However, immediately after the event, Lady Gaga's reps sent out a statement saying she was not involved with the project: “She is not attached and will not appear in this project." Gaga, who was supposed to play Cilla Black, the singer's "musical nemesis," had never heard of the project, according to sources.
I feel like either: the filmmakers were in talks with her and the negative reception made her change her mind OR, they were using this as a way to hopefully approach gaga to be in this movie.
How did anyone believe it
