A Terrible Poker Face. Posted on November 12, 2009. What I find so interesting about pantsphobic chanteuse is how she holds up to some of her contemporaries. Woman shows poker hand.

Lady Gaga has pretty much been on top of the world since hitting it big with 'Just Dance' in 2008, but it hasn't been an easy ride for the eccentric songbird. The singer, born Stefani Joanne Germanotta, seems much more of a tortured artist than a pop queen. Behind the crazy costumes and booming voice, Gaga has suffered through a lot.

Mother Monster had to overcome her past before she topped the charts and changed the music world forever, and she's made a mission of raising awareness of all of the issues that she's had to conquer. Here are just some of the tragic things we've learned about the A Star Is Born superstar's struggles with fame and beyond — and how she's coped with them and helped others along the way.

Lady Gaga hid her sexual assault for years

Lady Gaga revealed to Howard Stern in 2014 (via Billboard) that she was sexually assaulted by a music producer when she was a teenager. A year later, she expounded on the trauma she'd suffered, telling press (via Us Weekly), 'I didn't tell anyone for, I think, seven years. I didn't know how to think about it. I didn't know how to accept it. I didn't know how not to blame myself, or think it was my fault. It was something that really changed my life. It changed who I was completely.'

Gaga channeled the tragic experience for 'Til It Happens To You,' a song she co-wrote with Dianne Warren, about surviving sexual assault for the 2015 film The Hunting Ground. She explained to The Los Angeles Times that the song's acclaim was bittersweet for her. 'Every time I listen to it, I cry,' she said. 'Every time I get a text about it, I always feel sick. It's like this thing you don't want to face.'

Lady Gaga suffered PTSD and suicidal thoughts

Lady Gaga has suffered from mental illness as a result of her traumatic sexual assault. She first revealed her struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the Today show in 2016, but opened up about it further in 2018 in a speech at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's Patron of the Artists Awards.

'I began to notice that I would stare off into space and black out for seconds or minutes. I would see flashes of things I was tormented by, experiences that were filed away in my brain with 'I'll deal with you later' for many years because my brain was protecting me, as science teaches us,' Gaga said in her speech (via Variety). 'These were also symptoms of disassociation and PTSD and I did not have a team that included mental health support.' She added that the condition 'later morphed into physical chronic pain, fibromyalgia, panic attacks, acute trauma responses and debilitating mental spirals that have included suicidal ideation and masochistic behavior.'

Gaga's struggles with mental health led her to launch her Born This Way Foundation, and she also spoke out about mental health awareness at the 2019 Grammys.

Lady Gaga's collaboration with R. Kelly has tragic roots

Lady Gaga collaborated with R. Kelly in 2013 for 'Do What U Want (With My Body),' and the disturbing music video for the track — directed by Terry Richardson, who was accused of sexual misconduct — was scrapped before its release. Kelly was famously accused for years of sexual misconduct and sexual assault and is now facing court charges. After the Surviving R. Kelly docuseries aired on Lifetime in early 2019, many called for Gaga to address working with the alleged predator while being an advocate for sexual assault survivors.

She finally revealed what her motive was in a tweet, writing, in part, 'I stand behind these women 1000%, believe them, know they are suffering and in pain, and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously. What I'm hearing about the allegations against R. Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible.'

She continued, 'As a victim of sexual assault myself, I made both the song and video at a dark time in my life, my intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn't processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life. ... I think it's clear how explicitly twisted my thinking was at the time.' She apologized to the world and removed the song from streaming services.

There's a chance Lady Gaga will develop lupus

Lady Gaga revealed in June 2010 that she had a family history of lupus and that tests had her as 'borderline positive' for the disease, despite the fact that she wasn't showing any active symptoms in the time. Gaga explained (via CNN), 'Lupus is in my family, and it is genetic. And it's so funny because my mother told me the other day that my fans were quite worried about me because they did talk about the fact that I was tested for lupus. ... So as of right now ... I do not have it. But I have to take good care of myself.'

Symptoms of lupus, an autoimmune disease, can include fatigue, a low fever, joint pain, swelling, rashes, hair loss, and inflammation, but the illness can lie dormant for years with no symptoms at all. Experts told CNN that Gaga's test results are common for those who have a relative with lupus, but that it's possible (and hopeful) that she may never actually develop the disease.

