In Prince Harry’s Apple TV docuseries called “The Me You Don’t See”, Lady Gaga went into detail about her sexual assault at the hands of a music producer in the industry when she was a young artist. She said that the producer told her to take her clothes off, and that she said no. She said she left, but they told her that they were going to burn all of her music and they didn’t stop.
They didn’t stop asking her and then she froze and doesn’t even remember the attack. It’s called depersonalization, where the victim removes themselves, at least psychologically, from the situation, but that doesn’t mean that the assault didn’t happen – it just means that there’s a mental block in place so that the victim doesn’t remember the assault.
Lady Gaga details sexual assault in new Apple TV docuseries
Gaga said that she didn’t feel comfortable naming her attacker, saying that she never wanted to face that person again. Instead, Gaga wanted to focus on how she felt after the assault and what it did to her mentally. Apparently, it didn’t start affecting her until years later when she went to the hospital for chronic pain. She said of the pain, that first she was in full-on pain, and then her body went numb, and then she was sick for weeks on end afterwards.
She said that the pain in her body was akin to the pain that she felt after her rapist dropped her off on a corner in front of her parents’ house when she was sick and vomiting after being locked in a studio for months and abused. (Hm, this brings to mind the Ke$ha situation from a few years ago, actually.)
Gaga said that for a couple of years afterward, she was not the same person and that even today she can get triggered, even if she’s had months of being okay. Of healing mental trauma she said that everyone thinks of healing in a straight line, comparing being mentally sick to being physically sick, but there are no straight lines when it comes to mental healing.
Truly, you can be fine one day, and in emotional shambles the next, it can take years to achieve being somewhat normal, depending on the level of mental trauma that one goes through. The documentary is called “The Me You Don’t See”, and we here at DSD applaud Lady Gaga’s strength. Stay tuned!!!
