Imagine that you are a pop star who wrote a song called “Do What U Want” that prominently features the line “do what you want with my body.”
Now imagine that you invite a singer who has been the subject of several lawsuits alleging sexual assaults on minors to be the featured artist on the song.
Then imagine the song’s music video is directed by a photographer who has been accused of exploiting models and coercing them into sexual activity.
Though Gaga previously blamed video delays on people who “gravely mismanaged [her] time and health,” it’s easy to see why her team never let this video see the light of day
"Gaga had a video directed by an alleged sexual predator, starring another sexual predator. With the theme, 'I’m going to do whatever I want with your body'? It was literally an ad for rape,"
It’s worth noting that she never actually dropped said video, but Gaga only barely gets credit for that, since apparently it wasn’t her decision not to release it. It was, however, her decision to collaborate with accused rapist R. Kelly in the first place, particularly on a song with lyrics like ‘do what you want / what you want / with my body’. I’m sure his underage accusers really appreciated that choice, as well as your decision to have the video shot by accused sexual predator Terry Richardson.