Lady Gaga battled drug addiction

As a result of her tragic life experiences, Lady Gaga turned to self-medicating. In November 2013, Gaga admitted that she was addicted to marijuana, telling The Elvis Duran Z100 Morning Show (via Yahoo!), 'I was smoking up to 15, 20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco. I was living on a totally other psychedelic plane, numbing myself completely. ... I had to stop.'

She also told the radio show how she then went 'from substance to substance,' experimenting 'heavily over the past seven years.' Her substance abuse was especially bad during her Born This Way Ball tour, during which she suffered a debilitating hip injury that forced her to scrap most of the dates. 'I was just in a lot of pain and really depressed all the time and not really sure why,' Gaga confessed, adding that she 'did a lot of drugs and took a lot of pills' to cope.

She also admitted in a 2011 interview with Howard Stern (via EW) that she suffered from cocaine addiction before she hit it big. 'I did it all alone in my apartment while I wrote music,' she said. 'And you know what? I regret every line I ever did. ... Don't touch it. It's the devil.'

Eating disorders have tormented Lady Gaga all her life

Lady Gaga revealed in February 2012 that she battled the eating disorders bulimia and anorexia since she was 15 years old. 'I used to throw up all the time in high school. ... I wanted to be a skinny little ballerina but I was a voluptuous little Italian girl whose dad had meatballs on the table every night,' she said, according to Page Six. 'It's really hard, but ... you've got to talk to somebody about it.'

Gaga admitted that her bulimia was so severe that it did a number on her voice, explaining, 'The [stomach] acid [from vomiting] on your vocal cords — it's very bad. But for those of you who don't sing, you maybe don't have that excuse until it's too late. It's very dangerous.'

Later that year, Gaga launched the 'Body Revolution' page on her Little Monsters website (via The Hollywood Reporter). In an effort to 'inspire bravery,' she posted 'un-retouched photos of herself in bra and underwear and a message about her past struggles with eating disorders'. After her fans followed her lead, posting revealing images of themselves and detailing their own struggles with body image, Gaga thanked them for helping her 'create a safe space online for people to be compassionate.' In a note to those fans (via Rolling Stone), she wrote, 'My weight/loss/gain since I was child has tormented me. No amount of help has ever healed my pain about it. But YOU have.'

There is a tragic side of fame for Lady Gaga

Despite having millions of admiring Little Monsters all over the world, Lady Gaga struggles with crippling loneliness exacerbated by her fame. Ahead of the release of Lady Gaga: Five Foot Two (2017), she wrote an open letter, describing her conflicting emotional state over the tragic irony. 'For me, it feels very unnatural, but complicated because I know it is my destiny to be a performer,' she wrote. (In a heartbreaking moment in the film, she describes going from seeing gaggles of fans to being 'alone' in 'total silence' at night.)

Gaga echoed the sentiment a year later when promoting A Star Is Born (2018), revealing to The Los Angeles Times that substance abuse can be an all-too-easy remedy for entertainers who also feel the same void. 'It's very lonely being a performer. There's a certain loneliness that I feel, anyway — that I'm the only one that does what I do,' she said. 'So, it feels like no one understands. And the urge to use is because you're searching for a way to quell the pain.'

Lady Gaga suffers from chronic pain

A big takeaway from the 2017 documentary Lady Gaga: Five Foot Two was the singer's struggle with chronic pain due to fibromyalgia. According to CNN, complications from condition led to Gaga either postponing or cancelling tour dates in 2017 and 2018.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition with symptoms including nerve and muscle pain, trouble sleeping, headaches, face and jaw pain, digestive issues and fatigue, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as mental distress, trouble concentrating, and memory problems. While its causes aren't known, fibromyalgia has been loosely linked to PTSD, and is said to often 'co-occur' with lupus , both of which Gaga has publicly battled.

Gaga opened up about her condition further to Vogue in October 2018, explaining, 'I get so irritated with people who don't believe fibromyalgia is real. ... It's really a cyclone of anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and panic disorder, all of which sends the nervous system into overdrive, and then you have nerve pain as a result. ... Chronic pain is no joke. And it's every day waking up not knowing how you're going to feel.'

