She said "snakes"? Maybe Richy and Nicola? Neither of them is working with Gaga anymore... :oprah: I didn't want to but I need to watch the full video

I'm glad she's getting away from toxic people. 

EDIT: She mentioned some "minions" that were really close to Richy... Christopher "War" Shazar being one of them. What a mess :saladga: Like you literally see and hear how that man is mistreating your team mates and you support him

I think with snakes in the garden she refers to Gaga's own personality. Not everyone is perfect. Gaga didnt personally reach out to her for example. Which Sloan is understanding about, but still wishes Gaga would.

Gaga probably has some personality traits or habits that stood in the way of the situation. We all know she can be her own worst enemy and push herself too far. 

Canceling projects for example shouldn't just be solely blamed on Richy, Gaga may have also bit of more than she could chew at the time or may not have been involved in her team enough to know it was malfunctioning. Which is is al perfectly understandable.

Not saying I'm on Richy's side btw, I fully stand by Sloan and she worded everything so well, I just see people in this thread jump to some conclusions that I think need a bit more nuance.

According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch

Whew… thank god Parris Goebel is basically the complete opposite of her. 

Notice how Gaga and her team are now comfortable posting BTS of dance rehearsals. 

I guess they weren’t comfortable with that bc Richy made it an absolute hell… wow. 

As if I couldn’t hate him more…. Just so grateful he’s gone.

I don't think he was like that in front of her...

- Laurieann set the tone for that toxic environment, and when Richy took over, it became worse.

- Richy would make Gagas dancers come to rehearsals and sit for 8 hours doing nothing

- Richy would do open calls for new dancers and make them wait outside in the sun for 12 hours.

- Richy would take down signs that says "water break" and shout at dancers saying he never took water breaks when he was a dancer

- Richy constantly made meetings about dancers salary and told them they shouldnt ask for more because they arent worth it, and they are replacable

- Richy would exclude one dancer from shooting music videos and big projects with no communication or explanation if they dont behave right

- Richy would tell dancers to cut off their friendships with other dancers, and blamed one of the dancer for making the other dancer fat

- Gaga was close to Sloan, so she would ask Sloan to help her privately with some dance moves, and Richy hated that, and kept asking Sloan why is Gaga asking for her

- Sloan says she has nothing but love for Gaga, and she doesnt blame Gaga for any of this, and that Gaga was always nice and kind. She also says Gaga and her whole team are good, it was only Ricky that was the issue, so she would have continued working working with Gaga if it wasnt for Richy.

- Sloan texted Gaga a nice text after quitting the Chromatica Ball, but Gaga did not respond to her

- Bobby eventually made one on one calls with the dancers, but nothing came out of it

It's nice that she doesn't blame Gaga but after reading all this I do. In a corporate environment I would also blame the management for enabling a toxic work culture. I really cannot imagine Gaga as their employer didn't notice at least part of this. Why drag Richy with them for so long? Especially if the choreos became rather meh at some point.

Yeah... Maybe, but in the context I think she referred to people. It may be Gaga's personality but she mentioned people that were helping cover him like War Shazar. She was very clear, maybe other dancers will also share their experiences and give us more details to understand better the situation.

Also, about project cancellations... If you're the choreographer and you call dancers to rehearse for a tour, you don't have them 8 hours doing nothing because you don't have anything prepared. That's unprofessional. And I didn't remember but if, in fact, they canceled that Dive Bar Tour special date because they were rehearsing for the tour, it means that they fell behind and had to prioritize one, that being the tour. So, in that case, we can say that was Richy's fault

If he turns out he's the one behind the choreos that everyone attributes to Laurieann, I will have to laugh.

No way... There's a clear difference. The one that choreographed Bad Romance, Judas, LoveGame, Poker Face and Alejandro is clearly not the same to the one that choreographed Stupid Love, Rain On Me and Americano...

He did Applause, G.U.Y., Babylon and Replay, tho

One of his pinned posts on Instagram is saying he choreographed Bad Romance, I'd really love someone who knows the truth to confirm or call him out if he's lying :gum:

You popped my heart seams, all my bubble dreams

I’m assuming she didn’t reply because bobby probably advised her not to - not in ill faith but because if the lawsuit were pushed further anything she could have said potentially could have been used against her

Guys sorry but jumping to definitive conclusions based on this is really pointless. We still don't - and will never - know how things went behind the scenes and what we have been told probably is a small part of it. It's okay to have opinions but for your own good don't wrap your head around it too much, it's a waste of time and effort.

well, Sloan backed him up on that regard even tho she slanders him on everything else here, so things now are favouring him in that he was the main creative behind the actual moves within the choreography... So it's is just funny to see fans already entering denial with no real back up xd

but that's a corporate environment, this is not

he should have been axed sooner but you can't blame gaga because she's not his direct manager, she's the artist so it's not the same dynamic as corporate

abusers get away with these things because they know how to hide it very well

mother, what must i do?

Just finished listening. Wow. Emotional. Sad ending. Gaga should have handled it better but I’m glad she herself wasn’t an issue. 

I need Richy in jaillll.

**** him.

He destroyed our family of dancers we loved from the BTWB onwards. Mark, Asiel, Montana, Sloan, all gone bc of his BS. 

Sloan is so great. So brave. I’m glad she’s started her own thing now and most importantly: Richy is gone!! :vegas:

Kinda sad Gaga never replied t Sloan, and that in this interview it is insinuated that Richy is still part of the Haus. 
By the way, which dancer did she say was the one that was close to Richy and showed up late etc.?

The fact we could have got Frankensteined previewed at JWT but was cancelled because Richy did not made the choreo for it :saladga: 

Go **** yourself for everything squirrel :fthis:
