‘Psychotic break’ followed rape, Lady Gaga reveals
Lady Gaga says she got pregnant at 19 after being raped by a music producer early in her career, a trauma that triggered a “total psychotic break.”
The singer-songwriter opened up about the ordeal on Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry’s Apple TV+ show “The Me
You Can’t See,” which focuses on mental health.
Lady Gaga, whose hits include “Born This Way” and “Shallow,” said that “For a couple years, I was not the same girl.”
Gaga said she was later diagnosed with PTSD after going to the hospital for chronic pain.