Thankfully, at the time of the Vogue interview, Gaga was on the mend: 'It's getting better every day, because now I have fantastic doctors who take care of me and are getting me show-ready.'

A tragic loss inspired Lady Gaga's performance in A Star Is Born

Lady Gaga's emotional performance as Ally in A Star Is Born was partially inspired by real-life tragedy. One of Gaga's best friends, Sonja Durham, died after a long battle with cancer while Gaga was on set in May 2017 for the award-winning 2018 remake. She told Zane Lowe For Apple Music that the final scene of the movie was particularly difficult to shoot due to the heartbreaking timing.

'On that day ... her friend called me and I could hear [Durham] moaning in the background and she said she's not doing well,' Gaga said. So, she 'left the set' without even telling co-star and director Bradley Cooper where she was going, but she missed seeing her friend alive for the last time by just 10 minutes. After spending time with Durham's family, Gaga recalled, '[Her husband] said, 'You've gotta do what Sonja would want you to do.' She loved being a performer, and she loved working in music. She gave me a tragic gift that day and I took it with me when I went back to set, and I sang that song for Jackson [Maine] and for her ... on that very same day within an hour.'

Six months after Durham's passing, Gaga posted a tribute video to her YouTube page (screenshot above) with the caption, 'Not a day goes by that I don't miss you.'

Lady Gaga's aunt Joanne also had a tragic life

The tragic events of Lady Gaga's early life — from her health struggles to her sexual assault — bear an uncanny parallel to those suffered by her late aunt, Joanne Germanotta, who inspired her 2016 album Joanne. Gaga revealed at the Producers Guild Awards in January 2016 when she performed 'Til It Happens To You,' '[Sexual assault is] not only an important issue to me, but it's an important issue to my family because when my father's sister was in college, she was sexually assaulted. Then it tormented her so emotionally that it caused the lupus that she had to get so bad that she died. My father was 16, and it affected my family really tremendously my whole life. That's one of the centerpieces of our family.'

Speaking with V Magazinein August 2017, Gaga claimed her aunt Joanne, who she described as 'a painter ... a writer and a poet,' died from the disease in 1974 — although at the time, her cause of death was unexplained. Towards the end of her life, Joanne's symptoms were so severe that doctors contemplated amputating her hands. Describing Joanne's passing as 'the center of the pain in my family,' Gaga said that the tragedy is the reason '[she] must live every day as if it was [her] last.'

Did Lady Gaga's love life suffer because of her success?

In her documentary, Lady Gaga: Five Foot Two (2017), Gaga lamented (via People), 'My love life has just imploded. I sold 10 million [records] and lost Matt. I sold 30 million and lost Luc. I did a movie and lose Taylor. It's like a turnover.' Gaga was referring to ex-boyfriends Matthew Michael Williams and Luc Carl, and ex-fiance Taylor Kinney (pictured above).

Carl confessed in a 2012 interview with Blackbook (via PopCrush), 'I'm not the type of guy who can sit on someone else's yacht sipping champagne. Unfortunately, to date someone who is never in the same country, let alone zip code, you had better be rich or be willing to live off of their money. I was neither.'

As for Kinney, Gaga's career was often cited as the main obstacle of their broken engagement. Gaga was somewhat vague herself when asked about the split, telling CBS This Morning (via Page Six) in 2016, 'I think women love very hard. ... Sometimes I don't know that that love is met with the type of dignity that we wish it would be met with. You know, we're not trying to make you less of a man. We just want you to love us as deeply and as wholesomely and as fully as we love you.'

Gaga suffered yet another romantic reversal when her seemingly happy engagement to Christian Carino went kaput in February 2019.

Lady Gaga was in at least two very toxic relationships

Talk about bad romance: Insiders have claimed that at least two of Lady Gaga's former lovers attempted to control the singer, and it didn't end well. Brendan Jay Sullivan, a friend of the chanteuse wrote in his memoir Rivington Was Ours: Lady Gaga, the Lower East Side, and the Prime of Our Lives (via the New York Post) that Gaga actually changed her appearance to try to appease her ex-boyfriend, Luc Carl, dyeing her hair blond, and changing her sound to his liking. The pal described Carl as both 'inattentive' and controlling, claiming Carl would '[dictate] whom [Gaga] could talk to and where she could work,' but would simultaneously flirt with other women, sometimes even in her presence.

