Lady Gaga recalls trauma of being raped
Grammy and Oscar-winning singer Lady Gaga has opened up about her trauma of being raped, while speaking on Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry’s series The Me You Can’t See. Appearing in the first episode of the five-part series, Gaga remembers being 19 when a producer threatened to burn her music if she didn’t take her clothes off.
Gaga said she shared her story not to garner sympathy, but to trigger empathy. “Open your heart up for somebody else, because I’m telling you, I’ve been through it and people need help. That’s part of my healing, is being able to talk to you,” she said. — IANS
