Lady Gaga is no stranger to controversy and strong opinions, and apparently that was no different as a child. The singer recently revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that she was teased when she was younger, reports Canoe Jam.

The singer and fashion enthusiast shared the bullying she endured at a convent school in New York, revealing her peers would call her “a slut” and poke fun at her fake tan, hair, makeup choices, and even the way she laughs.

Guess her peers weren’t into the whole catholic moral thing, it being the ‘Catholic school Convent of the Scared Heart’ and all. Gaga shares that her peers were malicious in her youth, and that somedays she didn’t want to go to school at all.

Gaga says: “(They’d say) ‘Your laugh is funny, you’re weird, why do you always sing, why are you so into theatre, why do you do your make-up like that, what’s with your eyebrows?’

“I used to do these really big Evita brows. I used to self-tan, and I had this really intense tan in school, and people would say, ‘Why the f**k are you so orange, why do you do your hair that way, are you a dyke (lesbian)…?’

Gaga is also now amused by the fact that many of the bullies have now gone on quote to say she was ‘popular’ as a child. She seems to think they are doing it to redeem themselves.

“All of those people were bullies.”

Well, in Gaga’s defence, who’s laughing now?

In her new memoir that came out on Tuesday (March 3) the Hannah Montana star writes about her experiences of being bullied in elementary school, according to AccessHollywood.com.

“The girls took it beyond normal bullying. These were big, tough girls,” Miley Cyrus writes in the book. “I was scrawny and short. They were fully capable of doing me bodily harm.”

Cyrus also describes being locked in a bathroom in one of the bullying incidents. “They shoved me in. I was trapped. I banged on the door until my fists hurt. Nobody came,” she continues. “I spent what felt like an hour in there, waiting for someone to rescue me, wondering how my life had gotten so messed up.”

The girls also challenged the Hannah Montana star to a physical fight. “It seemed like Operation Make Miley Miserable was escalating to a new level. More like Operation Take Miley Down,” she writes. “Three girls strutted up and stood towering over me. My stomach churned. I clutched my grilled-cheese sandwich like it was the hand of my best friend”.
