I was Raped As a Teenager: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga revealed to Howard Stern that she was raped as a teenager

 

The singer, who was appearing on Howard Stern's radio show in America, made the claim after being asked the about the meaning of her song Swine.

"I went through some horrific things," she said. "I'm able to laugh now. I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy and emotional therapy to heal over the years.
"I was a shell of my former self at one point... To be fair, I was about 19."

I didn't tell anybody, I didn't even tell myself for the longest time

 

She continued: "I went to Catholic school and then all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?' I was very naive."

Host Howard Stern then suggested that someone had taken advantage of her in her early career.
The 28-year-old replied: "It happens every day and it's really scary, and it's sad.
"It didn't affect me as much as it did about four or five years later.
"I was so traumatized by it that I was like, 'Keep going' because I just had to get out of there.
"I wasn't even willing to admit that anything even happened. I don't want to be defined by it."

Lady Gaga also said that she never confronted the person who did it to her.
"I think it would terrify me. It would paralyze me.
"I saw him one time in a store and I was so paralyzed by fear.
"It wasn't until I was a little bit older that I went, 'Wow, that was really messed up.'
"You were 20 years older than me. I was a kid. It took me a long time to feel strong about it.
"I didn't tell anybody, I didn't even tell myself for the longest time."

 

MY VILLAGE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY INABILITY TO STOP ROBBERY: SUSPECT

A suspected armed robber, arrested by the police in Lagos, has claimed that his family members were responsible for his inability to stop the act.

Punch Metro learnt that the suspect, 28-year-old Emehelu Ndubuisi, was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday, November 19 in the Oshodi area of Lagos.

Ndubuisi, who is married with a child, said he was still standing trial for a robbery case at the Ikeja Magistrates’ Court when he was re-arrested for another robbery.

He said,
“I am standing trial in court for a robbery case. I used to sell motor spare parts at the Ladipo Market, Oshodi. I was initially arrested by the police in February this year, and was charged to the Ikeja Magistrate’s Court. “I was remanded in the Kirikiri Medium Prison for some weeks during which I met one convict, Ogaga. He had spent three years in the prison. He told me some men wanted to sell a stolen vehicle, but I did not listen to him. “After I secured my bail, I went to my village to attend my grandmother’s burial and I noticed some family members were not happy to see me. When I returned from the trip, I did not know how I listened to Ogaga’s advice.”

“I had sworn never to rob again, but my village people are very evil. They must have charmed me with robbery. It was at the point of collecting the stolen vehicle in Lagos that the police re-arrested me.”

WHO declares Spain Ebola-free

Spain is officially free of Ebola, the World Health Organization declared Tuesday, after no new cases were reported since a nurse’s assistant who contracted the virus there tested negative for it.

 

Since then, 42 days have passed — double the maximum known incubation period for the virus — without another case, allowing Spain to be declared free of Ebola.

Spanish authorities had been monitoring 87 people who came into contact with healthcare worker Teresa Romero Ramos, 15 of whom were considered high-risk and were quarantined at a Madrid hospital, WHO said.

Another 145 hospital employees who helped care for Romero during her month-long stay at the Carlos III Hospital were also monitored.

The WHO statement said it “commends Spain for the measures put in place to identify potential cases and prevent further transmission of the Ebola virus.”

Romero contracted the illness while helping to care for an infected missionary who had been brought back from West Africa. He died of the disease.

Kim Kardashian Reveals She Wants Three Kids!

Kim Kardashian has been very open about the fact that she and Kanye West are working on a second child.

They are totally doing it without any kind of protection these days in hopes of giving North West a sibling some time in 2015.

We wish them good-luck anyway!!!

In the latest issue of Elle UK, however, the reality star looks farther beyond that and says she wants to have at least three kids. “I want a boy and another girl; I want it to start happening straight away," Kim says. "I loved being part of a huge family – and I want that for North. We’d do IVF if nothing happens, but we both want to keep trying naturally."

Kardashian adds that a trio of physicians told her back in the day that she’d never get pregnant. She was all set to freeze her eggs when the news about North came along.

She also said it took awhile for her to feel comfortable in her own skin.

"It’s taken me a long time to be happy with my body and for my confidence to grow to what it is today.

"I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford’s. No one looked like me. It’s good to break the mold and recreate one."

Kim credits her late father for writing her a letter when she was 13 years old, telling his daughter that she’s a “wonderful girl” who had to “understand [her] self worth” outside of her body.

"I’m an Armenian girl, I have shape, and it turned out people liked that," Kim says now. "That makes me feel good about myself and about other women for being so supportive. I am a confident woman, but I didn’t just arrive confident – it has built over the years and that is a big part of who I am now."

Finally, Kim heaped praise all over Kendall Jenner.

"I think she will be a huge star,” says Kardashian. “I definitely think she will be bigger than I have ever been."

OMG!!! See 120 Maggots In This Woman's Eye After Fly Laid Eggs In Her Eyes And Nose

According to a report in a Canadian medical journal, a woman who was sick and was being treated in a Canadian hospital had 120 maggots removed from her eyes and nose after fly laid eggs in her eyes and nose..

