Stars who admitted to bullying in childhood: they were brutally abused

Bullying is an unfortunate reality that affects people from all walks of life, even those who are currently in the spotlight. It's easy to think of successful people as confident and famous. However, their path to fame has not always been smooth.

Lady Gaga, Bella Hadid, Henry Cavill and others have faced significant challenges, including bullying in childhood and adolescence. Their stories are a powerful reminder that success often comes through struggle, and even stars are not immune to the darker sides of life.

Lady Gaga

Known for her powerful voice and unique style, Gaga said that memories of being bullied helped her to get closer to her character Ellie in the film A Star Is Born. The woman shared that when she believed in herself and pursued her dreams as a singer and songwriter, Ellie, her character, lacked self-belief due to the harsh realities of the music industry. Gaga drew inspiration from her school days when she faced bullying and ridicule because of her big dreams.
