singer Joss Stone Reflecting on her decision to leave behind abusive relationships in the past.
Stone, 38, answers fan questions from her “Cuppa Love” podcast In Instagram video On Saturday, August 16, a listener wrote that he was “ready to leave” a relationship and asked for “help” to leave. Stone said the note made her “hold her breath” while reading, knowing the answers can’t wait for her next podcast.
In a series of follow-up videos released on Sunday, August 17, Stone shared advice for listeners that “with plans” how to leave “is really a good idea.”
Stone revealed that she had experienced a similar situation.
“I tried to leave him, and I can’t tell you how many times,” Stone said of past relationships. “Every time I feel it becomes more and more dangerous.
Stone claimed that when she was wearing a T-shirt, he “threw me in the rain.”
“He thought he locked the door and I was stuck in the driveway and I didn’t know the code to go. He just thought he would trap me in the rain.” “I do know the code.”
Once she opened the door, Stone recalled thinking “He couldn’t hurt me” and then fled the house.
“My feet killed me and were torn apart by bloody concrete.” “I was running and I was thinking, ‘I’m going to the end of this road’, I have nothing.”
Stone “stays running” but doesn’t have a cell phone. Eventually, Stone realized “that follows me.”
“It’s so annoying,” she added. “He did catch me anyway and did tell me that the police were coming to arrest me and all of this stuff. It’s all bulls.”
Stone said he “draged me back,” but then she found a way to abandon the relationship.
“I was able to leave him because I was a touring musician. So, I used to go on the road to do my job,” she explained. “I just decided not to go back. It was actually easy. I didn’t need aristocrats and kindness to try to break up with him face to face. I tried to do it a lot and it was very dangerous.”
