The 30-year-old voiced how she was inspired by fellow musician, Madonna’s “inspiring” Billboard Women in Music speech, during which she described being raped on her rooftop.
Unfortunately, Piers Morgan has voiced his doubt over both of their brave revelations, taking to Twitter to share his skepticism.
“Lady Gaga & Madonna have both made ALLEGATIONS of rape many years after the event,” he wrote.
“No police complaint, no charges, no court case.”
Continuing, in what fans have described as an attack on both of the women, he penned, “I fear [sexual assault has] become the latest celebrity accessory.”
“I wouldn’t automatically believe anything either Madonna or Lady Gaga claimed about their lives.”
Fans were moved by Gaga bravely sharing her experience, sadly some felt it necessary to question her story.
Speaking to Today USA, the songstress chatted about how she has been struggling with a “mental illness every day.”
“I suffer from PTSD,” she said while visiting New York City’s Ali Forney Center, which helps homeless LGBT youth. “I’ve never told anyone that before, so here we are.”
“The kindness that’s shown to me by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it’s really saved my life,” she said.
“Kindness, to me, is an action of love or a showing of love to someone else. I also believe that kindness is the cure to violence and hatred around the world. I like to share kindness in a lot of different ways.”
The singer was inspired by Madonna speaking of her own assault.
Gaga explained her PTSD was a result of her being raped at the age of 19.
Trying to help others with her experience, she told Howard Stern, “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.”
While others would lash out at Pier’s unfounded and hurtful allegations, Lady Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, decided to reach out to the 51-year-old journalist.
“I’ve work w/ our VP Joe Biden on helping educate people about why women don’t report would love to share it w/ you some time,” she tweeted, before explaining that PTSD is much more than a a “military disease,” despite Piers’ views on the matter.
“There is a mental health youth epidemic. If anyone in your family suffers from it, I pray they have more good days than bad,” she wrote.
“It has affected me & my whole family.”
The former News of the World editor wasn’t backing down, quickly retorting, “I know numerous soldiers with PTSD, it’s a very serious thing. I also know people who claim to have it but clearly don’t. Let’s talk …”

The Grammy winner agreed to an interview, which impressed Piers, who mused, “I rather admire @ladygaga for agreeing to my interview after my criticisms. Should be a fascinating debate.”
Just as fans assumed the insults had ended, the Brit made a final jab at the singer, “I’ll press my meat suit.”
Unimpressed, Lady Gaga silenced him by saying, “If you continue to shame me in the process of kindly agreeing to interview w/ u I’ll happily do the interview with someone else.”
The TV host quickly responded, “If you’re big enough to do this, I’m big enough to play fair too.”
