They probablynhad like after work drinks or sth, but I doubt they have ever been truly “alone” with Gaga. and even then, can u imagine how stressful it mustve been to talk to her about it? I would freak out tbh. they make it out to seem they were close with gaga, surely they had her phone number and could talk privately there. if you can't open up to a close friend then maybe the friend isn't that close mother, what must i do?

One of the dancers said that those in a position to do something have already been informed of Richy's behaviour. While we don’t know for sure, that is also my assumption.

OMonster 14,732 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 This is a really scary story because it reflects so badly on Gaga it's unreal. I can't think of an artist at her level whose creative director has been an abuser? I'm so saddened by this news and feel awful for Gaga because how is she supposed to perform for fans when all of this is coming out? The dancers are hinting that Richy's behaviour has been horrendous for the best part of a decade. That means every Gaga tour has most likely had a background of abuse and exploitation. And this is for the artist who makes kindness part of her brand. It's terrible optics. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessyTop 14,389 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I hope all of this get cleared out before the tour starts. the timing of it all it’s very strange. I don’t want anyone working with an abusive person. sigh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole fandom is messy and tiring asf. and now people are taking then "Silas accused Richey of sexual assault" as gospel. Again, not defending Richey, he sounds awful, but a lot of fans are (sadly) sending racist death threats to the man so it wouldn't surprise me if they made it up, especially as some fans have a history of making up DMs. The whole language comes across like a stan-and the English isn't that great. Not to mention the dancer hasn't spoken publicly, so spilling like that in the DMs of a fan seem suspect as h*ll. And Montana spoke openly about Richey being mentally abusive, so I don't know why she wouldn't mention this... Obvs. it could be real, but I'd wait.

Ivy 12,842 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 For questions about why would Gaga keep Richy, it seems like maybe he could have been manipulating the situation and if so then maybe Gaga would somewhat take his side The dancers still wouldn't blame her tho because they would know that he's been lying to her or being manipulative the meow in zombieboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically she's evil. Are you dense? I said they should release some sort of statement if they want all this anger from the fans to slow down a bit. Where did I imply that she condones he’s behaviour? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovelife 460 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I feel so bad for Gaga. I kinda wished they could've solved this privately (i mean had fired Richie and some other problematic members of the HAUS). I know all her core values are being kind and spreading love, kindness, born brave, etc, and I know she means it. It's just that sometimes when it's about our friends and families, we tend to get confused and we can go wrong. But it's alright. I believe she will find a way to solve it all. I love you Gagz, be strong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awful the person shared them without consent then I just thought also, if it was fake, then he would say that when he found out about it.. so if he never does then it must be real the meow in zombieboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Ga 15,331 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 If none of the dancers are blaming Gaga for protecting an abuser then why should any of us blame her for that? The dancers know something we don’t about the situation and if they’re saying it’s nothing but love for Gaga I’m sure they know there’s something limiting her actions here. Maybe Richy is already on the way out. It’s also entirely possible that Gaga is only realizing now the true scope of his abuse. Abuse doesn’t always happen out in the open. It can sometimes take YEARS or DECADES for people to realize they’ve all been abused by the same person. Remember Me Too? One person coming forward can have true ripple effects. Let’s also remember how people act so different around Gaga because of her fame — just watch 5 foot 2. It could be incredibly hard for Gaga to know who is telling the truth and who’s not in these situations. I think now though with these dancers coming forward publicly that she will realize the scope of his abuse. 🤖⚡️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlaeUrAnus 16,070 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Gaga needs to discuss this with Richie like every other HR department would do. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
