- It only took one film. Lady Gaga’s turn as Ally in A Star Is Born has made her a bonafide movie star. Her role is generating Oscar buzz and last night in LA, she was honored as one of ELLE’s Women in Hollywood. In her riveting acceptance speech at this year's event, Gaga opened up about her sexual assault, mental illness, and a plea for women to lift up each other’s voices and “beckon the world towards kindness.” “I wanted to take the power back,” she said.

Earlier this week, we celebrated ELLE's 25th annual Women In Hollywood event, and gave credit to 11 women - including Lady Gaga - who push the conversation forward in 2018. Let us know your favorite moment from Gaga's speech, and read more about #ELLEWIH on ELLE.com: www.elle.com/elle-women-in-hollywood-2018/
Elle is also on the Gaga payroll. An expose needs to be done on the shady side of the biz. Why not write about her many relationships with sexual predators, Elle? How about the many years she worked with Terry Richardson? The song and video she made with RKelly making fun of rape? And what about her projects with Brett Ratner? Seems Elle has a selective memory or has simply decided to throw their journalistic integrity to the side. Also funny is that Gaga only speaks on this issue when she has something to promote.
What about Charlize Theron's speech?
Go fuck yourself, Gaga has been an advocate for mental health since 2011/2012 when she launched her BTW foundation. And has talking bout surviving sexual assault since 2013-14. She campaigned and even made a song for sexual survivors in 2015. Her song with R Kelly has nothing to do with making fun of rape, the song was written after the media made fun of her gaining weight, so the song talks about how the media can do whatever they want with her body, but it won't affect her mind, so once again, kindly go fuck yourself.
@@christopherg313 you sound ignorant as hell and I pray you don't have a daughter and never do.
Incredibly moving speach.. Kindness and mental health... So relevant and progressive. I was diagnosed with the same problem after sexual assault. Lady Gaga said very truthfully what I have been going through. Thank you so much for this speech it makes me feel like I am not alone.
Why the f*** are people laughing? She is being serious and pouring out her heart in sadness.
Some do that when they feel stressed
Earla Weese get a grip on life
Earla Weese do you never get fed up spreading hate? Why not try and understand what she’s been through. I’m sure you’ve at least once in your life time said something you didn’t actually mean, celebrities are human too. You’ve never been here don’t try and assume who she is. Now fucking be nice to ppl otherwise u might contribute to someone shitty mental health. And that’s goes to everyone.
Levity
Sage Leyendas i don’t know, but they laughing, it’s so f* annoying
Lady Gaga: *gets emotional*
Audience: lol
US people don’t know how to react to emotions they feel uncomfortable and laugh
there just so immature and disgusting they need to grow up
Jenna Lazaneo most of the time when people laugh in these type of situations it’s because they experienced it themselves and most of the time when people laugh at their own struggles and talk about their problems like it’s a joke they’re NOT okay
BUT I get why you think like that because there’re also some times when people laugh at other people’s struggles because they like that pain but I don’t think it’s like that in this case
@@ErnieKings27 Yeah I agree it is likely just nervous laughter.
I think they were laughing with love.
"As a women who isn't brave enough to say his name "
*I felt that....*
Let's air hug. Stay healthy. I'm proud of you. *warm hugs*
*warm hugs* i hope you feel safe and comfort tonight ♡
you are stronger that any of us . Lots of love ❤️
Lumina Taekook Amen I feel you gf.
I felt that too... 😢
“I still have days where I feel like it was my fault” that line. That line.
♥️
@@grislon7704 that's messed up watch who you say that to , it could be your friend, family or an acquaintance. I hope it never happens to them because there would clearly be no support from you.
She wrote a speech, papers to read from.....yet she spoke from her heart, hardly looking down at her notes. Eloquent, intelligent, well articulated,
sensitive yet powerful. She is a force of nature. Thank you, Lady Gaga.
Boooooooooo don't NOBODY care
Teleprompters
lol no, she was looking at the teleprompters.
