SpaceAce 1,058 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 What a lovely well thought out written piece. I’m completely in the same boat. I agree the courts are just a formality (albeit very abused and manipulated one); at the end of the day you ultimately need to trust your instincts and natural reasoning, especially when it comes to rich/powerful people. All signs point to Terry being a total creep (same goes for R-Kelly). It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out. You only need to look at Terry’s “art†to see his disturbing/ degrading attitude towards women and his clear lack of professional ethics (im talking about the stuff that doesn’t get published on the cover of GQ). Just because OJ Simpson was never formally charged with murder doesn’t magically erase his history of abusive and violent tendencies. Of course Terrys not going to pull that sort of behavior in front of gaga. These sorts of predators often pull a Jekyll and Hide act, appearing as charming charismatic professionals but they are in fact more than willing manipulate those perceived below them in order to get what they want. This is why I perhaps forgive gaga; she’s obviously a very naïve person who is willing to see the best in everybody. She’s only human but it is always painful to see the flaws in those you idolize. My view of her has dramatically changed over the past couple of years. In my eyes she has gone from this activist goddess and artist whose willing to die for what she believes too just a regular flawed 28 year old who happens to make music I really like. I think it’s great to question the actions of your idol instead of defending them out of blind loyalty. It shows independence and originality as a thinker (isn’t this gaga’s whole message) which is ultimately more important than putting someone you don’t even know on an unrealistic pedestal. Ahh thanks. This is pretty much all I meant to convey here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunt 0 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Gaga chooses her friends and colleagues, not us, and he is, in my opinion, a great photographer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopBitch 1,218 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 And we have the right to be repulsed by it. My best friend called me today. One of my friends is the biggest Little Monster in the world. She looked up to Gaga and felt empowered by her. She was also preyed upon by an older boss when she was 19 in her part-time job while in college. I won't repeat what happened. When she saw today the snippet with the video and Terry Richardson involved when she thought Gaga had quashed the video, she told me she has walked away from Gaga as a mega fan and doesn't look up to her at all anymore like she did and is disgusted by the mixed message she sends with these s-xual predators she works with. Her last words were interesting. She said, "Gaga is just another MIley Cyrus in regards to Terry Richardson being pop singer sheep working with him, taking no stand. I never thought I would use Miley Cyrus and Gaga in the same sentence. " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookerfreak 30 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Azealia Banks is one of the most talented rappers in the game imo, yet Gaga chose to scrap their collaboration on ARTPOP due to her having 'a bad attitude'. This means she takes into account other factors not including pure talent, so saying she is looking past Terry & R.Kelly's private lives and only focusing on their talent can only be taken as hypocritical. Plus I reckon even 'alleged' s-xual offences are far worse than having a bad attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceAce 1,058 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I really don't know about R. KELLY, but I do believe Terry is a perverted s-xual abuser. There is a video and court documents which undeniably prove R. Kelly is a predator. Some fans like to use the excuse that he was never convicted of anything but they fail to understand that police ****ed up and that the court system is not infallible. Azealia Banks is one of the most talented rappers in the game imo, yet Gaga chose to scrap their collaboration on ARTPOP due to her having 'a bad attitude'. This means she takes into account other factors not including pure talent, so saying she is looking past Terry & R.Kelly's private lives and only focusing on their talent can only be taken as hypocritical. Plus I reckon even 'alleged' s-xual offences are far worse than having a bad attitude. A great point that I've never considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mAnster 26 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Where were you people when she mentioned she was going to open for Michael Jackson? Y'all were gagging at the thought. Suddenly it's r.kelly and terry Richardson and everyone flips out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
