7 times Lady Gaga got REAL in her new Netflix documentary

The second mention of Kinney comes towards the end of the documentary when Gaga does an interview with Beats 1 radio host Zane Lowe, who mistakes her engagement for a marriage saying: "The public announcement that your marriage is breaking up and you've got to go make a record."

Gaga is quick to correct him, saying: "Well, engagement. Let's not say marriage. But yeah. Very painful. It's hard enough when love isn't working out the way you want it to, and you've got to walk down the street and have somebody go, 'Are you OK?'

Lowe also asks what has been happening with her in the past five years to which she responds candidly admitting that she has struggled with anxiety, body pain, paranoia, drug and alcohol abuse.

We're then shown a blank screen and Gaga's sobbing voice as she says: "I just want to make music and make people happy, and, like, I'm on tour and I have a family and I just can never get it all right at the same time. I always have a shoot ... My love life's imploded."

Gaga addresses her long-standing feud with Madonna in the documentary, explaining that the pop legend has never directly confronted her about the problem she has. Instead, she had to find out about it through the media.

"The thing with me and Madonna, for example, is that I admired her always. I still admire her, no matter what she might think of me,"she said. "The only thing that really bothers me about her is that I'm Italian and from New York. So if I have a problem with somebody, I'm going to fucking tell you to your face.

"No matter how much respect I have for her as a performer, I could never wrap my head around the fact that she wouldn't look me in the eye and tell me I was reductive or whatever."

Guess they won't be making up anytime soon then.

Throughout the documentary, we're shown Gaga's struggle with chronic body pain and the hip she broke during her Born This Way tour. In the opening scene of the documentary, the star is getting a massage in her Malibu home and explains to the camera that when she gets depressed, her body goes into a full-body spasm - something which has kicked in as a result of her broken hip and is the reason she recently postponed the European leg of her Joanne tour.

Gaga's battle with fibromyalgia (a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body) is a recurring theme in the documentary as we witness her physical pain in a number of scenes. The most distressing one is a moment where she breaks down in tears on a sofa due to the severe pain she's going through minutes before she is expected to perform at Tony Bennet's birthday party.

"I just think about other people that have maybe something like this that are struggling to figure out what it is, and they don't have the money to have somebody help them," she says while sobbing. "Like, I don't know what I'd fuckin' do if I didn't have everybody here to help me. What the hell would I do? ... Do I look pathetic? I'm so embarrassed."

Even on the day of rehearsal for her Super Bowl 51 halftime show performance, she has to pause and screams into a pillow as someone works on her hip. "I have chased this pain for five years," she reveals while sitting in a doctor's officer later on.

Over the course of the documentary, we're shown Gaga in the studio with producers Mark Ronson, Bloodpop and other members of her team during the making of Joanne.

It's clear that she has a strong relationship with Ronson and trusts him with her vulnerability...

"So many men in my life - in business and also that I've dated over the years - I just started to feel like what I was on my own wasn't good enough. And I don't feel that way working with Mark," she says.

Following a studio session, she says: "When producers, unlike Mark [Ronson], start to act like they're the - like, you know, 'You'd be nothing without me!' For women, especially, those men have so much power that they can have women in a way that no other men can. Whenever they want, whatever they want. ... And then I walk in the room, and it's like eight times out of 10, I'm put in that category. And they expect from me what those girls have to offer when that's just not at all what I have to offer in any way."

She then explains how she rebels against those men who objectify her by "always fuckin' putt[ing] some absurd spin" on the sexiness they expect from her. "So, you know what, if I'm going to be sexy at the VMAs and sing about the paparazzi, I'm going to do it while I'm bleeding to death," she said. It makes her feel in control.

"I never felt comfortable enough to sing and just be this way, now," she says. "To just sing, wear my hair back. I never felt pretty enough or smart enough or a good enough musician. That's the good part. The good part is that I just didn't feel good enough, and I do now. I know I deserve - of all the things I deserve, that is where I know I'm worth something so I have to stay there."

"I can see now. I don't need to have a million wigs on and all that shit to make a statements," Gaga says.

Following her break-up, Gaga admits that she's unlucky in love and opens up about her loneliness.

"It’s a sad day when I’m doing the Super Bowl and I can’t help but realise that when I sold 10 million records, I lost Matt. I sold 30 million, I lost Luke. I get the movie, I lose Taylor, it’s like a turnover. This is the third time I’ve had my heart broken like this," she says. "I’m alone every night. All these people will leave. They will leave and I’ll be alone. And I go from everyone touching me all day, and talking to me all day, to total silence."
