For those who had any doubt about the power of Lady Gaga's performance of her song "Til It Happens to You" during Sunday's Oscars ceremony, look no further than this Instagram post from a former contestant on The Bachelor, Jade Roper.
Because it did happen to her.
In a post late Monday evening, Roper praised Gaga's performance and then began to share her own story.
"To be honest, I'm terrified," Roper wrote. "Yet, this is something I felt was put on my heart to write and to share and after all these years allow myself to be free of something I felt I had to hide."
Roper is a former contestant on The Bachelor who was eliminated the same week she revealed she posed for Playboy. She later found love on The Bachelor in Paradise.
