Ever since dropping her latest record Chromatica, Lady Gaga has been super busy. However, the 34-year-old pop star managed to sneak in some downtime this past Sunday. Taking a break by the pool, Gaga – whose real name is Stefani Germanotta – showed off her fit physique in a stylish zebra print swimsuit with cut-out details.
Gorgeous: Lady Gaga flaunted her fit figure in a low-cut leopard print swimsuit while chilling by the pool with her furry friend on a sunny Sunday. The pop icon completed her look by tying back her vibrant green hair with a pink headband and rocking oversized black sunglasses as she smiled for the camera. Showing off her long legs and curves, she enjoyed the sunshine in her backyard with her French Bulldog companion Gustavo. Adding a nod to her recent album, she captioned the sassy post: ‘Greetings from Chromatica! Hope you’re having a laid-back afternoon!!!!’
The recent social media post follows the singer’s earlier revelation this month about her use of anti-psychotic medication to help manage her brain’s behavior. During a candid conversation with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio, she discussed the benefits of olanzapine, a medication commonly used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In relation to her song “911” from the Chromatica album, she shared that the lyrics were inspired by her personal experience with needing medication to control her brain’s actions. Acknowledging her mental health challenges, she expressed a willingness to address them and the impact they can have on her daily life.
Lady Gaga revealed at Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life In Focus Tour that she started taking medication after experiencing multiple incidents of rape at 19, which led to PTSD. She described having a “psychotic break” during a court deposition, where she felt her brain disconnect and her body react with tingling sensations and fear. She vividly recalled the moment when she slammed her hand down, symbolizing her loss of control. This traumatic experience eventually landed her in the hospital.
Lady Gaga opened up about the intense mental break she went through after a court deposition while speaking with Oprah in January. “It’s hard to put into words, but it’s like initially feeling a tingling sensation all over, then suddenly going numb. Your brain just shuts down and says ‘no more, I can’t deal with this, I don’t want to think or feel,’ and then you just snap,” Lady Gaga explained as she emphatically hit her hand on the table. Oprah chimed in, saying, “You completely lose touch with reality as we know it.” “You’re completely disconnected from what’s happening around you,” Lady Gaga added, describing the terrifying experience of breaking away from the normal perception of reality.
Gaga mentioned that she was initially irritated when a psychiatrist evaluated her. She recounted asking if she could see a “real doctor” instead. The psychiatrist greeted her warmly and asked her to explain what had happened that day, which left her feeling frustrated. Despite being involved in the Born This Way foundation with her mother, Gaga admitted that even she was taken aback by the decision to involve a psychiatrist, highlighting how overwhelmed she was feeling at the time.
Truthful: Since she was a young girl, the celebrity has been transparent about her battles with mental health, never shying away from discussing her struggles.
