Lady Gaga reveals she was raped and ‘left off pregnant’ in new, emotional interview

Trigger warning:

Oscar-winning actress and artist Lady Gaga has shared a painful part of her past during an interview in the new mental health docuseries, The Me You Can’t See.

In the AppleTV series helmed by Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga (real name: Stefani Germanotta) recalls her "total psychotic break" after being raped as a teenager.

“I was 19 years old, and I was working in the business, and a producer said to me, ‘Take your clothes off,’” she shared. “And I said no. And I left, and they told me they were going to burn all of my music.” 

“And they didn’t stop. They didn’t stop asking me, and I just froze and—I don’t even remember.” 

“The person who raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner.”

She went on to share that she “felt full-on pain, then I went numb” after the abuse.

 “I was sick for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks after, and I realized that it was the same pain that I felt when the person who raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner, at my parents’ house, because I was vomiting and sick."

“Because I’d been abused. I was locked away in a studio for months.”