Puuuulease she is a entertainer this is great for her ratings fake emotions
1950dn I agree
I was also raped.... last February and right now it is January 2020, and I’ve been suffering depression,anxiety,trauma and it sucks. I told my mom that night and we went to the hospital and I reported it to the police and such, ever since then I had to take medication and get needles to heal and I stopped in June. All the guys who done it that night to me, they’ve been going to court and I have my court date next month, two days After the incident and also in March. I am a survivor, and that night I was told from a person I thought who was my friend, that took me to that place, after 3 hours straight the person took me home and was threatening me saying that if they hear about it, they would go around the school and say I slept with a lot of guys. Also told me to take 3 showers that night, and so I was gonna be quiet but I realized and told myself that no it isn’t right I need to use my power and confess what happened and so I did. I also would’ve been pregnant but I got on some kind of pill that helped me not be pregnant. Which was good and I am good for now but all I know is I won’t be always good, I will get through this. I hope this doesn’t get reported or deleted because I’m saying the truth about what happened to me
Darlene Lmn You are very strong to share your story here, thank you. I hope you continue to grow even stronger from these experiences.
Annac29 thank you.. I appreciate that
Did ur test report came positive or negative? Did the advocates helped u well? Im strugglling..no honest advocate 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I hope you're getting better.
What happened?
“Today I wear the pants” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
PERIODT
Today I'm wearing a skirt because someone homophobic called me out :p
I will start to wear pants now
LOVVEEDD that!!
YESSS THE WAY I STARTED TO CLAPP
As I was abused as a child by my own father and recently lost my partner to suicide because the mental health system failed him I cannot agree more MENTAL HEALTH needs to change
I was too
I am so sorry for you both. Hope you are better now because you deserve to♥️
Die Lara sorry for your loss and for what happened to you xx
Nico Ramen sorry you went through that it’s not easy to overcome
I'm sorry you went through that. ❤
This woman does not get enough credit for her rawness. She’s so kind, caring, selfless, strong, empowering, inspirational, and you can see right through her, that is her true form! Amen for this amazing woman who graces us day in and day out🙌🏻✨💕💜
Wow! Lady Gaga is Amazing. So incredibly articulate and sincere. We need to clone her and make this world a better place! Love her!
i love her raw-ness
Yes!!!
Lady gaga aka Stephanie, is one of the most beautiful woman, the way she carries herself, she kind,empowering, loving,selfless, endearing and inspiring. Who makes me believe in my self more THANKYOU #LadyGaGa
Molly Allin I 100 percent agree with you she is not like any famous person I have ever seen...I mean that in a very good way! Her heart is bigger than she is! I love her so much for that reason!
I'm mostly into female singers of the 70's/80's/90's but Lady Gaga is by far the best and most inspirational modern-day artist. Not to mention intelligent and unique
YES! Preach
Im not just going to take her word for it. Too many people lie about that.
Even If she really was rape she doesnt care if the rapist rapes other people. If she did she would name him.
Yes!! Thank you Lady Gaga for addressing the issues. You are a blessing
Truth has been spoken
The laughter literally boils my blood
same, it's so annoying SMH
@@MARSBELLA1 i- what the-
@@MARSBELLA1 she is not lying and we need to start believing victims
@@MARSBELLA1 excuse me?
Yesssss
Why are they laughing she’s literally talking about how women are so over sexualised she didn’t even want to wear a dress, are they even listening??
Maybe they didn't expect what was coming and thought, that it is going to turn into something funny.
Bella that seems unlikely they laughed at every little thing even when she paused, they are definitely trying to cover up the fact she’s hurting
As she was making her speech The crowd cheers in agreement! I heard no laughing! 🙄
they just wanna laugh about their jobs at ELLE
I laugh when i'm inspired and motivated and WANT TO CRY it's like a "FUCKYES" laugh!! not all of us release certain emotions in the same stereotypical way. That's the fun of being human we are all unique.
Imagine what her Oscar acceptance speech would be like?
UGH I HOPE SO MUCH
actually, I can imagine, and this piece is gonna be included for sure: "There can be 100 people in a room and 99 of them don't believe in you but all it takes is one and that was Bradley"
@@ana19983 LMAO
Aliya Tamarin I’m ready for it.
It was iconic and inspiring ✨❤️
I'm done with people saying she is fake, she's been trying to convey this message since the beginning of her career! If you were dumb enough to not see past her outfits it's your fault!
