I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19. I went to Catholic school and then all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?'... I was very naïve." The 28-year-old singer added that the traumatic incident didn t completely impact her until about four to five years later, but that once it did, I was so traumatized by it that I was like, Just keep going. Because I just had to get out of there. Gaga also revealed that for a time she wasn t even willing to admit that anything had happened, and was reluctant to go public about the assault because she didn t want to be defined by it.

After asking "Guess who was the rapist?" he replied "#bingo" when someone responded by asking if it was the producer. In response to Geragos' tweet, Dr. Luke's rep told the Daily News in an ed statement that the claim is "completely false and defamatory." "Luke met Lady Gaga twice for less than half an hour total in those two meetings combined," the rep said. "He has never been alone with her and never touched her.

7 Lady Gaga reveals she was raped by a record producer at 19 Page 1 of 5 share Music News Entertainment Politics Videos Lady Gaga reveals she was raped by a record producer at 19 In Music by Robyn Pennacchia / December 2, 214 In an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday, Lady Gaga revealed that she had been raped at the age of 19 by a record producer 2 years her senior, and how that experience had informed the production of a song she wrote titled Swine. Via E! Online: I wrote a song called Swine. The song is about rape. The song is about demoralization. The song is about rage and fury and passion, and I had a lot of pain that I wanted to release. I said to myself, I want to sing this song while I m ripping hard on a drum kit, and then I want to get on a mechanical bull which is probably one of the most demoralizing things that you can put a female on in her underwear and I want this chick to throw up on me in front of the world so that I can tell them, you know what? You could never, ever degrade as much as I could degrade myself, and look how beautiful it is when I do.'

8 Lady Gaga reveals she was raped by a record producer at 19 Page 2 of 5 share You keep alluding to were you raped by a record producer? Stern asked. I don t I don t want to Gaga replied. Happy times! Let s talk about happy things! I don t want to be defined by it. I ll be damned if somebody s gonna say that every creatively intelligent thing that I ever did is all boiled down to one d khead who did that to me, Gaga said. I m going to take responsibility for all my pain looking beautiful. All the things that I ve made out of my strife, I did that. Gaga said she never confronted the man, and if she were to run in to him again, she isn t sure how she would react. I think it would terrify me. It would paralyze me. I saw him one time in a store and I was so paralyzed by fear, she said. Because it wasn t until I was a little bit older that I went, Wow, that was really messed up.' Gaga said it s especially hard since the man has told people that we used to date! You were 2 years older than me. I was a kid. How is that a date? Gaga asked. It took me a long time to feel strong about it. Looking back, she said, I don t know what I was thinking. I didn t tell anybody. And I didn t even tell myself for the longest time. And then I was like, You know what? All this drinking and all this nonsense, you have to go to the source, otherwise it just won t go away. It will not go away. The fact that her rapist actually had the gall to tell people that he dated her is astounding. It s just the lowest of the low. He s going to rape a teenager and then brag about dating a star? That s sick. As difficult as it is to come forward as a rape victim in the first place, it is even more difficult these days, especially as a celebrity given that there will most certainly be those who jump to the conclusion that one is just looking for attention as though somehow Lady Gaga of all people has no other way of obtaining attention. However, the importance of women coming forward cannot be underestimated. It gives strength to other victims and shows them that the world isn t going to end if they choose to come forward and talk about their experiences as well.
