Lady Gaga has millions of Little Monsters around the world, but the celebrities on this
list probably aren't in their ranks.
The "Bad Romance" singer has had so many beefs she could practically make a meat dress out
of them.
Here are stars who can't stand Mother Monster even if a few publicly came around to say
otherwise.
In the beginning of Gaga's career, Perez Hilton was one of her biggest champions.
But the celebrity blogger changed his tune just a few years later, telling an Australian
TV show in June 2014 that the catalyst was a 2011 interview gone awry.
Hilton claimed a question he asked Gaga about her then-boyfriend set the songstress off,
saying:
"The fact that I even brought up that she had a boyfriend made her livid and she stormed
off the set and stopped the interview."
Gaga's interpretation was pretty different, though the timeline matched up in terms of
the ill-fated 2011 interview.
The “Born This Way” singer told Howard Stern in a November 2013 interview:
"He started asking me really terrible questions, and he was being very negative about Born
This Way, and we had had a lot to drink.
He was supposed to be my friend and I felt betrayed, so I started crying.
He's just mad that I don't want to hang out anymore because I don't want to be around
fake people.”
Lady Gaga was slated to collaborate with rapper Azealia Banks on a track called "Red Flame"
for ARTPOP, but the song was never officially released and didn't make the album.
Banks then accused Gaga of stealing the track, even though Mother Monster never actually
released it.
The “Chasing Time” rapper also went as far to accuse Gaga of copying mermaid aesthetics
from her and alleged that the title of her third studio album — ARTPOP — was stolen
from her own self-proclaimed genre name "witch hop."
Gaga never responded directly to Banks, but did tell fans in 2013, "She has a bad attitude."
Not to be outdone, Banks mocked Gaga for supporting Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
Lady Gaga was accused of copying the Queen of Pop for much of her career, but Madonna
never actually commented on it until a 20/20 interview in January 2012.
When asked specifically about Gaga's song "Born This Way," which is often compared to
Madonna’s "Express Yourself," Madonna decided to reveal how she really felt, tea and all.
“It feels, uh, reductive.”
“Is that good?”
“Look it up.”
Madonna kept quiet until February 2015 when she sassed to Rolling Stone:
"The only time I ever criticized Lady Gaga was when I felt like she blatantly ripped
off one of my songs.
It was just that one issue.
And everybody's obviously run with it and turned it into a huge feud, which I think
is really boring…I don't care anymore."
Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera get along beautifully now and even collaborated on a
remix of Gaga's song "Do What U Want," but they had a pretty vicious history thanks to
their respective teams.
Aguilera seemed to start the beef, telling the Los Angeles Times in November 2008:
"This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago.
I'm not quite sure who this person is, to be honest.
I don't know if it is a man or a woman.
I just wasn't sure.”
Uh, rude.
A month later, Gaga reportedly responded to Aguilera’s comments by saying:
"Well, it was very flattering when it happened [...] a lot of people in America didn't know
who I was until that whole thing happened.
It really put me on the map in a way."
Well, that’s one way to look at it.
In June 2010, Lady Gaga caused a stir when she sat in Jerry Seinfeld's box at a New York
Mets game, wearing only a bra, cheeky shorts, and raised her middle finger at the crowd.
Unsurprisingly, Seinfeld wasn't at all impressed with Gaga’s antics.
The funnyman later said:
"I'm not one of these all-publicity-is-good people [...] I don't understand how this is
good for her, but I'm sure she understands her milieu better than I ever could."
The comedian continued by lamenting stardom and publicity in the 21st century, saying:
"I don't know what these young people think or how they promote their careers [...] Wake
me when it's over.
Get an act.
Rhinestone bikinis and giving people the finger.
She is talented.
I don't know why she's doing this stuff."
Lady Gaga has used her platform to open up about her experience with sexual assault in
an effort to encourage and inspire fellow survivors … even though it hasn’t always
been easy for her to do so.
However, in December 2016, Piers Morgan took to Twitter to attack Lady Gaga's claims that
she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of her experience.
The host tweeted:
"Lady Gaga & Madonna have both made ALLEGATIONS of rape many years after the event.
No police complaint, no charges, no court case.
I fear [sexual assault has] become the latest celebrity accessory…I wouldn't automatically
believe anything either Madonna or Lady Gaga claimed about their lives."
Gaga replied:
"If anyone in your family suffers from [PTSD], I pray they have more good days than bad.
It has affected me & my whole family.
I would also love to talk with you about PTSD [...] it's not just a 'military' disorder.
There is a mental health youth epidemic."
Morgan responded, claiming that because he comes from a big military family, he gets
angry when he feels a celebrity is using PTSD to promote themselves.
The pair then agreed to have a sit-down interview, to which Morgan said:
"I'll press my meat suit."
Gaga clapped back:
"If you continue to shame me in the process of kindly agreeing to interview [with you]
I'll happily do the interview with someone else."
Of course, the interview has yet to happen as of the making of this video...and Morgan
has since publicly said he regretted causing a conflict with the pop star in the first
place.
