Lady Gaga Wears Crazy Clothes Because She Was Bullied at School

So, apparently there is a reason for Lady Gaga's eccentric style: She said she was bullied at school. The "Bad Romance" singer claims she was teased as a teen, and now wears her crazy outfits so people in her former shoes can look at her and not feel bad, or alone. It's for the kids!

She told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: “I want to create a space for my fans where they can feel free, and they can celebrate. I didn't fit in at high school, I wanted to be like Boy George and I felt like a freak. So I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with, and they don't feel alone."

It took Lady Gaga, now 23, years to get over the bullying she suffered but she is now totally comfortable in her own skin and is proud of who she is. She added: “It took a long time for me to be OK with myself. But I want my fans to know that it is OK. Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner."