"During the period, an adult fly (a green blow fly or a green bottle fly) was seen in the intensive care unit. The patient was in a windowless private room that had an open door. The intensive care unit had no windows to the outdoors; thus, it was assumed that the fly had entered the intensive care unit from another part of the hospital. The fly must have left the eggs in her nose and eyelid."

Doctors removed 120 maggots from her eyes and nose. This happened a long time ago - in 2007 - but the images were recently released.

Inhuman Treatment: Woman cuts off housemaid’s finger for a piece of meat in Delta

A woman has reportedly cut off a finger of her 10-year-old maid for stealing a piece of meat from a pot of soup.

The woman, identified as Mama Jennifer, has been arrested for brutalizing the maid, Ndozi, in her restaurant around Akuose New Layout, Ibuso/Asaba axis of Delta State.

The screams of the girl attracted the neighbours, who after rushing to the place, found her in a pool of her blood and after enquiring what happened, it was realised that her madam had chopped off her finger while beating her.

The neighbors immediately rushed the girl to the hospital, while others reported the case to the police and Mama Jennifer was apprehended later in the same day.

The Delta State spokesperson, DSP Celestina Kalu, confirmed the act, saying that the suspect was currently being interrogated by the state CID, and had given them more information on what led to the incident.

“Upon interrogation, she admitted to the inhuman treatment meted out on the maid, adding that she was provoked when it was discovered that the maid stole from the pieces of meat in the Nsala soup leaving her with no option than to chop-off her finger with the knife she was holding. The victim was taken to a private hospital where she is currently receiving treatment.”

Furthermore, Kalu revealed that apart from Mama Jennifer, two other young men participated in beating the girl.

The pair have also been arrested and are presently being detained while investigation continues.

Nollywood actor arrested for kidnap

Operatives of Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FSARS, Adeniji Adele, Lagos, have arrested an upcoming Nollywood actor and gospel musician (names withheld) and two others in connection with the alleged kidnap of a female banker at Mile 2 area of Lagos. 

 
The actor and his alleged partners were said to have kept their victim in an uncompleted building in Mowe, Ogun State for four days, awaiting response from the captives’ family.They were reportedly caught while sharing the ransom.  

Vanguard gathered that the Commissioner of Police in charge of the squad, Mr. Chris Ezike, acting on a tip-off, deployed teams of policemen to the hide-out, where the suspected kidnapers were rounded up and their victim rescued. Police sources said the Enugu State-born 28-year-old actor claimed he was introduced into the act by leader of the gang, whose identity he gave as Jack. He said Jack masterminded the kidnap of the female banker, who was his former boss. He has starred in five home videos: The Eves, Friday Night, Witches Club, Palace Club and Mountain High. He has also released two music albums in 2008 and 2014.

Police sources said:  “The suspects were six in number. But three are on the run and we are on their trail. “During interrogation, the actor said six of them came in a Toyota Corolla car and immediately they saw their target coming out of her Toyota Camry car, they pointed guns at her and drove her to their hideout in Mowe.” He allegedly confessed that himself and Jack drove the victim’s car to Akerele area of Surulere, where they sold it for N250,000. He said he got N100,000, while Jack took the rest.They also sold their victim’s jewellery for N8,000 and her pair of shoes for N3,700.” He also stated that his share of the ransom was N450,000, but did not disclose how much they got, as the bargain was done between Jack and the victim’s family.” One of the suspects reportedly told FSARS operatives that he came from Edo State on invitation by a friend.He said: “A friend invited me to Lagos. All he told me was to watch over the woman and ensure she did not escape from where she was kept. I never knew she was kidnapped. I was tempted by the N350,000 offer.” On his part, the friend, aged 23, said his role was to provide his master’s Toyota Corolla, which was used for the operation, adding that his share of the ransom was N400,000. The suspects, as gathered, have been charged to court for kidnap and robbery.

Must Read: Why She Is Feeling That Way In Bed

Women’s desire for sex is far more complex than previously thought, study says

 

A new study has found that hormones do not drive desire. Instead, a woman’s relationship satisfaction and other psychosocial factors may outweigh any hormonal effects, they say.

The new study conducted in Michigan and 6 other clinical sites across the country found levels of testosterone and other naturally-occurring reproductive hormones play a limited role in driving menopausal women’s sexual function.

While testosterone is the main sex hormone in men, women also have small amounts of it, as ovaries naturally produce testosterone.

Researchers wanted to find out exactly what effect it had on sexual function as women go through menopause.

‘While levels of testosterone and other reproductive hormones were linked to women’s feelings of sexual desire, our large-scale study suggests psychosocial factors influence many aspects of sexual function,’ said John Randolph of the University of Michigan Medical School, who led the study in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

‘A woman’s emotional well-being and quality of her intimate relationship are tremendously important contributors to sexual health.’

Researchers examined data from 3,302 women who participated in the ongoing Study of Women’s Health across the Nation (SWAN) to analyze the relationship between reproductive hormones and sexual function during the menopausal transition.
