The 55-year-old singer opened up about the horrific incident in a guest column of the November issue of Harper's Bazaar.

"New York wasn't everything I thought it would be. It did not welcome me with open arms. 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," Madonna said.
