Lady Gaga has shared a painful moment in her life when she had to deal with abuse from a producer when she was 19 years old that resulted in pregnancy.
Lady Gaga confesses she got pregnant as a result of sexual abuse
On Friday, May 21, the documentary The Me You Can’t See, the brainchild of Prince Harry and well-known journalist Oprah Winfrey, who join forces in a new project-initiative to raise awareness of the issues and the importance of mental health care, premiered on Apple TV+.
Harry himself has been the protagonist of this first episode, in which the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II makes all kinds of confessions.
He is joined by other characters, such as Lady Gaga, whose interview has left some dramatic moments.
The artist has delved into what she felt as a victim of sexual abuse by a producer, as a result of which she became pregnant.
The singer, who is now 35 years old, was only 19 when a producer, whose name she has never wanted to give, threatened to burn her music if she did not undress for him. The producer abused her and she became pregnant.
Most frighteningly, she didn’t assimilate the fear she felt at the time for many years afterward, which manifested itself in what she describes as “a total psychotic break” that left her paralyzed and feeling all that panic.
“I never dealt with that moment,” the singer explains in her interview. I didn’t know how to accept it, I didn’t know how not to blame myself. It changed my body and my way of thinking. I felt pain.
The moment impacted her so much that she even self-harmed for years.
Two years after the abuse, the singer released her first album, The Fame (2008), which brought her international fame and was the beginning of a solid career.
It is not the first time that the singer talks about this dramatic episode, as she already did so in an interview with Howard Stern in 2014.
