Lady Gaga provided one of the most powerful moments of Sunday's Oscars ceremony when she was joined onstage by a group of sexual assault survivors as she performed her Academy Award-nominated song, "Til It Happens to You." The song, co-written by Diane Warren, is featured in the college rape documentary, The Hunting Ground.
The performance has inspired some to share their own story of sexual assault and survival, including actress Jaime King and Bachelor alum Jade Roper.
Roper, 29, shared her story in an emotional blog post on Monday, opening up about an experience at a high school party when she was "just shy of my 17th birthday."
"As I am writing this, my heart is beating fast, hard against my chest, almost irregularly. I've only shared my story with but a few, not even my family knows," she wrote. "But when I saw GaGa fill the whole room with emotion as she sang with conviction and urgency, as I saw survivors of sexual assault bravely stand up there showing the world that what happened to them does matter, tears streamed down my face."
