In an emotional, lengthyon Sunday, the Welsh "Mercy" singer elaborated on a previous social media post in which she revealed she was “raped, drugged, and held captive over some days." In the years since the attack, she's focused on recovery and has stayed away from the limelight.
"I could have been disposed of by him," she continued. "I contemplated running away to the neighboring city or town, as he slept, but had no cash and I was afraid he would call the police on me ...
