She has previously alluded to these experiences in her song ‘Swine’, which she described in a radio interview as being “about the more troubling and challenging sexual experiences I had earlier in my life”.

The lyrics to the chorus of ‘Swine’ say, ‘I know you want me, you’re just a pig inside a human body’.

Speaking about the song in an interview with Marina Abramovic in V magazine, she said: "The idea of something so dark and something so awful and perverted that at a young age you don't really understand. And you don't want to know and understand it. And then, as I'm older, I understand the intenseness of the experiences that I went through. They have affected and changed who I am now.”

Gaga isn’t the only popstar to speak out about sexual abuse in the music industry, after it was reported this week that Kesha has filed a lawsuit against her music producer, Dr Luke, claiming he has abused her sexually and emotionally over the past ten years, which he vehemently denies.