Carl wasn't the only man foolish enough to attempt to control Mother Monster. After splitting from her fiance Christian Carino, sources told Us Weekly that Gaga was 'devastated' by the breakup, and that the Hollywood agent 'infringed on her creative process.' He also was rumored to have been a stage-five clinger. A source told the outlet that Carino 'didn't treat Gaga very well' near the end of their relationship in 2019, and that he was constantly hounding her because he was insecure and jealous — two qualities that don't make for a healthy relationship with one of the biggest stars on the planet.

The Real Tuesday Weld are a British band, founded by lead singer and producer Stephen Coates in 1999. They have released six albums, many singles, and EPs and many tracks on compilations. Their combination of big-band jazz era sounds with electronica and vintage-style animations has been influential on the current range of electro swing artists and DJs.^[1]

The band is named after American film actress Tuesday Weld. Coates once had a dream involving Weld and 1930s vocalist Al Bowlly and cites it as inspiration for the band's particular style.

At present, the band is signed to Crammed (Europe, Australasia, South America) and Six Degrees Records (North America). They have previously released recordings with Antique Beat, Kindercore Records, Dreamy Records, Bambini Records, PIAS Recordings and Motorway Records. A German alt-country band by the name of Tuesday Weld that released an album called Starscene 98 on Glitterhouse Records is not related.

'The Clerkenwell Kid' is often cited as the band's producer / re-mixer but is an alter ego for Coates himself. The 2009 album, 'The Clerkenwell Kid: Live at the End of the World' is an imaginary live recording of a concert on the 'eve of the apocalypse.' The Clerkenwell Kid is also the main character in a London-based mythology that Coates has developed around his love of the city's history and stories.

Their live shows are usually accompanied by visuals in the form of bespoke films and animations.

The band's album The Last Werewolf is a soundtrack to the novel of the same name (2012) by childhood friend Glen Duncan, reprising their joint work on Duncan's novel I, Lucifer (2004).In 2010 – 2011, Coates also co-wrote and produced an album Horseplay as 'Lazarus and the Plane Crash,' a collaboration with Joe Coles of UK cult garage rockers The Guillotines that was released on Antique Beat in 2012. Every year since 2003, the band have released a Christmas EP of songs and spoken word elements.

According to the band's website, for the last few years Coates has been working on scores for indie features, Russian music-related projects, and various arts events but is recording a set of albums for release in 2019.

Film scoring[edit]

The band have worked with many animators and filmmakers, particularly the Russian animator Alex Budovsky and the American animator George Fort on several international award-winning films. Their 'Bathtime in Clerkenwell' cut (from the 'I, Lucifer' album) appears as the soundtrack for Budovsky's innovative multi-award-winning short film of the same title.

Coates has written music for various independent features including Paul Cotter's Bomber and the US indies 'Meeting Spencer' (2009), 'The Suspect' (2013) and Meet Me in Montenegro (2014) as well as the French movie Encore heureux (2016) Directed by Benoit Graffin . He has also written for several documentaries and short films including US cult series 'The Midnight Archive', 'The Man Who Married Kittens' a biopic of anthropomorphic taxidermist Walter Potter, several 'Everyman' programs for BBC 2 and most recently for a series of documentaries made by Amnesty International about the Syrian conflict

The band have had many existing tracks used in films, television shows and commercials. Their song 'I Love the Rain' was used in a commercial for Chevy in 2011. The 2013 Apple iPad commercial featured the piano instrumental 'The Lupine Waltz' from The Last Werewolf album. The song 'Last Words' (from the album 'The London Book of the Dead') is cut throughout and plays over the final scenes of Sony pictures' 2008 film Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by indie cult director Peter Sollett (Raising Victor Vargas).

Other music[edit]

Coates has re-mixed several artists including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, David Byrne and The Puppini Sisters in their burlesque style re-make of 'Crazy in Love' by Beyoncé Knowles. They have collaborated widely with artists including Brazilian electronic chanteuse Cibelle, English nu-folk diva Mara Carlyle, Guillotines vocalist Joe Coles, Martyn Jacques, leader of The Tiger Lillies, Pinkie Maclure and Claudia Brücken of Propaganda and ACT.