AMEN
Well said .
I truly admire and like Lady Gaga and her message but i can't understand why she worked with R Kelly after all the sexual misbehavior allegations against him.
@@hihenry22 i think she sees good in people that sometimes shes dose not realize that R kelly is bad well this is my opinion .
I honestly don't think she consciously thought "oh! I'm gonna have this rapist in my song and we are going to make a shocking track that can be misinterpret as a rape song", I think she was naive and she focused on the artist in R Kelly rather than him as the shitty person he is.
She said that DWYW was her love letter to R&B and that she wanted the King of R&B singing in the track. Plus she also said that the main reason why she added R Kelly to her album was beacuse she wanted to surprise her friend and make up artist at the time Tara Savelo, because R Kelly was her favorite artist and Gaga wanted to cheer her up beacuse Savelo was diagnosticated with Lupus.
It's truth she made a huge mistake, not only because R Kelly was involved in DWYW but also beacuse she allowed Terry Richardason to direct a very disturbing video for the song, and to be honest, I'm glad she realized her mistake and that she cancelled the whole thing and her assosiation with both! Not only bacuse they are awful people that don't deserve any kind of recognition, but also because if she had let the world watch that video, that would have been the definitive end of her career.
WHY ARE THEY LAUGHING, so disrespectful
Rude
I believe they laught because they can relate and clearly see how crazy things are, not because they don't listen or act disrespectful.
bcz it looks like parody
@@Pian0Mast3r laugh*
I thought the laughing was odd but maybe it's just because she's a celebrity.
Why did the audience keep laughing at things that aren’t funny? Like when she was talking about trying on dresses and they were laughing like WHY that wasn’t meant to be funny.
coz hollywood is fake
I think it's just nervousness. I know sometimes I laugh or cry inappropriately sometimes when I feel awkward or emotional.
Probably because they knew she’s a GSK puppet advertising there drugs!!
@@pl-tq9py Yeah definitely! Speaking about tolerance and supporting one another and advocating for therapy, admitting you have a problem and need help is absolutely advertising for Big Pharm lol.
It surely was for some of them
"Not just as women, but as humans."
This is, and has been my motto. Man or women. We should all be kind and understanding we are just humans.
Find something about pizzagate and adrenochrome. Watch her videos and find something about satanic symbols.
Romana Gaborova girl you watching way too many conspiracy theory channels
@@ttttt5072 and u should start to watch it more
Amen
Romana Gaborova conspiracy theories are simply theories, nothing about it is true or confirmed. AT ALL. That is why it is called a theory.
whoever dislike this, is disgusting. this speech is beyond incredible and so heart touching.
@@earlaweese ,,,You're fucking insane
@@earlaweese if you're not already under the care of a psychiatrist, you should go see one. They can help you.
Earla Weese you have to let it out with a psychologist or a mental health professional 🙁sorry to say that but it’s truth
@@earlaweese you need help you have so much anger its unhealthy go talk to someone professional
It’s ok to have a different point of view.
As a fan i was blind for so many years, now i see how actually depressed she was at that time... im in shock. What a brave heart she has.
“i still have days where i feel like it was my fault” WHEN i tell u i LOST it💔
It's never easy to survive Sexual Abuse yet, when you surpass it; you're UNSTOPPABLE.
❤️
But how do you do that
She is a poster child for post traumatic growth.
I AM UNSTOPPABLE
@@lori3423 im still trying but im getting there
@@Madmen604 i have PTSD maybe she can help me :)
I pray I can meet her in my lifetime
Me too :')
I pay so I can meet her in my lifetime
me too
Me too
me too, darling!!
My mom and my sister are both victims of sexual assault. I'm crying right now 😭
lady gaga: **crying**
Audience: LOL shes crying! 😂😂
Honestly, I was never a big Lady Gaga fan. I liked some of her music, but didn't really know much about her. When A Star is Born came out, I went to see it and I was blown away. And I went to see it again the next day. Seriously. Then I watched her Five Foot Two documentary on Netflix. Then I watched some interviews. And I'm truly mesmerized by her. She's such an amazing, inspiring, strong (and obviously talented) human being. Now I know who to look up to when I'm feeling lost.
