    Where are you getting this from? Are you certain it hasn't been investigated? Or even completely dealt with? Or even what jurisdiction it happened in?

    No, you've no idea - all you have to go off is the same instagram screenshot as the rest of us but decide she's lying right off the bat.

    No wonder women feel they can't report/say anything.

    Absolutely agree with you. I am willing to believe it but at the same time it is so light on detail for such a grave crime that it just smells strange.

    It's like "Yeah sorry I was living a low key life for a few years...yada yada.......i was drugged, raped and kidnapped.....yada yada....."

    The way the message was conveyed was so casual and vague on the details for something so shocking is strange to me.

    It would seem vague if you haven't read it. She stated in her post that she had a very long chat with a journalist who will be reporting the full story. She wasn't vague about that. :rolleyes: You keep on being skeptical though.

    Fair enough. I am happy to change my mind.

    Too many people craving attention these days that why so many people are skeptical and rightly so.

    She had attention, she was a chart topping singer. You think one day she decided "I don't want attention" and disappeared, then a few years later thought "Feck the singing for fame, I want rape fame"??? :confused::confused:

    There will be no end to the mental gymnastics that will be applied to automatically deciding that she, or anyone who reports rape - is a liar.

    How much detail do you want, in a brief statement that actually says a journalist will be following with more detail?

    Stop pretending you are trying to see it both ways, it's quite clear where you stand.

    God Love her it was an awful ordeal she went through. I just don't know why she posted about it on social media. Its probably because of the times we live in and also given she was in the public eye and then disappeared she wants to clarify. I don't know. I wish we lived in a world without Instagram and Facebook and whatever else there is.

    Nobody is asking you to buy anything.

    The bit in bold is perfect and it would have been a good post if you left it there. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not.

    You assessing the sadness in her eyes is pure nonsense and cheapens what is (or should be) a fairly serious topic.

    Maybe it's true, maybe it's not.
    You seem like the type to believe any old cobblers, I hope you didn't donate to the dwarf kid in America. :D

    An Instagram post doesn't give much scope for detail. It's not a story you can tell in a few words and Instagram doesn't lend itself to a long detailed account. It could also be that she just wants to tell her story once, with the interview, and leave it at that. Telling and retelling a traumatic event is not healthy.

    Well, that’s not exactly true now, is it, T?

    If the, alleged, perpetrator was black, Indian Asian, or an Arab I’m certain the veracity of her claim would not be under any scrutiny by these, so called, “disbelievers”.

    The tide is turning…

    Or the mental gymnastics that will be applied to automatically decide that any woman who reports a rape is telling the truth and should be believed even when there is no shred of evidence and the alleged rape happened decades ago. The message has become if a woman makes an accusation of rape we have to believe based on her gender that she is telling the truth and that the man accused is guilty based on his gender. Seriously fooked up way to want the world to go.

    Yeah, it's all probably PC culture or snowflake libtards or something I guess.

    How should someone report their rape to you?

    Sorry, some woman who hasn't been in the public spotlight for ages suddenly pops up with staged sad photos and long story short, says she was raped and stay tuned for further details and some people think it's genuine. Maybe it is maybe it isn't but I see it as cashing in. I've no doubt that you'll have other members of the moral outrage #ibelieveher brigade jump on the woke train to attack me but I just don't care. As for the lying dwarf kid and his Momager, yeah the real issue isn't the scam but that I got the country wrong. :rolleyes:

    Wait and see, she might implicate a muslim or something, flips will be flopping to beat the band then.

    She didn't report it to that poster, she announced it to the world on Social Media.

    I would see it exactly the same. An Instagram post isn't enough information to make a judgement, one way or the other, on something with such high stakes.

    In a way that didn't "smell right" to that poster. So I'm asking (that poster) how it should be reported such that it would "smell" right to them.

    Can't believe I read the entire thread. Will leave it at that, no good can come from posting how I'd describe a subset of posters here.

    So you are sceptical that Duffy was raped & kidnapped, for no other reason than to give the 2 fingers to the woke brigade, but you believe the viral conspiracy theory about Quadan Bales being 18yrs old with no issues?
    That's quite an inconsistent approach to take.
    His mother posted his birth cert online to prove he is in fact 9, so its long been debunked anyway.
    Whatever about Duffy, directing that level of nastiness towards a child with a disability (or "lying dwarf kid", if you prefer) is horrible.

    If true I'm not surprised she shrank away from public life or hasn't announced it with names,places and details of what happened. FFS she's recovering from a horrendous traumatic experience.
    We don't know if police are involved yet.
    If true she has , thankfully, recovered to a degree where she can make it public through a journalist, followed by a book and a mega selling comeback album, Grammy's etc.
    Ind if true no-one would begrudge her .
    We'll see but if it's bullsh1t it's the most audacious celebrity hoodwink ever attempted

    Christ almighty, the whiff of Edgelords is quite strong in this thread.

    This is a perfect example of why a lot of women don't speak out about their ordeals to certain types of people. Having gone through a traumatic event, then taking time to heal, then finally being able to talk about, all to have people claim she is doing it for 'rape fame'.

    People like that will find that women who have been the victim of similar events, won't talk to them about it... so it reinforces their mindset that sexual assaults against women are not that common. Essentially their own cold heartedness keeps them ill informed.

    Back on Topic.
    Always wondered what happened to her, not a fan of her music. Hope those involved in the crimes where found guilty and charged appropriately. She seems to be in a better place now, and is trying to move on with her life. I honestly hope she can achieve this.

    1, it wasn't that people here though he was 18, it was that the whole video was a set-up by his momanger for clicks, disgusting woman using him like that but it wasn't her first time.

    2, I haven't a clue on this one here, people are right to be sceptical though as it was released on Instagram, until more is released to substantiate the claims, IMO people are right to call it out and not be drowned out by the "aww I feel so sorry for her/him.

    They shouldn't. They should go to the police and give a statement in as much detail as possible.

    I appreciate it would be traumatic but would argue it is better to tell the police who can refer you to counselling services, rather than a music magazine writer.
