Lady Gaga's Cocaine Admission Sends Mixed Signals to Fans

By Jo Piazza Posted Aug 8th 2010 05:00PM

Lady Gaga recently divulged to Vanity Fair that she is an occasional cocaine user, admitting she does the drug maybe a few times a year. Earlier this year, Gaga admitted that she did "bags and bags" of cocaine when she was an up and coming star. She also said she doesn't want her fans to emulate her bad behavior.

Uhhh, too little too late, Gaga.

Let's take a moment to think about what she has said. She did a lot of cocaine and it helped to make her famous. She seems to making a pretty strong correlation despite her afterthought asking fans not to be like her.

"Gaga is self righteous about sex and celibacy, that crazy church coming after her gays and her little monsters. She tries to be so pure on those levels as a role model for them which is why admitting cocaine use is actually totally irresponsible of her. She knows how much influence she has over her fans," says 'Cult of Celebrity' author Cooper Lawrence.

"She likes to shock, but this is an area that isn't about shock, its about personal responsibility. As much as I love her, it was a huge mistake to admit to coke use."

Some might argue that back in the seventies and eighties, it was cool for a rocker to admit they smoked pot because it gave them a bad boy, bad girl edginess and that cocaine use is just taking that trope to the next level. Maybe so, but when the majority of your fans are tweens, it's best not to admit to any drug use and if you think saying you're a casual drug user these days makes you seem edgy, you're wrong. It just makes you seem desperate for attention.

"Lady Caca is always trying to do whatever it takes to be controversial... but, it is all so unnatural and contrived . CaCa's latest claim that she is a casual coke user is horrible! Considering that the majority of her fans are tweens... it's just wrong. It is not the message to send to our youth," says Jay Grdina, CEO of Kikster.com, who is now so sick of Gaga's antics he has given her an affectionate nickname.

"Lady CaCa has no class, and needs to learn to stop trying so hard to look cool... she will never be Madonna. She reminds me more of Tila Tequila."

Chatting about casual cocaine use equals a value-loss for Gaga. Not only does it send her young fans mixed signals about what it right and what is wrong and what will help you be successful in the music business, but it makes her seem desperate for controversy. Put that up your nose and snort it Gaga.

I'm not surprised. Nothing she does surprises me. Loser

By Robbie

I totally agree, she's jumped the shark in my opinion. Nothing she does will ever shock me again. Ever, It's just a matter of time before she wears out the public as a whole.

By themeeker

I will never forgive her for giving the finger in NY at the game. The heck with this dimwit. There's more interesting singers out there than this idiot.

Well I work in healthcare,and vie seen what it can do to your brain and how your brain does go down the drain.you can't remember things ,u stare at the ceiling cause u don't know how to function or even answer the drs. Questions so I hope she gets help b4 it's too late.

By forrest

u work in healthcare? u must work the lunch counter in a hospital. the only way cocaine can "fry" your brain is if u do so much u stroke out. the starring at the ceiling thing just doesnt happen. when ur on coke u dont sit still and stare off into space ur moving...constantly. even the daily use of coke wont cause brain damage. I love when people that have never used start repeating all the lies and propaganda the government force feeds you.

By crystal

And when forrest was the last time you looked at your brain? Trying to say that coke, or drugs for that matter, do not wreck havoc on your body, be it your brain or not, is a highly uneducated way of thinking. Just because you have done it doesn't mean you know everything about it.

By jbigmacdaddy74

She wont last long.You dont control cocaine it controls you.It is one drug you can never get enough of she is done,done,done.

By Kelly

Coke is not an addictive drug. Your body doesnt crave and have to have it like other drugs,,, heroin, meth,, etc. Coke is all in the mind. If you still have one you can stop....LOL.... But you DO NOT get a physical need for cocaine. Macdaddy, you sound like maybe your smokin the crack... LOL>

By angl9gddss

Kelly, you're an idiot. I think you must be confusing pot with coke. Cocaine is an incredibly addicitive drug. The physical withdrawls are as bad as meth. It is not as simple as just stopping, like caffine or sugar. Trust me, I've been there, and walked that dark lonely rocky path.

Cocaine makes you love gays. I see it works for somebody.

By Lita

Bless your heart. Then you should feel well-loved.

Wow, Lita that almost a near intelligent reply.

wow she actually doesnt look like a freak on this cover...first time for everything
