Liberals can argue “it’s art” all day, but it’s disgusting and it’s morally reprehensible.
Young people deserve better role models.

Journalist Ian Miles Cheong wrote, “Lady Gaga has a woman puke on her bare chest while she plays the drums. Totally normal stuff.”

The Origins of the Video
The controversial video dates back to March 13, 2014, and was shot during an event titled ‘South by Southwest (SXSW)’ in Austin city in Texas State of the US.
Lady Gaga performed for about an hour on stage. During the course of her concert, she called upon one ‘Millie from London’ on stage. As per reports, Millie Brown happens to be a professional vomit painter.
At about 18 minutes into the programme, one could watch the painter throwing up florescent puke onto the chest of the American singer.
“Inviting a female friend onstage who was gulping coloured liquid from a bottle, Lady Gaga sat down behind a drum kit not long into her hour-long set to play her song “Swine” — and was soon showered in a regurgitated version of that liquid as her pal leaned over the star and vomited on her,” read a report by LA Times.
While many are led to believe that the video is recent and a manifestation of ‘woke culture’, it is clear that the disturbing footage is about 9 years old.
