Bebe Rexha recalled several horrifying experiences she had with sexually inappropriate music producers in a recent interview.

I felt like I was going to get raped, she said of one encounter.

On Monday, the Last Hurrah singer recalled the sexual misconduct she endured during her rise to fame in an interview published in Cosmopolitan UK.

When I first got to LA, I worked with a very big producer, Rexha said.

He put me in a room with lots of other songwriters and engineers who all seemed high [on drugs]. One writer walked in and said, Listen you have no hits, but I have loads, so Im going to go downstairs and party with my friends and youre going to write a song, record the vocals and edit it. That will be our song that we wrote together.

The 30-year-old went on to describe another producer who would come into the studio and massage my feet.

One time he tried to go above my knees and was getting a little rough, [so] I pulled my feet away, she explained. He said, Nah, Im going to do what I want. But I was raised to never let someone touch my body if I dont want them to.

That same producer would, allegedly, later have his assistant call Rexha to tell her he wanted to buy the star a sundress for her to wear without underwear.

Hes really famous, Rexha told the publication, before adding that her former managers implored her to just work with him, you need a hit song.
