i struggle to believe gaga has learned

i dont think she has- she worked with terry richardson as recently as 2016

I struggle not only w/ the clips from the scrapped DWUW video, but also the few live performances they did together of the song were ... ugh. She had to have known about all the allegations/FACTS, and I think she even knew the overtly sexual tones would be ~edgy and ~controversial due to his very past. It was a very poor calculation that reflects her judgment imo.

Now it certainly is possible she's changed her mindset and evolved as a person, but her continued silence on the matter says more than anything.

I highly doubt she has as well. I think she's learned to publicly distance herself from abusers, but still probably believes R. Kelly deserves a second chance. I wonder if she's still BFFs with Terry Richardson.