Nicole X You should watch Gaga ‘Emotion Revolution’. I think you’d get inspired from that as well. :)
Nicole X Wait you saw A Star is Born two days in a row??? Your tear makers must be worn out. ;) Seriously though what an amazing film. I was a blubbering mess but was blown away as well.
@@Theendlessriver77 Haha yeah, it was emotionally exhausting!
@@christine.panayiotakakos Ok, thanks for the tip. x
Completely agree!!! Saw the movie twice as well so far. Will watch again. She is absolutely incredible in every way.
No celebrity gives better speeches than her.
WHAT A WOMAN
And she’s also the biggest hypocrite in Hollywood.
@@christopherg313 can you elaborate on how you discoved her hypocracy ?
Chris G okay madonna fan. You been commenting about Gaga praise in every comment
Chris G you’re another one of those annoying people who keep making negative replies on other people’s comments aren’t you?
Chris G Go play farming simulator, fool.
14 years I’ve been following this wonderful woman. 14 years of learning from her, crying for her, laughing for her and growing because of her. She is a true artist. Thank you, Gaga. Paws up for ever ❤️
Lady Gaga seems like such a genuine person. It is great to see someone so high profile speak out about chronic physical pain.
Is it only me who noticed the irritating reaction from the audience ? I highly doubt that they understand what she is trying to say 😠
I hardly doubt you understand what she's represent. She's satanist. Find something about her. Why she's covering her eye almost everywhere.
Watch out of shadows, find something about illuminati, adrenochrome......You will never be like before
They are probably all on drugs...
@@sn8840 yea adrenochrome
@@tarotskop absolutely, she herself is absolutely disturbed and its so obvious ! I understand why there are so many suicides overdose and so on... I got to know what drug they all are on and honestly i still am in profound schock. Everyone has to know.
I think the audience are laughing coz they can relate to her saying, "i was trying on so many dresses" when you cant be arsed
Since 2009 she’s been helping me constantly without even knowing who I am. This is some next level artist right there. Someone who uses her voice without fear. Praise Gaga!
I relate to this comment on a spiritual level... “she’s been helping me constantly without even knowing who I am”. I can’t even explain the connection I feel to this woman and our fanbase. It stopped being just about the music so long ago. Whenever I had no family in my life, I had her and all of you guys. Much love, fellow lil monster. Love you. 💜
Same!
me too. I stopped worrying bout who people expected me to be. also her music made me learn how to listen to music for entertainment... I grew up in a strict christian household so music was one of those things that goes hand in hand with reading the Bible. I just enjoyed her music.
Me too.
Same!!! 💯🙌🏽 Well said. ❤️
Chronic physical pain and what feels like endless depression and mental illness is my life. People like Gaga make me get out of bed, wash up, get dressed and just try. Everyday I just try because my family loves me and needs me
STOP LAUGHING AT HER WHEN SHE IS BEING SERIOUS AND SPEAKING HER REALIST EMOTIONS!!😭😭🤬💔
ikr she’s LITERALLY crying on stage and they’re all like haha
@@weewooweewoo906 she's definitely not crying I think she's just a bad actor
Realest*
She’s a joke. She wanted to be a joke. She put in effort to be a joke. Now you’re telling us we aren’t allowed to laugh… why? Because of the subject she’s talking about? Go commit several crimes then complain that an officer is arresting you when you were giving money to the homeless. Doesn’t work like that sweetly. S
A must watch 👏👏
omg i love your channel! how has nobody else noticed you yet... 😂
Thanks for watching, friends!
SOOOOO TRU LOLOLOL
In tears.
I used to think Lady Gaga was quirky and had eccentric fashion sense, but it’s only recently that I see how graceful, humble, and sweet she really is. I really hope she wins an Oscar or a Grammy for her movie. ❤️❤️❤️
My thoughts exactly!
Reshme Subramaniam couldn’t agree more after a Star is born I felt like I know her now .
She deserves both an Oscar and a Grammy 👑🥇🏆
💞💜
And she did.
Was literally crying my eyes out as she gave this speech, also for how close to home it hit. I don't understand how people are laughing in the background..?
