_________________________________________________________________________________

As someone who has worked very closely with Terry Richardson on many many many occasions since I was 17 years old I would like to say... from my OWN personal experience: I have never been forced or manipulated into anything. I made a music video with him and I have never felt uncomfortable with Terry & had 99 percent of the creative control. This was before I was "famous". Allegations are one thing but completely blaming the director isn't fair aka the Lady Gaga video. It doesn't matter if you want to be a "role model" or not, it's your responsibility to be AWARE of what you're doing. When you're making & selling pop music for 14 year olds that is just a straight up fact. I'm not against/doubting people that have said they've encountered things with him (it's not my place to say so) but the media acting as if Terry Richardson manipulated Lady Gaga into making a video about getting touched by R-Kelly or whatever is a whole other thing. She is 28 year old woman & fully capable/aware of what she was doing. If she wants to do it is HER choice. Whether I agree with it or not. I'm REALLY insulted that my work is somehow getting dragged into this mess (this is the only place I can actually write about this). Terry has only been a supportive & caring friend to me for a long time. I actually find the whole thing upsetting & have for a while. To say I support s-xual abuse beyond hurts me. I've experienced it from a very early age until I was 16 years old & have been VERY vocal about it. I am a feminist & work with foundations globally w/ children & women that are victims of s-xual abuse. I fight for it every day. To discredit me because I'm friends of someone or my music videos/photos make you feel certain way is YOUR problem. Not mine. Your opinion of someone doesn't make them who they are. The media & the ****ing peanut gallery/trolls on the internet can paint any picture they want of you. They never have the full details. They can manipulate & project an image/persona that benefits them. There are lots of details that we DON'T know about it. There are many reasons & FACTS why I support Terry Richardson that media (basically) refuses to acknowledge. If it were up to the world I would be a racist/heroin addict manufactured robot. Which I'm far from either of those things. Before you judge people off of some article you read off a newspaper or some blog just remember: They are selling you something. The story is to benefit them somehow. It's only half truth. If that.Basically if one more person has the nerve to ask/tell me that I've ****ed Terry Richardson, I will slit their ****ing throat. I had a topless album cover. So ****ing what? I don't necessarily expect people to understand why I did it or like it. The fact that I still have to explain myself or be publicly shamed every time I speak to a journalist about it EIGHT months later is disturbing. Also, if I was using my "tits" to sell anything, my body is worth more than any cash on the entire planet. Not to mention most musicians don't MAKE ANY money off of ****ing sales. There's a lot more damage being done to the world than the female body. Get a grip.

I completely agree with this part Gaga has the guts and the willpower and all that stuff required to put her foot down when she wants to, and I believe she does when she sees fit

but the media acting as if Terry Richardson manipulated Lady Gaga

 

Literally NO ONE has been saying that, tell this to that irrelevant. 

[WH0RE 1]

yasss Sky, every word of that was the tea.

 

i cannnot at you other messes who obviously didnt read what she wrote and just went straight to dragging her...

[HausOfGuy 10]

claps claps claps for the good sis sky. i just hate it when ppl claim gagas audience is katy's or miley's or other pop artists... most of us in the fan base are above 14. i would even say most of us are between 16 and 25. And even if we were all 14 year olds, it wouldn't be gaga's job to educate us or anything. /rant

[MahoganySnitch 67]

If an opinion doesn't make someone who they are, her opinion of him falls under that as well...right?

[LaMaisonGaga 23,884]

those dumb ass members here who go all unneccessary like "who" seriously screw you guys sometimes

[RAMROD 96,153]

Very good, I support her words!

YAS! I am enjoying this no BS rants of people who blames Gaga and Terry served by you, SKY!! :applause:

[artpopmess 369]

The Everything-Is-Embarrassing Chanteuse spills the tea

[Gypsy Life 118,907]

I agree. Terry gets too much undeserved hate. I mean, yes, he's a creep, but he has never done anything wrong to any of the artists he worked with.

[Gohan 15,105]

Omg, I'm so proud of how mature she is :omg:

[PopReaper 2,120]

I agree with what she said about Gaga and the DWUW video tbh
