Lady Gaga Lays Out How the Brain Locks Away Trauma — and Why We Need to Believe Dr. Ford

On Thursday night, Lady Gaga appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote her incredible new role in A Star Is Born. Interestingly enough, though, the two didn't talk a whole lot about the film. After pouring Gaga a nice glass of Rosé, Stephen asked her if she wouldn't mind talking about politics: how does she navigate the current fraught political stratosphere? Gaga seized the opportunity to bring up the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh. Gaga spoke about sexual assault — she's a survivor, too — and how the body absorbs it and locks it away and why we absolutely need to believe Ford.
