Rebecca Ferguson is getting candid, revealing that she had a miscarriage years ago and says she was ‘forced’ to work amid miscarriage.
In an effort to increase awareness about artist mistreatment in the music industry, Ferguson met with Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden to discuss artist welfare and musician protection, while remaining outspoken on the topic on social media.
Great news! Some really positive progress…
Thank you 'Secretary of State' @OliverDowden for coming back to me.
I look forward to meeting with you about Artist Welfare and my proposals/recommendations to have a Music Industry Regulator/Ombudsman. https://t.co/wYHjqX9Vrr— Rebecca Ferguson (@RebeccaFMusic) March 26, 2021
Rebecca revealed on Sunday that she has a documentary in the works and discussed her own grief at the loss of her unborn child.
Taking to Twitter, the former X Factor judge shared: “You will see more in my documentary.. but these people forced me to work through a miscarriage despite me pleading to them that I was too ill to work and needed to rest!,” adding “They need to be stopped! Exploitation at its absolute worst! modern-day slavery!”

She went on to address any critics who would attack her, blaming her for getting into that situation, saying:
“For those who say you knew what you were getting into! I almost died promoting music for you all to listen to! I lost a baby whilst promoting music for you all to listen to! Nope definitely did not! ever! In a million years sign up for that!,” concluding, “Stop defending abusers!”

Following allegations made by singers Jedward, who recently called out The X Factor and Simon Cowell, Rebecca stepped up her effort to implement regulations inside record labels and other sections of the industry that would safeguard the wellbeing of artists earlier this year.
