The singer rejects the online narrative, saying she was hurt by the essay's timing during her music return.

Overview

  • She said the essay surfaced as she launched a new album and prepared a tour, describing the timing as 'the craziest.'
  • Duff explained she did not know Matthew Koma would post a mocking Instagram response and said she does not censor his social media.
  • She added that Meghan Trainor reached out privately to check on her, indicating they remain on good terms.
