NEW YORK DAILY NEWS- Madonna in the November 2013 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. 'I was defiant. Hell-bent on surviving. On making it,' the singer wrote of her early days.
Madonna revealed for the first time how she endured a terrifying knifepoint rape on the roof of a New York City building.
The attack happened shortly after the future Material Girl arrived in Manhattan — and it wasn’t her only traumatic experience.
New York “did not welcome me with open arms,” Madonna, 55, wrote in a candid essay to be published in the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
“The first year, I was held up at gunpoint. Raped on the roof of a building I was dragged up to with a knife in my back.”
Though Madonna does not specify how old she was, the Michigan native arrived in the Big Apple in 1978 — meaning she would be around 20 at the time of the attack.
