Inilahad ng American pop star na si Lady Gaga ang pinagdaanang matinding pagsubok sa buhay noong 19-anyos siya nang maging biktima siya ng panghahalay ng producer at mabuntis.
Sa isang episode ng "The Me You Can't See," ang Apple TV+ docuseries nina Prince Harry at Oprah Winfrey, sinabi ni Lady Gaga na kinailangan niyang magpagamot dahil sa kaniyang mga naramdaman.
“I was 19 years old, and I was working in the business, and a producer said to me, ‘Take your clothes off.’ And I said no. And I left, and they told me they were going to burn all of my music,” pahayag niya na hindi mapigilan na maging emosyonal.
“They didn’t stop asking me, and then I just froze, and I just…I don’t even remember,” patuloy ni Lady Gaga.
Paglalahad pa niya, "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."

Sinabi pa ng mang-aawit na nakaranas siya ng "total psychotic break" matapos ang panghahalay.
"I've had so many MRIs and scans. They don't find nothing, but your body remembers. I couldn't feel anything. I disassociated," paglalahad niya.
"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," patuloy niya.
Kinalaunan ay nalaman na nakararanas siya ng post-traumatic stress disorder at fibromyalgia, isang disorder na may kaugnay sa musculoskeletal pain.
Ayon pa sa mang-aawit, tumagal ng mahigit dalawang taon bago niya natutunan na kontrolin ang kaniyang mental health issue dulot nang pang-aabusong naranasan.
"I don't tell this story for my own self-service. I've been through it and people need help," paliwanag niya.
Wala rin siyang balak na pangalanan kung sino ang naturang producer na umabuso sa kaniya.
"I do not ever want to face that person again," sabi ni Lady Gaga. —FRJ, GMA News
