Lady Gaga recently opened up about her struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder caused by sexual assault and previous traumas, all of which Piers Morgan has basically called B.S. Now the two are setting up an interview to debate the merits of Gaga’s claims.

Gaga first revealed that she faces PTSD on a segment for Today in which she visited the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBTQ youth in New York. She followed that up with a letter posted to her Born This Way Foundation website, elaborating on the disorder. Most recently, she thanked Madonna for her “brave and strong” Billboard Women in Music acceptance speech, which touched on issues of feminism, misogyny and more.

Morgan, meanwhile, wasn’t buying any of it. First he responded to Gaga’s PTSD claims, asserting it was “vain-glorious nonsense” and claiming outrage that she would use this to “promote” herself. He went on to state that Gaga and Madonna’s “allegations” of rape are simply that, since they did not file any police reports.

No, soldiers returning from battlefields do.
Enough of this vain-glorious nonsense. https://t.co/WR2ODolv8v

I come from a big military family.
It angers me when celebrities start claiming ‘PTSD’ about everything to promote themselves. https://t.co/IeSiGQkOjb

No.
Lady Gaga & Madonna have both made ALLEGATIONS of rape many years after the event.
No police complaint, no charges, no court case. https://t.co/N8oWjcMKAC
