I'm still not capable of putting fully into words what losing her means, because doing so will crush me

Exactly. There is no way I could ever write something about my Dad's death that could come close to expressing how I feel, and it's hard to even try.

Now, Gaga is considerably better with words than me (lol), and I have no doubt that if and when she writes a tribute to Tony it will be beautiful, but she also has honoured him countless times when he was alive and I think that's what matters most

Stay out of her personal life, especially with things like this.

I mean I 100% agree with this, but she is a very famous popstar, you can't expect to live a normal peasant life, also during times like this. Most people will expect something of her, it's not that she owes anyone anything, but questioning as to why she hasn't posted anything is not very uncommon thought and people shouldn't be shamed for this as well. 

Let her do her thing, people are also quite quick to fill in that she must be full of grieving emotions but for all that we know she was aware of this for weeks already. Besides, if someone of 96 dies it can't be really that much of a surprise too imo.

I mean I surely won't be running to social media to tweet or post about the death of someone who's that close to me as soon as I get the news. It's just not something anyone will prioritize when they're grieving. Her being famous doesn't mean she needs to run to twitter and say something, and her not saying anything doesn't mean there's information she's concealing or whatever. That's such a weird thing to even consider.

She basically only tweets about business these days, keeps her private life private. It's healthy leave her be

i think a valid question to ask is will she be performing a tribute at the next grammys?

Celebrity or not, she has the right to be silent about whatever she wants. There’s a line. Just because she’s famous doesn’t mean it’s not disrespectful to inquire publicly about why she hasn’t made a social media post about the death of a loved one, regardless of their age or condition. There should be no speculation about it because it’s not our concern other than to hope she is alright. And him being 96 and declining in recent weeks does not negate the tragedy that follows, so let’s not be so crass as to assume it softens the blow in any way. It’s quite simply none of our business and to inquire on a public forum about why someone hasn’t made a TWEET about a loved one’s death is both outrageously morose and expresses an extreme lack of empathy and self-awareness.

I’m pleased that she hasn’t. It’s healthy for her to keep things like this private. Not everything needs to be plastered on social media but I guess it’s just the age we live in now that it’s expected. 

[vitoburrrito 620]

It’s just a personal choice when/if to post anything online. I have family members who’ve posted a TON when a grandparents or relative dies whereas I didn’t post anything. Grief is a personal thing and it doesn’t always require a post, regardless of whether a person is famous. 

[Allan 3,584]

Part of me believes the possibility that she didn't learn that he died by the news, but by actually being there. Knowing how close she was to him and his family and how important he was to her life, it's very likely that she went to be there with them in person and is too involved at this moment to even think about tweeting.

Even if she does not participate in one, we should respect that. I can imagine how she will be weeping on stage thinking about him while performing... I'd like to see it but i wont be sad if she doesnt.

I hope she's ok.

 

It's public knowledge, it's not like she'd be spilling private information that isn't know. Acknowledging famous ppl when they die publicly is also not generally seen as something disrespectful on the contrary it's usually seen as an acknowledgement that they mattered.

 

So I wonder why she's been lip sealed

It's probably because she's still in deep grief.

No one wants to pick up the phone when they are going through that. IMHO.

No one said she owed us anything

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.

No that's fair. But my OP isn't so much a criticism like how dare she not tweet... It's more a asking if she's ok knowing normally SHE DOES tweet when legends pass away

[Lextyr97 19,084]

She’s probably emotionally destroyed. This is not a scenario where she needs to show the world she cares about Tony. She has shown it so much and she’s dealing with it her own way. She doesn’t need to post about it. This is about Tony, not about Gaga

[Onlygaga 1,161]

We all know she’s absolutely devastated. She’s been understandably extremely private for a few years now, so it’s really no surprise. She’s more than likely grieving in private considering how toxic online is. Whatever she’s doing I hope she’s allowing herself time to grieve and heal