Maybe it's because they don't want to hear what she has to say and they don't want to take it seriously
This woman is the finest example what a human being should be
I felt like my innocence was gone and I was dirt. I thought if anyone ever found out they would think that too. Age 13 now 35 Trauma Survivor
God bless
I was 12 or 13 too. I can’t remember exactly.
I was +- 7 until 12 by one person, and than with 14 it was in group.
Right there with you sister.
I wish you all the very best. London, UK, 7 June 2020
"We are not simply objects to entertain the world."
As a survivor her words are so empowering. Her song "Til it Happens to You." Used to help me get through some dark days.
sarah Girl yes!! Sending good vibes
Well said Sarah❤️
@MsPark lol yes I know all this. But her song because she sings and performs it. Doesn't mean warren didnt write it. She wrote celine dion songs but when because I love you comes I think of it being celine dion's. But no worries diane warren is a well known legend and I have the greatest respect for her talent.
I’m a survivor too. And I felt every word of that song. I’d listen to it on repeat.
I was assaulted and I never did anything about it. I felt it was my fault. Feeling so much for you Stephanie, I’m so sorry so many women have been abused in this way. 😢
What tf is the audience laughing at??? If I was there, I would be crying my eyes out
I cried so much during this speech. She has such an amazing soul. I love everything she stands for. I will forever love this woman. She is the complete representation of class, intelligence, talent, elegance, strength, and inspiration, and more. I love you so much GaGa.
That's so true no one like her
True
Victor Hugo Padilla I agree she is honest, open and vulnerable. A beautiful real woman. 💖
She is everything 💜
She never ceases to amaze me. Raw, intelligent, truth, deep, and passion are a what comes to mind to describe Lady Gaga. What a true artist and great public speaker. She is an icon.
The more I learn about Gaga, the more I love and admire her. Her story gave me the strength to admit my own assault. Over 30 years ago, and I never told a single person. It never crossed my mind because of who his family was, and keeping it inside all these years has taken its toll. So brilliant and talented, and so kind, humble and compassionate. Thank you for sharing your story with us, it unlocked something in me.
9:17 where is the tone of applause from the audience?
Such a strong speech and such a strong woman. ❤
I think she is the most important person in Hollywood because she uses her experiences and voice to empower survivors and damnit I love her for it 💖
*living
I can relate up to this point. Though I gotta say MJ was just the best.
agreed. she isn't pretending be perfect like other artists
❤❤❤
Selena Gomez also does this
❤👏👏
This made me cry. I’m also a sexual assault survivor. It does change you forever. And I’m also chronically ill
Me too.
I hope you can get through it
I am sorry to hear that. I hope you find peace soon. Best wishes.
Forest Que I am so so sorry love. I am a nurse of over 30 years. I hope you have access to help. Be patient and kind to yourself. ❤️❤️❤️
I got Fibromyalgia as a result of chronic stress and anxiety. Your flight or fight adrenaline is on overdrive constantly and results in the body breaking down and that’s how you get an autoimmune disease.
The whole time I was watching this I just wish I could give her the warmest, most comforting hug and help her feel better! 💔
She’s a beautiful woman and did so much for us. She deserves the world 🖤
Thank you for choosing to be vulnerable so that others can find strength through you
Took her so much strength and courage to get to this point. A true inspiration.
I truly appreciate her for saying this. Mental Health needs to be discussed and not shamed!! Dealing with Depression is not fun and so many(including myself) are hurting and yet are made to feel shame about it. It's a physiological issue! If someone had Cancer you wouldn't shame them for it. Be kind to everyone around you, you never know what someone is dealing with!! Just when you think someone has it all, you find out otherwise.
I agree with you about this completely. I've been labeled every bad thing in the book just because I have Bipolar, ADHD, Anxiety, Insomnia, and possibly PTSD. Plus those are just my mental health issues and none of my physical health issues!
Manic Mama Hippo What trauma have you experienced that resulted in PTSD? Sometimes ppl confuse PTSD and CPTSD which is complex PTSD caused by long-term psychological or emotional trauma.
