Reject False Icons 4,825 Posted yesterday at 05:33 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:33 AM (edited) Old tea but did anybody point out the double standard Gaga faced from the DWUW music video, specifically from working with Terry Richardson It was really unfair to crucify her from working with him when just in November of 2013 he directed Miley Cyrus’s Wrecking Ball and it was an absolute hit and nobody even mentioned or cared about him directing the music video of such a popular song PS I just got to know that XO by Beyoncé which came out in December of 2013 (around the same time DWUW was supposed to release) is directed by Terry Richardson too well nobody canceled Bey at the time this just proves that when an artist has a hating streak, every little detail just adds to the stake they are being burned Edited yesterday at 05:40 AM by Reject False Icons 12 4 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 17,497 Posted yesterday at 05:37 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:37 AM I agree. However, I would add that the Wrecking Ball video DID get some backlash in the media for showing unnecessary nudity and sexualization 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANVEEROY 62,212 Posted yesterday at 05:43 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:43 AM I personally feel her former manager Troy was sabotaging her left and right; and Gaga didn't deserve that! DJ HIT THE LIGHTS! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 75,679 Posted yesterday at 05:53 AM Share Posted yesterday at 05:53 AM No one cares about the Beyonce Diddy song, still on streaming, no one cares about Justin Bieber having a song w R Kelly released in 2013, among many others, etc. Gaga just gets more heat 10 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
27monster27 14,619 Posted yesterday at 06:21 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:21 AM I actually didn't know about Terry Richardson also doing XO and Wrecking Ball, but I agree 100%. The only thing is that Lady Gaga had him and R Kelly combined, which was probably a lot. That plus the public not fully understanding the meaning behind "Do What U Want with my body", which had another meaning deeper than the surface level one. he/him/his 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this explains what was going on in the heads of people at the time pretty well. People saw Gaga was making a music video with an unsavory character and directed by another. I feel that the meaning behind DWUW went over a lot of people's heads, the GP included. They just assumed that because of the line, "Do what you want with my body," the song couldn't possibly be about anything more than sex. ｡ﾟ☁ glued up, sometimes it's too much ☁ ﾟ｡ 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco 15,555 Posted yesterday at 06:57 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:57 AM I think people forget that the backlash came from how involved Gaga was with Terry. Like he didn't just direct a music video, at the time they were friends. They worked together on more than just a music video and for a number of years and had a strong relationship. So ofc she copped more flack than Miley & the wrecking ball video (which got plenty of critique) or anyone who did a project or 2 with him. The gays know how to party 12 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhiannon 1,581 Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM (edited) Maybe it’s just me but it also feels like it’s the women who took the most heat in these situations. I also love how everyone responding to this thread shared an interesting and different point of view and it feels like they’re all valid bits of explanation for what happened. I think it shows the complexity of all of this. Edited yesterday at 07:06 AM by Rhiannon R. 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers 30,114 Posted yesterday at 07:18 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:18 AM maybe one of the differences was that the DWUW video appeared to glorify abuse, and the wrecking ball video wasn't about SA at all?

River 120,808 Posted yesterday at 07:58 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:58 AM Honestly, her own fans created this big buzz around Gaga x Terry, if only they stfu and let her deal with it quietly behind the scenes, nobody would have make such a fuss about it. The fans wanted her to say something, to apologized, to be this perfect human being they created in their mind. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nATAH 52,481 Posted yesterday at 08:11 AM Share Posted yesterday at 08:11 AM Terry pretty much fell off after 2013 dwuw caught a second wave of heat around 18/19 with the r kelly documentary (or trial? can't remember) and gaga was campaigning for those awards, the song was still available until then which is why she's the main one punished for it I don't think anybody knows who directs music videos outside of music fanatics, i couldn't tell you who directed thriller or even pokerface lol mother, what must i do? 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
