S0436 10,215 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 It’s not like Gaga herself tweeted this. It’s a stand-alone company that has its own management team. Gaga just curates the items beforehand, she doesn’t deal with the day to day running of it and decide every detail. And Gaga hasn’t written about Haus Labs directly in a social media post for over a month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyonce, Ariana, Dua, Chrissy Teigen, etc. all have their own business ventures. Ultimately, it's about $ like all businesses but it's not slapping her name on a pair of headphones. But yeah, she obviously was never involved with every single decision (there's gotta be at least five hundred employees (I said a thousand earlier, but 500 is more realistic) for a business of that size/when you factor in the profits....and it was kind of silly (and probably annoying for the business people who were) to say so. But I agree with it being a good thing that her name isn't on the label...so she's not dragged into their every f*ck up by the press even if she's "technically" responsible as she's the boss. * I suspect the bundles probably weren't going to ship for a month, when the social distancing was "allegedly" going to end.....and probably a lot of it can be done by telecommuting if they are all packaged and ready to go and just need an address/the order to be processed....but still...dumb, bad choice by HL and I'm almost positive they'll delete the tweet. Stans on twitter are going to turn this into a thing though and get her dragged to h*ll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just worked out and am about to shower and then put on proper clothing, as looking presentable occasionally does make me feel better.) I did mention in another post that I realize that makeup could be therapeutic for some people right now, as self-care is super important, and people have plenty of time to explore different looks without worrying that they're going to look like a clown in public. That said, I do wonder how they're managing this from a labor standpoint. It would help if they could clarify this. Maybe each employee did bring home some inventory, and perhaps the mail carrier is picking up the boxes from their homes. It would be helpful to know this. Edited to add: Even Amazon is prioritizing shipping "essential" goods right now, and it's not like they have the best labor practices. No need to explain. I understood. sorry if it looked like I was criticising your post. In the UK we went into lockdown yesterday and today it seems that many businesses aren't shut down like you would expect them to be. I think many are still trying to power through like it's not a big deal. I imagine the HL employees will be wearing masks and gloves. I do think all non essential businesses should close down and it will probably only happen when the outbreak gets worse and there's a higher likelihood of them falling ill with it.

hankhatesyouall 2,731 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Why do all her tweets feel so inauthentic now compared to 2011? I mean, even her jokes feel like they were written by someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEZ 6,227 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 They deleted the tweet, but they can't delete emails after sending them I thought maybe they just forgot to change the scheduled post/send times for these things, and that deleting the tweet was indicative that this was an oopsie, but the Instagram post is still up, so this is all seemingly still a go... wow, brazen. ⚡🐲 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, even her jokes feel like they were written by someone else. Gaga has made it clear she really dislikes social media. For example, in the Paper magazine interview, she mentions her joke on Twitter about forgetting about ARTPOP. She was frustrated that people got pissed off and how she has to be serious 24/7. And can you really blame her? Look at all the righteous indignation in this thread right now about something she obviously had no part in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I didn't think you were. I just wanted to clarify that I do understand the importance of self-care and how make-up can be part of that for some people. I hope businesses in the UK will take this thing more seriously. The quickest way to resolve things is for people to minimize contact with others and stay at home as much as possible.

Guest Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 So releasing an album isn’t ok but releasing make up is? C’mon Gaga, as if we don’t realize the actual reason the album & all other entertainment releases are getting delayed is because everyone’s afraid of low sales. I’ve honestly never in my 10 years of being a fan have been upset with Gaga but this is just ridiculous. Keep the album then, whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna stop posting because this whole website is a mess that I want no part of: But its NOT NEW MAKEUP. Its a make up bundle. They are literally taking already released products and selling them together at a discount. Why would Gaga have any input in this? She doesnt run their social media, she doesnt have a say in warehouse practices, and she doesnt control pricing or release dates. All she has input in is the actual product, Amazon takes care of the rest. Jesus Christ, of all the things to get outraged about. I remember why I stopped coming here the first time, because Gaga's fanbase is filled with nasty, self righteous jerk offs. I guess that hasnt changed one bit.

You DO realize that it’s literally her company, right? & go ahead, stop coming here idfc? 😂 I already stated my history of being upset with Gaga which I’ve never been & have always defended her. I am allowed to have my feelings on the issue at hand, I am allowed to have an opinion on it, & most of all fans are ALLOWED to be upset or disappointed that she delayed the album when it was just a few weeks away & we’ve waited 4 years for another Gaga album & even longer for a pop album.
