This morning news broke of the disturbing Lady Gaga and R. Kelly video that was scrapped after sexual assault allegations surfaced against director Terry Richardson.
The terribly-titled “Do What U Want” video was nixed by Gaga because, according to TMZ, “she feared blow back since her co-star was once on trial for kiddie porn and her director is in a swirl of controversy over allegedly sexually assaulting or harassing his models.”
Uhhhhhhh, yeah.
That’s certainly a different kind of “Bad Romance” than Gaga is used to.
And now TMZ has a 33-second clip of the video — because obviously of course they do — and it’s creepy as fuck. R. Kelly plays a doctor who pretty much tells Gaga the patient that she’s going to be pregnant once she wakes up for anesthesia. They get a little bump n’ grind going on over her lifeless body.
Some background on the video before the clip, via TMZ…
Gaga’s music video for the song, “Do What U Want”, was officially put on ice because of vague problems including time constraints and betrayal. The NY Post now reports … sources claim Gaga was in the dark over claims that famed director Terry Richardson sexually assaulted or harassed models — claims that have now surfaced because the models have spoken out. The Post says the models’ allegations have shaken Gaga’s people and triggered her change of heart over releasing the video.
The video is graphic — you see Gaga laying in a hospital bed and R. Kelly plays the doctor. He reaches under her sheet, she moans, and he responds, “Sounds like that medicine’s starting to kick in.” Then Gaga passes out and a party starts on top of her body.
Richardson put himself in the video too — he’s seen snapping pics of naked Gaga while she’s writhing in newspapers and touching herself.
Get ready to need a shower after this. Only a matter of time before TMZ posts the entire thing, which makes Dave Chappelle’s infamous “Piss On You” parody seem like a Disney film.
