Lady Gaga took to Reddit to do an AMA (“Ask Me Anything”). Titling the post, “I am Lady Gaga. AMAA. Let’s go Cheek To Cheek like I did with Tony Bennett on my number one album.” (gag me — or maybe gag-a me), Gaga was thrilled to answer all kinds of questions from her fans…except anything to do with R. Kelly and Terry Richardson.
The way Reddit works is you post something, and depending on how much people love or hate it, they vote the post up or down. The top most voted question in Lady Gaga’s AMA is currently unanswered by Gaga, and it is:
Just wondering why you would want to work with R Kelly who was accused dozens of times for sexual assault, and Terry Richardson who was also accused several times for sexual assault, for your (cancelled) music video, which some have seen as a literal ad for rape?
In the video you say “Will I ever walk again?” and R Kelly as the doctor says “Yes, if you let me do whatever I want with your body,” and “when you wake up you’ll be pregnant”. Then there are scenes with your “unconscious” body when R Kelly and the nurses are all climbing over you.
You say you’re an ambassador for youth, and you run a youth “charity”, so why would you do something like that, knowing millions of young girls worldwide are watching your every move?
Because it’s at the top, it means it’s the question people would most like her to address; Gaga hasn’t typed a single word about it. I’m disappointed, but not surprised. I’d really love to know her answer.
As for what she did answer: questions about her meat dress (it was made by a butcher and held together with “some fishing line”), what her guilty pleasure music is (Garth Brooks), and what her hobbies are (“healing, meditation, and helping to take care of those around me”), as well as cooking.
Woo freakin hoo.
Ha so it’s not an AMA, it’s a “Only ask me what I’m comfortable answering”.
Eh, celebs usually only schedule like an hour to answer questions, by the time questions get voted to the top half the time the celebrities are done with the interview. Plus not everyone filters questions via “top” or even “hot” some do it by “new”, some celebrities don’t see the questions at all and have their pr people or reddit employees read them the questions and they answer via phone.. Just because a lot of people upvoted it doesn’t mean she knew about it. and honestly ask me anything doesn’t mean they will answer anything. I’m not a huge fan of hers but I think people just like to cause drama when there is none.
It’s titled AMAA, which means ask me ALMOST anything. The OP can answer whichever questions they like, even the most downvoted ones.
Middle aged white Mom here. I am so far behind the technology curve that I spell all my words out and truly do not *gasp* own a cell phone. So, I do not know anything about an AMA, but it sounds like “jawbreaker” nailed it. I also had not heard those details regarding the video, but I am very glad it was not made. What next? Pimping out the child to work in a sweat shop to bring “awareness” to that horrid reality (we as a people need to put a stop to this (http://www.laborrights.org/issues/child-labor) (http://love146.org/) I can only hope that Ms. Gaga uses her fame to do good and not to promote ideas like found in this video.
Knock me on the head..I am doubly dumb–I read that information right here on this website. Oh, do I feel stupid!!!! But still go to those websites and see how you can help children in need.