In 2007, he was commissioned to write music for the Rothko room at the Tate Modern, London and the band re-scored the surrealist cult film Dreams That Money Can Buy for the British Film Institute.^[2] Other commissioned arts projects include 'Propaganda from the State of Love' at London's Victoria and Albert museum for the 2008 'Cold War Modern' exhibition.

In 2010/2011, he was commissioned to write and produce the original songs for the Rockstar Games title L.A.Noire. The recordings feature the German singer Claudia Brücken of the band Propaganda.

X-Ray Audio[edit]

In 2014, Coates launched The X-Ray Audio Project an initiative to provide a resource of information about 'Roentgenizdat' Soviet bootleg recordings of forbidden music made on used X-Rays in the 1940s and 1950s.^[3] The project archives visual images, information, audio recordings and interviews made during travels in Russia with photographer Paul Heartfield as the basis for a book 'X-Ray Audio: The Strange Story of Soviet Music on the Bone' published in November 2015 by Strange Attractor Press.

The pair have made a short documentary film of the same name with UK organisation The Vinyl Factory and the longer form 'Roentgenizdat' which was awarded the best documentary prize at the Russian Film Festival in London 2017.

They hold multimedia events where Coates tells the story of the Soviet bootleggers and they cut new X-Ray records from live performances as a demonstration of the process involved in the UK, US and Europe working with various musicians including Thurston Moore, Marc Almond and Barry Adamson. Coates delivered a talk on the project at Tedx in Krakow in June 2015.

The project has become a major touring exhibition showing in London, Birmingham, Belfast, Trieste, Moscow, St Petersburg and Tel Aviv. It is due to show in Tokyo in April 2019.

In March 2019, as The Bureau of Lost Culture, Coates and Heartfield cut audio by Massive Attack, Jonsi, Noam Chomsky amongst others onto X-ray for 'The Library of Dangerous Thoughts' project by the University of the Underground^[4]

Broadcasting and other work[edit]

Outside music, Coates has written for various publications and radio and worked with various arts organisations. His label Antique Beat presents the monthly 'Salon for the City' in Westminster and curates various arts events including '32 Londoners' and London Month of the Dead' based around the city's history and mythology.

His involvement with and writing about the tomb of Hannah Courtoy in Brompton Cemetery has encouraged speculation that it contains a working time machine.^[5] He has written for Londonist, The Quietus, Calvert Journal, GARAGE magazine, Collecteurs Magazine and other publications and has narrated voice overs for various animations.

In 2008, he wrote and presented a series of eight radio programs: 'US and THEM: Sounds of Propaganda and the Cold War' on London Arts radio station Resonance 104.4fm. In 2012 he appeared on the Fiona Shaw directed arts project 'Peace Camp' providing a vocal take on Nick Cave's lyrics to the song 'Into my Arms' with A. L. Kennedy

In February 2015, he wrote and narrated an essay for the BBC Radio 3 series Just Juvenilia telling the story of his visit to the underground river Fleet in London, the time he lived in a Buddhist monastery and the circumstances surrounding the forming of The Real Tuesday Weld in the late 1990s.

In November 2015, his publishing company Antique Beat and Earth Recordings released 'Film Music' a three album set of music by the Russian film composer Mikael Tariverdiev, a project Coates had been working since he first heard the composer's music in Moscow in 2011.^[6] In November 2017 a follow up release was made of the complete soundtrack to the Soviet classic comedy of errors 'The Irony of Fate', the score from the TV series 'Olga Sergeevna' was released in October 2017 and the OST for the 1970s Soviet blockbuster series '17 Moments of Spring' was released in November 2018.

In 2018, he wrote and presented a series of five radio programs on London Arts radio station Soho Radio on various subjects related to bootleg music and vinyl culture and currently presents The Bureau of Lost Culture, a monthly show about countercultural themes.

In 2019, he wrote and presented Bone Music, a documentary based around interviews carried out in Russia for an edition of BBC Radio 3's Between The Ears series. The program told the story of an underground culture of forbidden music in cold war era Soviet Union and featured the Russian band Mumiy Troll.^[7]