This is 2 yrs old but it still breaks my heart to hear the disconnect from some of the people in the crowd. They were laughing at inappropriate times- they must not have been listening carefully. She is so amazing! She has been vulnerable and has put herself out there for some who cannot. She is the one of the most caring, thoughtful, and loving woman in Hollywood (IMO- of course). What a beautiful person!
Ugh no one should EVER have to feel that they are responsible for what SOMEONE ELSE did to them, breaks my heart🥺
She really just quoted herself, I C O N I C.
if she were a pastor, i'd go to her church Every sunday
its called satanic church
If you go to a church you come for Jesus and not for a person..
satanic church
@@JasonChowTV The real satans are the ones to judge someone without knowing who they really are.
She could cure mental illness herself
Besides everything else can we just appreciate how beautiful she is
Justin Kendle then go do it nobody’s stopping you ✌🏼
What if she wasn't beautiful? Would she still be important?
That's literally the opposite of the point of this whole speech??
pale star 8 no
Natalie Rowatt so
Whoever disliked this has no heart. Period.
I disliked cause I know she's a fraud kids are victim of lady gaga and the other lucifarians connected to her
I am a 60 year old man who grew up with classic rock music and heavy metal. Just in the last 6 months, I have really become a fan of Lady Gaga s music and I started with her early pop music, not the newer "grown up" stuff. Now I see her as a great actress also.
@MsPark dude music is subjective, if it's not ur thing then don't listen and doesn't mean it's bad becoz I'm telling u her songs are better than other pop stars her age. And her songs are her art and have deep meanings. So don't judge if u haven't even listen to ALL her songs not just the singles u always hear on the radio.
@ cave: Anyways, what's ur fave album so far Born this way is really great album and very inspiring especially hair and marry the night of course Born this way, The fame Monster is also great. Speechless is abt her dad.. each song represents Gaga's fears. And speechless is fear of death coz of her dad not wanting to undergo heart surgery that time but then he did. :)
It’s great she touched both mental healthy and sexual abuse because both can go hand in hand, and both people pretend don’t exist. They’re really big issues we need more awareness to! People are too scared to come forward saying someone hurt them, that they are hurting. We need more voices coming forward, and we need to defeat all those negative people saying we’re lying or it isn’t real.
I have ptsd this moved me so much
she has no doubt been thru so much especially with all the rituals stuff she did in the music industry
Couldn’t have said this any better!
E S
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve watched this so many times, and I still can’t get enough of it. One of the best speeches given of all time, and she mentions so many vital topics here. YAS, GAGA!!!
Being someone who personally has never been through this, I completely understand and feel every inch of pain y’all have gone and are still going through. I hope u find it in yourself to realize how much of an amazing and brave person you are to stay as strong as you have been or how strong your about to become.
When Lady Gaga says "I have my heart to give to you" that was genuine. Her story touches so many of us and I'm grateful for her being part of this most important fight! Thank you Lady Gaga!
a legend in her own right
Wtf is gaga on here?
Such a beautiful beautiful soul. She’s so genuine. She taught me I liked girls when I was just a little girl. Now being able to understand her she is so far beyond the nasty things our world conveys.
oh my goodnesss..... i just shed a tear, i am in the same shoes Lady G. i was 20yrs when it happened i never told anyone until 2018. for a full 22yrs i was carrying a burden so heavy. listening to you makes it even lighter on my side. God bless you superwoman
😭😭😭
Lady Gaga leaves me speechless everytime... We don't deserve her
Juan Camilo Angarita Yes we do... we all do! That’s her message is to love ourselves and each other, raise each other up.
She is the voice we need like medicine. She speaks from her heart and inspires. I'm grateful for her voice ; )
"Speechless"
stream speechless by lady gaga
@Mike Hawk Not really TBH
Wow, great speech, I am a survivor of domestic violence, I am speaking up for the first time, I took my power back, no more abuse.....healing...love & light
I had no idea Lady Gaga was such a fearless powerhouse truth teller, wow you have a new fan and supporter my dear
I loved her when I was in 9th Grade because she was a performer. Now I love her even more coz she is an icon and a inspiration
Gaga for president 2020
Beautyful ASMR how ridiculous
Beautyful ASMR you’re so beautiful, just like your profile name haha.💛
that's litteraly what I was thinking!xD but seriously though, she has a major way with words and I feel as if she actually would be a GREAT president.
that would be amazing and convince Canada to stop child euthanasia cause of there mental illness at a young age
yea its happening Open your eyes
Even as a huge gaga fan she keeps surprising me with how much she's grown. I lost track of time listening to her speech.
