That time Gaga was supposedly bitten by a venomous primate

Lady Gaga wanted to feature an adorable Asian jungle creature called a slow loris in her latest music video — but she settled for five of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after the animal bit her.

Gaga, her parents and her crew, including synchronized swimmers, arrived Monday at San Simeon — the California castle built by William Randolph Hearst — for a three-day shoot of “G.U.Y. (Girl Under You)” a song on her “ARTPOP” album.

An animal trainer brought a slow loris, a baby kangaroo and an exotic goat, but none of the animals were used.

“The slow loris is the cutest creature on the planet, and Lady Gaga wanted to use it in one scene, but it nipped her,” a source told me. “They put it back in its box and took it away in disgrace.”

The pop star wasn’t hurt. “She just laughed about it,” the source added. “She was a good sport.”

Later, Gaga, who donated $250,000 to the Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation, wanted to use the goat, but an official from the California State Parks Department, vetoed the idea.

I came across a Tumblr post today about her being bitten so I went to look it up. I don't know how reliable this article's 'source' was, but if true she was lucky since slow lorises are venomous
"Bites from a slow loris can be extremely painful and have been known to cause illness and even death in humans in some circumstances. Those who have severe allergies can go into anaphylactic shock minutes after a bite has happened."

Also thank god she never used the loris though (assuming there was even plans in the first place), she would've gotten a lot of backlash since they're threatened in the wild because of the pet trade. And probably backlash from Australians for using a kangaroo :flop:

Do you feel him sir?

This is sooo funny omg... I'm just imagining the trainer taking it back to the car or whatever, scolding it like, "you embarrassed us in front of Lady Gaga!!!"

(I am glad they didn't use them, animals really aren't toys or props)

I remember last year the G.U.Y storyboard leaked and there was a scene with an animal that seemed to be a loris so it’s true

Bloody hooker

It’s probably somewhat true, because the G.U.Y. storyboards included an animal which looked like a loris.

This mutual gaze was a “longing to touch” or a "pre-coitus" stare.

An exotic.... goat? :laughga: Gaga’s brain is kinda messed up sometimes.

I remember her posting videos or gifs of this little monkey on LM.com doing the Vs Up choreo for Venus 

Gosh I feel ancient

I think I remember that now, that was a slow loris. 

Apparently they do that when scared so it's not so cute anymore :cryga:

Noooo thank god she didn't they only do that when threatened, the backlash :deadbanana: I think this was around the time the 'tickling' video went viral so it makes sense she wanted to use it but it would've ended up being bad once the whole 'tickling is torture' thing came out about it 

Do you feel him sir?
