At this year’s Academy Awards, Lady Gaga performed a touching rendition of her Oscar-nominated song, “Til It Happens to You.” Her performance struck a chord with everyone in the audience, as well as people watching from home.
But it seems members of Lady Gaga’s own family were surprised to find out that the singer is a survivor of rape. Although she publicly revealed this fact back in 2014, some of Gaga’s relatives—including her grandmother and her aunt—were unaware of her personal ordeal.
In a sweet post on Instagram, she shared a photo of her grandmother and aunt—the caption details their reactions the day after her performance. While Gaga was long afraid to come to terms with this truth in front of her family, their response is beyond touching.