ALDIJUEDEtv me too! I’ve enjoyed watching her grow these past 10 years that I’ve been a LiL Monster!!! 💖💘
I’ve looked up to her since I was 8 , she’s a saviour in so many forums . Used to get through my years of child abuse listening to the fame over and over again . As someone who’s enjoyed music she’s inspired me on so many levels . I hope to meet her or work with her one day ❤️
The way she conveyed her message was so beautiful. I’m so emotional, truly the best human on earth.
protect her at all costs.
Lady Gaga is the hero we don't deserve, but desperately need right now.
The MMonster You said everything. It’s a blessing her existence!
Lady Gaga took the words out of my heart and mouth. Thank you!
Another thing I will say about kindness...to all the parents out there, be kind to your kid. When you hurt your kids, whether it is emotionally through your words or physically through your "discipline," you are teaching them that YOU cannot be trusted. So when something like sexual assault happens to the child, often times they don't feel like they can be open with you. So if you want to protect your kids, foster a loving and open environment in your home so they know they can talk to you about anything.
i cried thru her entire speech, she has poured out all her passionate words to help empower those who were abused, sexually, and mentally. I don’t know how much I could thank her enough because I was a victim of mental illness. It’s personal, that once happened when I was in middle school, I had faced depression and schizophrenia. I have high hopes that communities will hit forward to make our youth stronger against all odds. ❤️ ⭐️ 💫
I applaud her bravery ...for speaking for all of us on mental illness .I've struggled my whole life ...and always felt very alone ....this is a serious issue ...
Thank you lady gaga YOU ARE MY HERO .
.
Me too .I feel like a loner
A star is born? I don't think so.... A LEGEND is born!!!! That's what I think😀😀😀
I second that. She is incredible.
a legend is born? I don't think so.... A SKINNY LEGEND is born!!!!
Very true
A year later, I'm watching it again 🖤
Wow she sounds like a different person. Shes amazing. I'm truly so happy for her. What an intelligent young lady. She looks lovely. + Awwwww God bless you Lady Gaga. Awesome speech. So honest and vulnerable. Im so glad she could try to be herself for once. How brave. God bless her always. We stand with you Lady Gaga I never knew it must have been crazy all the me too thing and knowing what had happened to her. Aghast. Exactly. So well done Lady Gaga. God bless you child +++
Lady Gaga started to become my favorite artist of all time last year & she still is! She is precious. Love her so much!
Millions of people have watched how to perfect the Smokey eye, yet only 300,000 viewed this speech. Do I believe there is something wrong in this world? Hell yes!!!!!! Especially with this attitude of women constantly competing with other women. If we would view each other as sisters and unite, I know great things would happen! It's all just so sad.....
We need to recognise ALL. Women and men alike, as our sisters and brothers. And accept them, treat them, and teach them Love and Light. Only then is there geniune unity.
I think everyone who has seen this Lady Gaga speech and was inspired by it, should share it far and wide, especially with the young women in their lives. I literally sobbed through it. Such beautiful, powerful words of inspiration. I sadly can relate to what she went through, and I still suffer from it too. Till It Happens To You was a revelation. Thank you, Lady Gaga!
Gloria Steinem has been saying words to that effect for decades.
Oh yeah I feel as though this world is going to hell in a hand basket for sure I don’t understand us as humans. I mean I know escapism is real for us like we feel the need to escape our daily lives hence CZcams but we can no longer be silent not when there is violence on both sides and sexual hate or shaming others for being human beings all of this shit is fucking 🖕🏿gross to me. 😑😑😑😑😒😑😑🤷🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
My husband died from suicide last year. I love this once woman. Please let’s all try to change the world together , as the lyrics of one of her songs says ‘till it happens to you, you don’t know how it feels’
I literally teared up within the first minute of this speech. So beautiful. I want to meet Gaga during my lifetime. I’m lucky to be existing the same time as this angel. She has changed my life ❤️
The suit looked like it was swallowing her, but by the end it looked small and insignificant. Keep up the words about pain and depression. You speak and it echoes, allowing us who deal with this the chance to get through to people who wouldn't listen. A celebrity can't change the world alone, but they can give the people the power to. I think anyone who has served our country deserves these words: Thank you for your service.
