Krissy Duffy

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. . ..
