A producer raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner, I was 19 years old: Lady Gaga

US singer Lady Gaga has made a shocking and sad revelation about her personal life in a documentary out on Friday. The Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer said she was raped by a music producer and became pregnant at age 19, an ordeal that eventually caused her to have a 'total psychotic break'.

She said, in the documentary The Me You Can't See, which was co-created by Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry for the Apple TV+ platform, "I was 19 years old, and I was working in the business, and a producer said to me, 'Take your clothes off'. 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—I don't even remember."

The 35-year-old went on to share details of the sexual assault which led to her getting pregnant. She said, "First I felt full-on pain, then I went numb. And then 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 being abused. I was locked away in a studio for months."

She revealed that it was only years later, when an anxiety attack led her to the hospital, that she realized she had post-traumatic stress disorder. "I had a total psychotic break and for a couple years I was not the same girl," Gaga said. She added, "It's like your brain goes offline and you don't know why no one else is panicking but you're in an ultra state of paranoia," Gaga said. "It's really a very real thing to feel like there's a black cloud that is following you wherever you go telling you that you're worthless and should die."