I have never felt so much magnetic draw towards someone through a computer screen, she is so so so so beautiful inside and out
I feel pain in her words
I feel itt
She says what my heart says😞
"...nobody help me..."
Ouch!!! That's so much pain to take😔
I admire how she gets up again and again despite her many setbacks and carry on.
Thank you Gaga for this wonderful and reached message.❤👍
That is the definition of strength, leadership and success imo
She's a very soulful and smart person.
In one night I watched all her songs available on YT. I’m not sleeping-I’m watching all her other videos as well. At 8, a boy, I was sexually assaulted and when I told one of my friends he said “ people tell themselves stories!” I didn’t say anything but went to hid my pain and regretted why I even told that to the guy who didn’t believe: Now, 21, and it doesn’t go a way! I sometimes breakdown but one day I will be a star too from the other side of the world. Thank you lady Gaga u’re inspiring from thousands of miles a way.
I was crying during all the speech
This make me crying so hard. I have watched this speech and your Stephen Colbert interview over and over again this past week. I cannot say enough how much hearing this is everything for me. For the longest time I have never realized that I had a sexual assault when I was very very young. I don’t even remember that for the longest time. When I’ve never considered myself to be one of the victim. I brained just shutdown that part of the memory off for the longest time. And suddenly last week one name has been mentioned and I totally forgot about the person that even exists in the world maybe cos my memory block that part out. And all the memories were pouring back to me and now I actually don’t know what to do. I couldn’t sleep or eat or focus for a week now couldn’t function really. All these part weeks I have been watching you (Gaga) watching all your performances/ all your interviews/ all your inspirations for everybody in this world) make me feel better. I actually would like to go to see a psychologist unfortunately I don’t think there is any in my city. If I want to go to the psychologist I have to go to Bangkok (I am in a small town in Thailand)........ I don’t know what to said I told a good friend of mine who is a man and I don’t think he understands me at all and he kept asking all these questions and make me very uncomfortable then my body started to shut down and I don’t wanna speak to anyone about anything after that..... your are my inspiration, you are hero ! Thank you for everything you are fighting for ........ thank you lady Gaga
Chatraporn Tamthong I hope you are strong.
Big hugs to you. xoxoxoxo
Keep being strong! If you want someone to talk to, you can talk to me! I understand you! Hugs and kisses ❤❤❤
There are online psychiatrists and therapists. I hope you find someone to talk to! I wish you the best, healing and peace in your life. and Hopefully justice.
I am so sorry this has happened to you. I hope you’ve found a therapist. They help because they don’t look at you with judgement. I have friends to some I have told my story but they couldn’t understand me. I told my ex boyfriend it was a relief yet he separated from me and moved on with his life. That’s how I found trust and saved money to go to a psychologist. Never in my life would I have thought to go there. My family is not supportive of it. And they don’t know my story. But man it feels good to talk. And to actually release the whole stress that is on my shoulders and in my chest. I can only hope and wish you the very best in your life. Allow yourself to feel, to breathe and to heal. Write about it, paint your feelings. Just release all the pain you have held inside you. I don’t know you but I wish you to love yourself. ❤️
A true inspiration❤
Sooooo booooring
@@fullup91 YOUR IGNORANCE MURDERER HUNDREADS OF PEOPLE.
Calm the fuck down...
It's women like you that inspire me to endure . Your overwhelming love and kindness shines like a bright star. Thank you kindly & much love ❤️💐
Her vision is my vision. A world that is kind to others. We are all human beings who go through something at some point. We need strength each other. It is possible. Anyone who has been sexually assaulted or traumatized in any way, I believe in you. Thank you lady Gaga for giving me hope. I legit bawled.
Shes been through so many horrible things and she can still stand in her fabulous suit and speak about being strong and powerful. You go Lady Gaga!
I wouldn't be alive today from suicide and depression without this woman in the world❤
