Lady Gaga suffers from a terrible disease due to rapes in her adolescence
When she was 19 years old, the singer repeatedly faced sexual abuse. The artist confesses the consequences that she has had on her health.
Singer Lady Gaga (33 years old) has started the year with her hair dyed pink, the work of her usual hairdresser Frederic Aspiras, and opening her heart wide in an interview with journalist Oprah Winfrey (65) . The artist revealed the consequences that the constant violations that she suffered when she was young have had on her health. The successful creator of A Star Is Born revealed that she developed PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. "I have a mental illness, and I fight it every day," she confessed.
The interpreter was repeatedly raped by a 20-year-old man when she was 19 years old. During that time, the singer rose to fame and did not have a doctor or therapist to help her overcome her trauma. "Suddenly I became a star and I was traveling the world going from the hotel room to the garage to the limo to the stage, and I never faced it, and all of a sudden I started experiencing this incredible intense pain all over my body. the illness I felt after being raped, "she commented.
Gaga first spoke about her rape four years ago on Howard Stern's show (65): "It happens every day and it's very scary and sad," she commented, explaining that the effects didn't last until four o'clock. five years later. Despite this, she did not tell anyone for seven years. "She was so traumatized that I said to myself 'Just go ahead' because I just had to get out of there."
During the hour-long conversation, Oprah and Gaga discussed fibromyalgiam, the disease the singer has suffered from for years. The interpreter recognized that chronic pain is becoming her enemy. It is something that does not stop: "Even sitting here with you today I have pain from head to toe."
She also admitted that neuropsychology-related therapy, the study of how the brain and nervous system affect a person's cognitive functions and behaviors, helps keep the disease under control.
"What's interesting about this is that I discovered, through neuropsychic research and my relationship with my doctors, that fibromyalgia can be treated through mental health therapy," Gaga recounted. "And mental health is a medical condition, it should be treated as a medical condition. It should not be ignored," she added.
Another of the topics discussed in the interview was the rumor of romance that circulated in the media between Bradley Cooper (45) and the singer during the Oscars: "We did a very good job fooling everyone. We believed that."
