeback, fans have been flooding her comment sections with kind messages and positivity. It’s unclear if she would return to working on new music as of now, but in the past she has talked about how she doesn’t want to make music about her traumatic experience.
“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” she had said, “I asked myself, how can I sing from the heart if it is broken? And slowly it unbroke.”
