Lady Gaga Music Video Pulled Due to Sexual Assault Claims

Pop star Lady Gaga has pulled her “Do What You Want” video due to controversy around the videos director, Terry Richardson, and co-star R. Kelly.

A source told Page Six ,“Gaga has a video directed by an alleged predator, staring another sexual predator with the theme, ‘I’m going to do whatever I want with your body?’ It was literally an ad for rape.”

Towards the end of 2013 claims began to surface that Richardson had sexual harassed several models. Brands such as H&M had distanced themselves after a widely circulated petition demanded companies to drop Richardson as their photographer. Richardson has since denied these allegations.

During the initial release of the video, the Village Voice ran a feature on R. Kelly that described him as the subject of dozens of “stomach-churning” sexual assault lawsuits in the 90’s, as well as once being tried for alleged child pornography.
