Lady Gaga broke down in tears as she told Oprah she developed post traumatic stress disorder after being raped "repeatedly" at the age of 19.

"I was raped repeatedly when I was 19 years old, and I also developed PTSD as a result of being raped and also not processing that trauma,” Gaga said on stage at Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus tour, according to Rolling Stone.

Gaga also found it difficult during her rise to fame as she never "dealt" with the change or got to process what she had been through in her younger years.

"I all of a sudden became a star and was traveling the world going from hotel room to garage to limo to stage, and I never dealt with it, and then all of a sudden I started to experience this incredible intense pain throughout my entire body that mimicked what I felt after I was raped,” she said.

And the 33-year-old singer also opened up about her fibromyalgia diagnosis, admitting she is in "head-to-toe pain" because of it.

Despite this, the singer took to the stage in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve to ring in 2020.
