Lady Gaga opened up about her being raped at the age of 19 and how that traumatic experience changed her life. She had first disclosed being raped as a teenager last year on Contactmusic while speaking about a film The Hunting Ground'The Hunting Ground'.
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' she said.
She was asked how that experienced physically transformed her, Lady Gaga said, 'when you go through trauma like that, it doesn't just have the immediate physical ramifications.'
Lady Gaga then revealed that it took her several years to begin not blaming herself for what had happened.
'Because of the way I dress, and the way that I'm provocative as a person, I thought that I had brought it on myself in some way. That it was my fault,'
Lady Gaga epitomizes rockstar resilience and is an example of post traumatic growth especially when she says 'I'm not going out on this sad chord'!
