thank GOD she left that in 2013

Saying this as an arab, I honestly didn’t even care. BUT it still probably was a choice that should have been panned in the editing room lol

What culture could Gaga possibly be appropriating? Woke culture? Activism? Maybe, if we wanna go there.

She links it to the fact that Gaga was managed by black men, so I think she's talking about black culture.

It wouldn't be Stephanie's first time for this. Back in 2018 she accused Sam Smith of cultural appropriation after Sam was critical of Michael Jackson. Stephanie used to date MJ a long time ago and is very protective of him. Maybe she doesn't like the fact that Gaga has MJ's old clothes.

She was high out of her mind probably during that shoot. Do we know the dates?

She owed this legend an apology fr

Just gleaning from the story … someone from Gaga’s team reached out to someone from Stephanie Mills’ team to relay to Stephanie Mills that Gaga’s favorite song is “Home,” and to request that Stephanie Mills surprise Gaga at a photoshoot to sing the song; Stephanie Mills was hesitant, but agreed; upon surprising Gaga at the shoot by singing the song, Gaga appeared blithely unaware of the situation and Stephanie Mills, the songstress; Stephanie Mills was displeased at the engagement (and/or lack thereof); Gaga and Stephanie Mills took photos together, after which, Gaga’s team mandated Stephanie Mills delete all the photos from her phone / record … ?

Just top-line … it reads like a “team” issue … Gaga, from lens of the story, sounds like an accessory … Stephanie Mills, to be fair, had valid instincts … but/and Gaga might have loved the song and not known the singer … and/or known the singer’s name but/and not Stephanie Mills’ face … ignorance is not a defense, but Gaga didn’t make the request to be surprised … and her team didn’t seem to cover the bases 

But, again, as always, just top line media discourse analysis … I’m new and novice and just learning as we go along 

As far as the culture vulture claim … it’s a valid perspective from Stephanie Mills’ vantage and background … again, Gaga’s team didn’t seem to sort of expand certain aspects of her cultural lexicon … and that was to her detriment at times … but, again, just top line takes on the blink 

And, this probably reads like a wall of text but, it is what it is …

Really interesting point of consideration though … I do think, in her own way, Gaga will explore this cultural plane of reference / intersection more intentionally at some point in the foreseeable 

But/and/again, as always, just blinking salt grain observations into the airwaves … none of this might make a modicum of legible sense

surely the 'team' that would have made her delete the pictures would be the magazine for whatever shoot it was for as to not have any looks leaked? unless im misunderstanding

this seems odd and just.. weird?

There is a nasty undertone to this whole clip from Stephanie.

She calls Gaga a culture vulture and links it to the fact that Gaga was managed by black men ?

And the reference to Gaga's 'little black dog' .... why mention the dog in the first place, and why mention that it was black ?

 

This 👆

Glad I wasn’t the only one. Not one these people that have said “bad” stuff about Gaga is someone I liked before and the ones I like love her 🤷🏻‍♂️ also I’m old I’ve never heard of this woman

lets hear the other side of the story! 

[weed 79,475]

I'm fine with a Bill Cosby defender hating her! but I hate whatever backlash Mother may get

[JoeCool 1,137]

I like Stephanie so respect her feelings....  it just doesn't sound like Gaga to be that cold.  Hopefully it was just a misunderstanding
