Lady Gaga tells me that she’s had to battle misogyny and sexism since trying to kickstart her music career in New York and Los Angeles. “Oh,” she sighs heavily, “I experienced a lot . . . I had really awful experiences with men in the studio. Made me very uncomfortable. I didn’t feel like I was being cherished for my vocal talents, but [was] seen more as someone to take advantage of.”
Did people try and “take advantage” of her physically as well?
“Yes. And I don’t have to elaborate. But I promise you that when women who are in the business that are young read this article, I hope [they understand] that you do not have to put up with that. And I hope to be an inspiration — that [if] you’re talented enough, you can work hard and achieve your dreams “It is very hard, this business. And there are a lot of sharks. And I wish to set a good example. That’s why I’m so honest about those things, ’cause I don’t want to give the impression that this was handed to me on a silver platter. It was certainly not like that,” she says with a snort.
The industry is truly sick, there must be so much going on that we don't know about. Poor Kesha, poor Gaga
