Lady Gaga To Debate Piers Morgan On PTSD: “There Is A Mental Health Youth Epidemic”
Lady Gaga is taking no prisoners this time around.
The singer has agreed to interview with Piers Morgan about the trauma of PTSD, following a brief Twitter conversation the two had on Tuesday (December 13). Gaga, who has been very vocal about her struggle with PTSD, told the British TV personality “that it’s not just a ‘military’ disorder. There is a mental health youth epidemic.”
Of course, Morgan fired off some patronizing tweets about pressing his “meat suit” for the occasion, to which Gaga said “if you continue to shame me in the process of kindly agreeing to interview w/ u I’ll happily do the interview with someone else.” The British TV personality conceded, noting “If you’re big enough to do this, I’m big enough to play fair too.”
The conversation was sparked after Morgan took to the social media platform on Sunday (December 11) to say that both Gaga and Madonna‘s PTSD and rape claims should be taken with a “pinch of PR salt.”

@piersmorgan would also love to talk with you about PTSD, that it’s not just a “military” disorder. There is a mental health youth epidemic.

I know numerous soldiers with PTSD, it’s a very serious thing. I also know people who claim to have it but clearly don’t. Let’s talk… https://t.co/ZTk5mSZLBt

I rather admire @ladygaga for agreeing to an interview after my criticisms. Should be a fascinating debate. I’ll press my meat suit.
