Lady Gaga, the renowned "Edge of Glory" songstress, is facing criticism from fans after revealing that she performed multiple shows despite testing positive for COVID-19. During a Q&A session in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 23, while celebrating the premiere of her Gaga Chromatica Ball concert special on HBO, she made the confession, leading some to express outrage and call for accountability.
According to People magazine, Lady Gaga admitted to performing five Chromatica Ball shows after being diagnosed with the coronavirus, although she did not specify which ones. In a video uploaded to an undisclosed source, she explained that she had informed every member of her team about the diagnosis and assured them that they had the choice not to work or perform if they felt uncomfortable. However, she decided to continue with the shows because she didn't want to disappoint her fans. Lady Gaga argued that her fans willingly put themselves at risk by attending the shows anyway.
Despite her justifications, many viewers at home were not convinced and expressed their disapproval. One person even went as far as to say, "she should be in prison." While some felt this statement was extreme, they agreed that Lady Gaga's actions were irresponsible and not something to be bragged about. Others questioned why she would reveal this information, considering the potential backlash and risk to the health and safety of not just herself, but thousands of people.
The criticism continued to mount, with some calling Lady Gaga a disgrace and predicting a potential class action lawsuit against her. The debate surrounding the appropriateness of her decision to perform while infected with COVID-19 has sparked a discussion among her fanbase, known as "little monsters," with some expressing disappointment and concern over her priorities.
Lady Gaga's decision to push forward with her performances despite testing positive for COVID-19 has raised questions about the level of responsibility artists have towards their crew and fans during a global pandemic. As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen how Lady Gaga will address the backlash and if any legal repercussions may arise from her actions.
