Lady Gaga Rape At 19

Lady Gaga said that she was raped by a music producer when she was 19.

Lady Gaga visited a youth center and told the members there: "I suffer from PTSD. I've never told anyone that before. So here we are. I've been searching for ways to help myself."

"People don't know this about me because I don't share it. I know they see me as this kind of celebrity that has success and money and the world watching and that I must have no problems. But I actually suffer from chronic pain all the time. It's from this paralyzing fear that I've experienced for almost 10 years," said Gaga

"I didn't tell anyone for I think, seven years. I didn't know how to think about it. I didn't know how to accept it. I didn't know how to not blame myself or think it was my fault. It's something that really changed my life. It changed who I was completely. It changed my body. It changed my thoughts," said Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga said she only spoke of the incident now because she does not want "to be defined by it"
