Forrest Gump 1 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yea it was a joke and all of us know that but, there are millions of young kids out there who follow her on twitter and look up to her. Kids are extremely impressionable. I'm not saying reading that tweet from Gaga will be the sole cause of a kid getting an eating disorder but it may be one of the many causes that can trigger it. It is also just poor taste to joke about not eating. Especially how she put a hash tag next to it meaning she wants people to trend that sentence. I am honestly disappointed in her for tweeting that. she tweets abut being drunk too, is that better then eating a salad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMike 2 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The media is about to throw a ****fit over one tasteless tweet. Welp, there goes her whole "hiding from the public eye" shtick... That's what happens though, they need something on her and she's not giving them anything so they gotta find something. :sadno: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Space 14 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not to mention that the hashtag was referring to an old interview where she said that. I think it was more of a reference than a joke. Anywho, glad to hear that she's wearing a t-shirt. :party: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageGlamorous 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That's what happens though, they need something on her and she's not giving them anything so they gotta find something. :sadno: I'm not defending the tweet (it was tacky and tasteless as **** ), but the media is picking up steam on it already. I think Gaga needs an orator sometimes. This isn't the first time she's misspoken publicly and taken lashings for it. She just doens't think before she talks/tweets/interviews.

Kuroro 1 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 hmm. people can think whatever they want after her last tweet. gaga can't please everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubytuesday 24 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Her shirt was referencing the late pop icon Selena, who was killed by the president of her fan club (slayed by Fame). Not Selena Gomez. :smh: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavymlover 340 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Actually that tweet might be related to the theme of her next album. Sarcastic statement about how pop stars have the pressure to be perfect, and how they do everything to achieve that perfection. Decay of the pop icon? Personally I think she's hinting the theme, but it has gone too far. I'm wondering if she is going to say something about it. Also, if we assume that 'Selena' is the one who was killed by a fan, then it's even more related to the topic.

Katie14 4,828 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 she tweets abut being drunk too, is that better then eating a salad? The part of the tweet about her eating a salad instead of a hamburger is fine. The only part of the tweet that I think is inappropriate is the "#popsingersdonteat" statement. And I think tweeting about not eating is worse than tweeting about drinking even though she was only joking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKANK 14,288 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) It is shocking how many people do not have a sense of humor. The part of the tweet about her eating a salad instead of a hamburger is fine. The only part of the tweet that I think is inappropriate is the "#popsingersdonteat" statement. And I think tweeting about not eating is worse than tweeting about drinking even though she was only joking. If a kid gets an eating disorder from a hashtag, they have bigger problems then their diet. Edited April 12, 2012 by SKANK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTPOP Gypsy 3 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) The media just sucks up this kind of stuff like it's candy. Any bad information they can get on a celebrity, the better for them in their eyes. I don't necessarily agree with her recent tweet, her tweets about drinking, and her admitting to using Xanax but that's just her. I think it was clearly just a bad joke.

GarageGlamorous 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Lord. Just because it was a joke doesn't instantly make it okay or non-offensive. What if she had tweeted something blatantly racist or homophobic "as a joke"? Would you all still be defending her? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
