Lady Gaga has revealed why she chose to remain silent in the face of rumors circulating during her early career claiming she was a man. The pop star, known for her outspoken advocacy of LGBTQ+ issues, told Netflix’s “What’s Next? The Future With Bill Gates” that she chose not to engage with the misinformation because she felt it was more important to prioritize the wellbeing of others.
Gaga shared that she felt the rumors were a form of bullying, especially considering the impact they could have on young people who might be subjected to similar accusations. She also admitted that she has been accustomed to lies being spread about her since the beginning of her career.
Instead of directly addressing the rumors, Lady Gaga chose to use the situation as an opportunity to spark thought and discussion. She aimed to create a “disruptive point” by drawing attention to the reality of misinformation in the digital age.
The singer also pointed out the irony of the rumors, stating that her performances, which were often seen as theatrical and exaggerated, were in fact the most authentic part of herself.
Lady Gaga’s comments come as she prepares for the release of “Joker: Folie A Deux”, where she will play Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker. Her previous work in “A Star Is Born” earned her both a Best Actress Oscar nomination and an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
The “Born This Way” singer, who identifies as bisexual, continues to be a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and uses her platform to support young people facing difficult situations.
