The 'Million Reasons' hitmaker is willing to sit down with the British journalist after he doubted her claims that she has suffered from PTSD after she was raped as a teenager.

• Dec 14, 2016

AceShowbiz - Lady GaGa and Piers Morgan have been engaged in a debate on Twitter over his skepticism about GaGa's PTSD claims. The singer recently opened up on "Today" about her struggle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after she was raped at the age of 19, but the British journalist doubted it.

He first responded to GaGa's story by posting on Twitter, "No, soldiers returning from battlefields do. Enough of this vain-glorious nonsense," adding, "I come from a big military family. It angers me when celebrities start claiming 'PTSD' about everything to promote themselves." He also said that GaGa and Madonna's allegations of rape should not be trusted without "proper criminal investigation."

No.

Lady Gaga & Madonna have both made ALLEGATIONS of rape many years after the event.

No police complaint, no charges, no court case. https://t.co/N8oWjcMKAC

I don't think all claims of rape should be necessarily accepted as fact without proper criminal investigation, do you? https://t.co/ogFjSUmgTU

I wouldn't automatically believe anything either Madonna or Lady Gaga claimed about their lives. https://t.co/4JJcP17cjp

GaGa later took to her own Twitter account to respond to Morgan's tweets. "@piersmorgan I've work w/ our VP Joe Biden on helping educate people about why women don't report, would love to share it w/ you some time," she wrote.

OK, you're on.

Let's do an interview about this & you can tell me why I'm wrong to be sceptical. https://t.co/CFLOL06Emq

Morgan agreed, suggesting that they sit down for an interview to settle it. "OK, you're on. Let's do an interview about this & you can tell me why I'm wrong to be sceptical," he posted. GaGa replied, "Let's do that & yes Mr. Morgan, I can handle u. Suprised you would question that. Was that the 1st question of our interview?"

@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.

@piersmorgan if anyone in your family suffers from it, I pray they have more good days than bad. It has affected me & my whole family.����

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

This interview would air worldwide.
