Piers Morgan and Lady Gaga feud over PTSD, rape
Following a slew of tweets concerning the validity of Lady Gaga’s recent admission of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Piers Morgan may have to put his money where his mouth is.
The British journalist engaged in a social media confrontation with the “Perfect Illusion” singer on Tuesday following his comments questioning Lady Gaga’s claims about suffering from PTSD and sexual assault.
“It is a daily effort for me, even during this album cycle, to regulate my nervous system so that I don’t panic over circumstances that to many would seem like normal life situations,” Gaga recently wrote about her condition. “Examples are leaving the house or being touched by strangers who simply want to share their enthusiasm for my music.”
The 30-year-old pop star also recently praised Madonna for opening up about her own experience with rape during the 2016 Billboard Women in Music event.
Following Morgan’s controversial tweets, Gaga quickly attempted to set the record straight, mentioning her advocacy work with Vice President Joe Biden and offering to speak to the 51-year-old television personality in person.
Morgan then went on to ask Gaga if she could “handle” him, to which the singer responded, “Yes Mr. Morgan, I can handle u. Surprised you would question that. Was that the 1st question of our interview?”
While no interview has been officially announced or scheduled, fans are already eagerly awaiting the sit-down. For more on Gaga’s experience with PTSD, watch the clip below.
