Lady Gaga is the latest artist to speak out against Donald Trump. Following several new reports about inappropriate advances the Republican presidential nominee allegedly made to women, Lady Gaga has taken to Twitter and compared their experiences to some of her own.

“Why women are coming forward now: because Trumps words @ debate sent abused women into a panic,” she tweeted. “Check out&trend #WhyWomenDontReport to have a better understanding. For me, it was like re-living it all over again. I applaud these women.”
The singer also thanked First Lady Michelle Obama for speaking about the accusations. “This is not something we can ignore . . . this was not just a lewd conversation, this was not locker room banter,” Obama said in a speech earlier this week. “This was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexually predatory behavior and actually bragging about kissing and groping women.”
“Watching you speak in New Hampshire in tears. You are a true role model and leader,” Gaga tweeted.
