Lady Gaga has tackled detractors head-on about her weight. Now, she's facing trash-talking politicians.
The pop star has come under fire by a Gotham politico who chastised her for recently smoking pot onstage during a concert in Amsterdam.
The remarks were made on Monday by Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro at a kickoff event for a youth anti-drug program at Staten Island's Borough Hall, where he lashed out at the pop star for lighting up onstage.
"We have to understand that there's a tremendous influence with our youth, which I didn't have as a youth," he reportedly said, per the Staten Island Advance. "And there's the influence right there. Stop glorifying the drug use."
He then added: "There's Gaga. Here's this...this...I would call her a slut. This slut is influencing many, many children."
Molinaro, 81, stood alongside a poster showing a blown-up image of Gaga smoking a joint and later noted that his niece "has two daughters, 12 and 14, [and] they love this woman. Why? Why?"
He also made sure to fire off this parting shot: "To me, she's not an actress, she's a slut...in the pure meaning of the word."
The diss arrives a day after Gaga boldly addressed criticism that she had gained weight, posting a raw and elemental photo of her in her underwear with the caption "Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15," and subsequently urging fans to "join a body revolution."
