Lady Gaga Speaks About Being Raped

Lady Gaga admitted to Billboard magazine that she debated quitting pop music at the end of 2014, but kept on going and ultimately found herself by teaming up with Tony Bennett, who came to the event to show his support.

Lady Gaga and Missy Elliott have been in tears Friday as they mentioned the struggles they confronted in their careers at an occasion honoring ladies in the music business.

Gaga said her mom takes that prize for being her Woman of the Year. The “AHS: Hotel” actress arrived in a long white skirt and matching halter top paired with white and gold platforms.

After the incident, Gaga made sure that the horrific experience does not define her. Although she admitted that she went through patterns of physical distress as a result of the trauma, she refused to back down.

And while Gaga earned a Grammy nod for best song written for visual media for “Til It Happens To You” – from the sexual assault documentary “The Hunting Ground” – she was also rejoicing because of her Golden Globe nomination for acting.

Demi won over the audience of female power players by recalling a moment from her youth when she punched a boy who said “Girls suck!” in the face. I was thinking all about how I started at the bottom and I had no one that believed in me.
