It looks as though Lady Gaga and Laurieann Gibson have finally locked horns…

Last week, rumors were swirling on the internet that choreographer LaurieAnn Gibson and superstar Lady Gaga had parted ways. The rumors were fueled by a tweet from Gaga, that stated she was warming up with her choreographer Richard Jackson, and later confirmed by both camps. Although some have speculated that LaurieAnn was fired, she released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter saying that it was her decision to walk away.

“I am fulfilled with the work I have done with choreographing all of the iconic moves, creative directing the artist, appearances, shows, directing the tour, music videos, and the Hbo Monster Ball, which was a culmination of my work as its creator and director.

“Recently, Lady Gaga was motivated to take the helm of the creative direction of her career and, as such, I decided to step away. I am extremely proud of her, and, in stepping away, I wish her all the best.”

Before LaurieAnn released a statement, she shut down her ‘Boomkack’ twitter account (changing the name to BoomBetrayer) which led to the media making their own speculations. Us Weekly senior music editor Ian Drew told MTV:

“As a journalist, [Laurieann] is an interviewer’s dream because you’d catch her, and she’d always just say what was going on. Laurieann would just say it. She would give you that perfect sound bite. She tended to be a little bit loose-lipped. But on the other hand, I can see why that maybe ruffled Gaga’s feathers, because Gaga’s all about the performance piece and not giving away too much. Laurieann really liked to take credit — not that that was bad, [and] maybe it was due, but maybe Gaga didn’t want everyone knowing that. In the end, I do tend to think it was something to do with creative differences.”


It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
