Lady Gaga brushes off video criticism
Pop superstar Lady Gaga has brushed off criticism of her controversial Do What U Want music video after the raunchy promo leaked online.
The singer released her duet with R. Kelly last year (13), but the accompanying video failed to appear and Gaga blamed the delay on time constraints.
The clip, which features Kelly and was directed by controversial
photographer Terry Richardson, leaked online on Thursday (19Jun14),
and hit headlines for its explicit content, with critics alleging
the saucy scenes appear to condone rape.
However, Gaga dismissed the furor over the promo in a post on her
Instagram.com page on Friday (20Jun14), adding a picture of her
dogs looking bored and writing in a caption, "Stella and Asia after
watching DWUW (Do What U Want)."
She adds in a series of posts on Twitter.com, "Is there a yawn
emoji (emoticon)... this one doesn't look unimpressed enough."
