Lady Gaga reveals she got pregnant after rape, opens up on her mental health struggles

Lady Gaga opened up on her struggles and subsequent healing after she was raped by a producer when she was 19 years old.

In an episode of "The Me You Can't See," the Apple TV+ docuseries of Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey, the American pop star revealed that she fell pregnant as a result of the abuse.

Lady Gaga said she sought medical treatment for physical pain years after the incident, which saw her "locked away in a studio for months."

"I realized that it was the same pain that I felt when the person who raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner by my parents' house because I was vomiting and sick 'cause I'd been being abused," she said.

Lady Gaga said she experienced a "total psychotic break" after she was raped. 

"I've had so many MRIs and scans. They don't find nothing, but your body remembers. I couldn't feel anything. I disassociated," she said.

"It's like your brain goes offline. You don't know why no one else is panicking, but you are in an ultra state of paranoia," she added.

She was eventually diagnosed with a post-traumatic stress disorder and fibromyalgia, a disorder characterized by musculoskeletal pain.

Lady Gaga said it took her two and a half years to learn how to manage her mental health in the aftermath of her abuse.

"I don't tell this story for my own self-service. I've been through it and people need help," she said.

Meanwhile, she has no plans to publicly identify the producer who raped her.

"I do not ever want to face that person again," she said.
