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.
