Lady Gaga went public with her story of being raped in 2014 but apparently not everyone in her family heard about it. She just revealed that her grandmother and aunt didn’t know she was a survivor until Oscar performance. Gaga wrote in the caption of a family photo she posted on Instagram,

“My grandmother (in the middle) and my Aunt Sheri (on the right) both called me the day after the Oscars because I never told them I was a survivor.”

At the Academy Awards on Sunday night, Gaga performed Til It Happens to You, the Oscar-nominated song, co-written with Diane Warren for The Hunting Ground, a documentary about rape and assault on college campuses. Vice President Joe Biden introduced her performance, and she was joined onstage by other survivors.

Gaga explained in her post that she was “too ashamed. In 2014, she told Howard Stern that an older man took advantage of her and she never confronted him. She wrote in her Instagram post,

“I thought it was my fault for ten yearsThe morning after the Oscars when I talked to my grandmother Ronnie, with tears in her eyes I could hear them welling through the phone she said to me ‘My darling granddaughter, I’ve never been more proud of you than I am today.‘”

Terrible to go through such a thing but coming out about it so publicly must have helped SO many people. Brava Gaga!

Talk about good company when you want the world to listen. THANK YOU JOE BIDEN and family you are a true leader. The kind we need. A photo posted by Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) on Feb 29, 2016 at 2:56pm PST

Tears and hugs, matching tattoos and pictures, storytelling and encouragement. These survivors represented for others all over the world and I was so honored to be up there with them. 50+me= 51 #tilithappenstoyou A photo posted by Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) on Feb 29, 2016 at 4:19pm PST
