  • Introduction

    As of May 24, 2021, the death of Welsh singer Krissy Duffy was being reported in UK news and on social media. However, as of January 2023, she is still alive and active. Krissy's father was John Duffy and her mother was Joyce Smith (née Williams). Her birth name was Aimee Anne Duffy and she grew up in Nefyn Wales with her twin sister, Kate, and an older sister, Kelly Ann, who was born in 1980. Her parents divorced when she was 10 and her mother married Philip Smith. In 1998, Krissy was briefly put in a police safe house when authorities uncovered a plot by her stepfather's ex-wife to pay a hitman £3,000 to kill her stepfather Philip. "Duffy describes living in the safe house as a dog-eat-dog, claustrophobic and isolating experience. Aged 15, she ran away back to her father's home in Nefyn. Duffy said in retrospect, "It was a horrendous thing to do." Her mother and her sisters did not speak to her for about a year afterwards. In reaction to her parents' break-up, her next three years were a rebellious period that included "binge drinking and stealing a rowing boat" according to Wikipedia. She then began singing with local bands and appeared in various musical venues. After appearing in 2003 on Wawffactor, a Welsh television talent show, Duffy went on to record an album which later achieved some success in Wales. Signing with A&M Records UK in 2007 was her big break and a string of hits ensued, beginning with "Rockferry". She has also appeared in 3 films and has endorsed products such as Nivea and Diet Coke. Krissy, a singer, was reportedly raped in 2020. See the story at Duffy was at high risk of suicide. . ..

Duffy was at high risk of suicide. . .
. . .after rape ordeal and credits her therapist's help

Duffy said she was a "high risk of suicide in the aftermath" of the rape and abduction

Duffy was left at high risk of suicidal after she was drugged, raped and kidnapped.

It's the first time the singer, 35, has spoken about her "dark secret" to the world in an honest blog post.

The starlet confessed she was at a "high risk of suicide in the aftermath" of the frightening ordeal.

It was on her therapist's pink sofa in her company in her huge library that the singer was first finally able to share her terrible tale with another person.

Duffy thanked her therapist for helping her cope with her heartache.

She said: "Without her I may not have made it through. I was high risk of suicide in the aftermath."

In her own words, the songstress recalled the heartbreaking ordeal which she endured for four weeks.

She said: "It was my birthday, I was drugged at a restaurant, I was drugged then for four weeks and travelled to a foreign country.

"I can’t remember getting on the plane and came round in the back of a travelling vehicle. I was put into a hotel room and the perpetrator returned and raped me.

"I remember the pain and trying to stay conscious in the room after it happened. I was stuck with him for another day, he didn’t look at me, I was to walk behind him, I was somewhat conscious and withdrawn. I could have been disposed of by him."

The Welsh beauty recalled being too frightened to run away at first and made the flight back to the UK with the perpretrator.

She was then held captive in her own home.

But the perpetrator's threats to kill her gave her the courage to flee for her life and hide away from him.

Just weeks ago, Duffy was overwhelmed with love and support with fans when she talked about the rape and abduction for the first time.

The singer made a comeback to the spotlight to tell fans her story.
