Lady Gaga on Kavanaugh testimony: 'One of the most upsetting things I have ever witnessed'
Lady Gaga has said the testimony of Brett Kavanaugh following allegations made by Dr Christine Blasey Ford was "one of the most upsetting things I have witnessed".
Speaking on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the actor shared her thoughts on her new film A Star is Born, as well as the ongoing controversy around Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick.
Asked if she was willing to talk about politics, the pop star responded: "Bring it on."
"I will tell you something," she said. "Should we trust that [Dr Ford] remembered the assault? Yes. And I'll tell you exactly why. She's a psychologist, she's no dummy. And when someone experiences trauma, the brain changes. It takes the trauma and puts it in a box so that we can survive the pain."
Gaga added that she believed Ford was probably "triggered" when she realised Kavanaugh would be nominated, and decided to "protect this country".
Speaking about her new film, she revealed that she was blown away by co-star and director Bradley Cooper's singing voice when she first heard it.
"That man, he sings from his guy, from his soul, and you could be technically perfect, but with no ability to tell a story, and he tells a story when he sings," she said, adding: "I was drawn to his passion."
