Thoughts On Why Gaga Hasn't Tweeted About Tony?

[Modern Ecstasy2 2,192]

Because what she is experiencing is personal for her and there is no need for her to publicly say anything just to show that she said something to the public

Prob bc she’s grieving

[thisboyisamonster 765]

She is clearly grieving, Tony was way more important for her than many of us realize. As some point out, it must be like losing a best friend or family member, not just another celebrity you looked up to. Social media wouldn't really be a priority at a time like this (at least in my opinion)

Let her grieve.

Because social media is a perfect illusion

This is so unnecessary and rude. Deserves a WP

Nah they’re right. It’s a weird question. One of her best friends just died and the question is why hasn’t she tweeted about it? Would you ask someone this to their face? Questioning this to begin with was unnecessary and rude imo. Stay out of her personal life, especially with things like this.

although i’m sure a lot of people are wondering - we don’t need a post to know she’s upset

Not everything has to be tweeted about, especially with what Twitter has become today and whom it belongs to

Gaga's in her late 30s. A lot of people don't feel comfortable talking about this type of thing on social media, especially people over the age of 30 (people who didn't grow up with social media as a part of their lives).

TBH I feel like people should stop having expectations of celebrities opening up about deeply personal things on social media. Obvs, you are not doing that, but I'm just making a general point as I've seen other people (again, not you) get mad at celebrities for that sort of thing.

Not to mention, while his family kind of has to make a statement (all public figures families make a statement)...I imagine they would have rather grieved privately. Many people prefer to grieve privately, and that could very well be what she is doing.

Lastly, Tony's wife issued a statement very late on Friday. If she is going to say something (and she very well may not), I imagine she will wait a few days so she doesn't say something right after the family.

i never post personal news on social media, rarely even good news

just feels... weird to be so public like that

She's publicly acknowledged her love and gratitude for him for years and years on all different types of media. 

I totally get that she doesn't feel like posting something, but instead is processing the loss of her close friend privately.

It's a very personal decision. 

When my Dad died earlier this year I posted a brief photo on insta/fb, and also posted his obituary. That's it, I've not posted anything else about it. My sister posted for his birthday, father's day, other pics when she's thinking of him, etc. Both approaches are fine! 

For me, it's just too painful and sharing my grief publicly does not help, it feels shtty. For my mom, sister, aunts/uncles/cousins that post, it's helps them and I'm glad. But my lack of posting has NOTHING to do with my relationship with my Dad or how I feel about his death... it's just what works for me.

Gaga has that same autonomy even if she's famous and Tony was famous

I came here to write something similar. 

When my mom passed away, I didn't make a big announcement on social media––I embedded her passing into a post about something else (because two days after she died, something I co-wrote was published, so I shared it and said something like "it feels weird to be sharing this only two days after my mom has passed..."). Sometimes I'll post about her on milestone days or just when I'm thinking of her, sometimes not––sometimes sharing my feelings about losing her is too f*cking hard, sometimes it's cathartic...there's no one right way to grieve. Two years later, I'm still not capable of putting fully into words what losing her means, because doing so will crush me. Grieving is a traumatic act, and she may not feel like publicly sharing that trauma. 

For such a personal loss as losing Tony must be for Gaga, I can understand it being too hard for her to post something right now, and she's never struck me to be someone into posting generic soundbites. Perhaps she'll post one day, perhaps she won't. Just because someone isn't posting something on social media doesn't mean the person isn't feeling things. 

I do understand why people expect her to post something, but I also fully understand why she hasn't.

She is allowed to grieve the loss of one of her best friends in private. Grief is different for everyone. I have been going through it badly myself the past 1.5 years. I am sure she will eventually make a statement, but her lack of a public statement during such a devastating PRIVATE life event does not mean she cares any less. She does not owe anyone a statement. I believe she will post one in time, but only when she is ready. But she doesnt have to if she doesnt want to. This is all very devastating to her, and we can only hope she is being surrounded by love by the Haus and her family.
