She said: "I was very naïve."
While Lady Gaga did not reveal the person behind her rape, she revealed that the man was 20 years older than her. "I think it would terrify me. It would paralize me," she said about confronting her rapist.
"I saw him one time in a store and I was so paralized by fear," she narrated. "Because it wasn't until I was a little bit older that I went, 'Wow, that was really messed up.'"
The controversial singer shared, reported by Cosmopolitan: "I don't know what I was thinking. I didn't tell anybody."
"I didn't even tell myself for the longest time," she expressed, narrating details about how she eventually got into drinking after the rape incident.
Lady Gaga then revealed how she decided to help herself recover from her rape trauma. She explained: "I was like, 'You know what? All this drinking and all this nonsense, you have to go to the source, otherwise it just won't go away... It will not go away."
