Lady Gaga Tells Oprah, “Sometimes I Feel Worthless”
Lady Gaga may be one of the biggest musical sensations in the world, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have her own insecurities.
Gaga sat down with the one and only Oprah Winfrey for an interview that covers her entire life, from being bullied as a kid and its impact on her to her personal call-to-action as a celebrity activist.
Gaga says that sometimes, no matter how much love comes with fame, lasting memories of schoolmates throwing trash at her and called her a “slut,” still haunt her:
“All the praise you receive, something inside of you is scarred by those experiences…Sometimes I feel worthless.”
Gaga said that those experiences are what motivate her to fight bullying so much now that she has the power.
She also told Winfrey that now, her only real fear is the safety of her family and effect her career choices may have on their lives, saying that she, too, wanted a family in the long run:
“I want kids, I want a soccer team, and I want a husband. Well, I’m being superfluous. I don’t want to have one kid. I want to have a few.”
The interview will air this Sunday night on “Oprah’s Next Chapter” on Winfrey’s OWN network. Make sure you don’t miss it, because in Gaga’s words, “Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time.”
