Duffy's Rotten time
Wednesday, 18 June 2008
Duffy was reduced to tears after Sex Pistols star Johnny Rotten told her to "f**k off".
The Welsh singer approached the punk backstage at the MOJO Honours List awards ceremony on Monday (16.06.08) and tried to hug him.
Johnny allegedly brushed her off, saying: "F**k off, you ****. You never do that to me."
The 'Warwick Avenue' singer was so shocked she burst into tears.
A source said: "Duffy could not believe it. It came completely out of the blue.
"She went to throw an arm around John as they posed up for their group photo. He obviously wasn't expecting it and jumped when she touched him.
"Then he let loose with his tirade - it was still totally uncalled for. Duffy looked terrified and began to cry."
A spokesperson for Duffy - real name Aimee Anne Duffy- said: "Duffy was completely shocked by Johnny's outburst. She just wanted to give him a hug and introduce herself. She was really shaken and upset and went home immediately in tears."
The Sex Pistols frontman later claimed he hadn't realised who Duffy was, saying: "Oh, she got an award? I quite like her."
Duffy won Single of the Year for 'Mercy' at the awards bash in London, while the Sex Pistols picked up the Icon prize.
