"I didn't tell anyone for I think seven years,' she explained. I didn't know how to even think about it, I didn't know how to accept it, I didn't know how to not blame myself or think it was my fault. It was something that really changed my life. It changed who I was completely. It changed my body, it changed thoughts."
The 29 year old singer said "After it happened, I'm like, 'But what did I do in my life to bring this upon myself?' There was some sort of maybe religious guilt attached to it that I had somehow inspired the violence. Because of the way that I dress, and the way that I'm provocative as a person, I thought that I had brought it on myself in some way - that it was my fault."
She continued "When somebody says to me, 'Oh, that happened to you?' 'Oh, did that damage you?' I'm thinking to myself, 'You don't know who the f**k I am now! You don't want to meet me in an alleyway. What I've been through. You can own your pain and it can be a good part of you."
The Bad Romance hit song singer added, "I am here because when I look out onto the sea of beautiful young faces that I get to sing and dance for, I see a lot of people who have secrets that are killing them. We don't want you to keep your pain inside and let it rot like an old apple on your counter, you know? It's like, just get rid of all that trash. Let's get rid of it together."
On Friday Gaga attended Billiboards 10th Annual Women in Music luncheon at Ciprian in New York and she perfomed her song Til It Happens to you as a tribute to sexual victims. Gaga's intention is to help other women who have been sexually assaulted to overcome the pain.
