Wow... A STAR IS BORN snub?! — Page 3

I was very happy to see Lady Gaga go home empty handed. Not only was her performance wildly overrated. She STILL refuses to speak out against R. Kelly.

The less we see of her the better.

The last comment she made about R. Kelly was " "R Kelly and I have sometimes (had) very untrue things written about us so, in a way, this was a bond between us."

She has refused to say anything negative about him or participate in Surviving R. Kelly.

You can't defend a sexual predator of children and still fancy yourself an advocate.

Yeah it's five years old because that's the last thing she said about it.

The last time Lady Gaga decided to talk about R. Kelly she DEFENDED HIM.

Also the reason given for cancelling that video is that her team decided it was too "sexually explicit". Not because he is a child rapist. She still chose to perform the song with him on SNL.

Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Dave Chappelle Declined to Speak for ‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ Producer Says

“Most people just don’t want to touch it,” Hampton said. “[Questlove] was like, ‘I would do anything for you but I can’t do this.’ It’s not because they support him, it’s because it’s so messy and muddy. It’s that turning away that has allowed this to go on.”

Where is your source for that quote?"

Actually I was wrong! The real story is even worse.

To this date, the only reason Lady Gaga has given for canceling the video that was basically a commercial for rape is "time constraints and management problems."

She has NEVER spoken out against R. Kelly. Only defended him.

WHERE'S LADY GAGA'S 'DO WHAT U WANT' VIDEO? SHE EXPLAINS THE 'DEVASTATING' DELAY

You realize Gaga didn't rape anyone, right? Do you expect Macaulay Culkin to apologize for working with Donald Trump in Home Alone 2?

Give it up, Kwang."

LOL. Correcting myself isn't making things up. And the truth is WORSE than what I said originally.

I guess you're cool with people defeding child rapists.

*Interesting that while many think that the Golden Globes are not good indicators of potential Oscar wins, here is a list of Best Picture winners over the years ( with the Globes categorizing the win as either for Drama or Comedy/Musical) which proves it otherwise.

Jo, You are absolutely correct. They have also been good indicators in the actor, actress and director categories. I'm not saying that for the last 10 years, they have always been correct,but to my knowledge they have never gotten all 4 categories incorrect. If they did it is a rarity. So back to my point. If Golden Globes were not awarded to A Star Is Born in the best film, actor, actress,and director categories, I doubt, if all four are winning Oscars as many on here had predicted. Also thanks to AADA81 for explaining the Golden Globes to me. I really had no idea. Even though I have attended not one, but two dress rehearsal ceremonies during the TBS days.

Has anyone ever thought that Lady Gaga hasn’t waded into the R Kelly situation because it’s extremely triggering for her and could effect the PTSD she already suffers from due to her own past? She hasn’t even named her abuser publicly. Perhaps her distancing herself from the song, recording a new duet, and not releasing the video was her way of trying to move on after she learned the truth? I am sure she suffers extreme guilt seeing as how she was speaking out about Me Too long before Me Too had fully formed into what it now is. Perhaps she will eventually release a statement when she feels strong enough, but I can’t dare believe that she hasn’t because she believes or supports him.

"I was very happy to see Lady Gaga go home empty handed"

She won a Golden Globe last night.

It's NOT her responsibility, or any celebrity to speak out about a child molester. It's not their job. The victims have come forward, and some are still inside the statue of limitations for sexual conduct/offenses towards a child, kidnapping, etc. They have been strong and brave enough to finally tell their story, I hope they feel comfortable filing police reports against that vile garbage person. He deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life.

"It's NOT her responsibility, or any celebrity to speak out about a child molester. It's not their job."

It's this type of thinking, especially by people in power (like Lady Gaga, Jay Z, etc) that allow these things to go on for so long.

R. Kelly was a known abuser, especially by people in the industry, when these celebrities CHOSE to work with him.

"The victims have come forward, and some are still inside the statue of limitations for sexual conduct/offenses towards a child, kidnapping, etc. They have been strong and brave enough to finally tell their story, I hope they feel comfortable filing police reports against that vile garbage person.

I suggest you research the allegations against Kelly and watch the documentary. Women have been coming forward about Kelly for years.

Didn't she work with him just after he was found NOT guilty?

It wasn't until 2 or 3 years after she worked with him that the cult sex prisoner stuff came out.

I imagine it was their shared record company that organised the duet to give him some cred back and she had little to do with any decision making.

Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist and a total lunatic and yet Madonna had him all over her last album and in her tour videos.

"Nope. Like most of us women, we've been sexually harassed or assaulted multiple times in life. Some people have triggers, and you should probably RESPECT that not judge people to do what they are no comfortable doing. If you aren't a women, you will never fully understand. Ever."

Funny for you to say that as you discount the word of countless women of color who have spoken out against Kelly.

And if you don't believe Lifetime several other new organziatios have done very detailed articles on Kelly in the past. Or you can probably still see the video for yourself. And there's no dispute that he married Alyiah when SHE WAS 15.



**edited to add the Mod is right. My apologies for taking this thread way OT.
