Lady GaGa Stripper Past
Monday Morning Shocker: Pantless wonder Lady GaGa used to be a stripper.
Lady GaGa has revealed that, before she shot to the top of the charts with her funky single “Let’s Dance,” she worked as one of those other ladies of the night, stripping and swinging on poles all over the Tri-State area.
We could hardly believe it either! Who would have thought someone with such a prim and proper stage act would have a background in the sex industry?
“I was working in strip clubs when I was 18,” the singing star dishes in an interview with Fabulous Magazine. “Girls from my background weren’t meant to turn into someone like me,” she adds.
“I come from a wealthy Italian family, went to a good school [she was at the same super-rich Manhattan Catholic girls’ school – Convent Of The Sacred Heart – as Paris Hilton],” GaGa explains. “You’re meant to live with Mom and Dad until they die. I went against all I was brought up to be; I moved out of home, wouldn’t take any help from my parents [her internet entrepreneur dad and his business partner wife] and supported myself with waitressing jobs and stripping.”
It was around this time she began using drugs heavily.
She says, “My act was pretty wild. I’d wear black leather and dance to Black Sabbath, Guns N’ Roses and Faith No More. Very rock ’n’ roll. I don’t like to talk about it too much but there were drugs, serious drugs,” she says. “I wouldn’t want to inspire other people to do the same.”
Nonetheless, Lady GaGa doesn’t regret her past as a stripper.
“I discovered a real personal freedom through it….I was drawing huge crowds, setting hairspray alight on stage and dancing madly…I have a strong sense of my own sexuality. I love the naked human body and I have huge body confidence.”

Hey Stephanie, if you rely on celebrities to teach you morals and values, then you're the one with issues, not Gaga.

i think the fact that she was a stripper gave her the experience to make her music as REALISTICALLY hot as they are. it's not like Britney spears who basically sings about wanting to get naked and screw any man within 10 feet. she makes her music videos hot but she still strong. i'd put her on par with shakira personally

whats so bad about stripping? In Sweeden topless women hold up the speed limit signs. All it is, is dancing naked. Its socially acceptable for men to go as a client, so why is it so bad for a girl to work there?

I agree with 'steve' (WEUA) – in all her music videos she is a strong woman – you get a vibe that she's always in control – something most women should aspire to. I guess she's very lucky to be working in the music business now rather than wasting away her talent and uniqueness on drunks at strip clubs. At least as an artist she can express her identity and fashion and its all classiffied as pop anyway. In the 'real' world your looked upon strangely if you where red tights under a bright apple green dress, with a boulder hat – it happened to me! People are used to always seeing what they expect – Lady Gaga pushes those boundaries broadening peoples views and perspectiuves. I for one feel better knowing that there are creative people out there doing what they love. Also just wanted to add that there's no point in banning her video clips – most of them aren't really sexual, in fact some of the dance moves she does a pretty old school – nevertheless i still enjoy them.

There's a different between a Exotic Dancer and a Stripper, I think she use to be a Exotic Dancer. Some dance's don't even know their a diffierent.

At the end of the day most guys end up at strip clubs at some point in their lifes and so do a fair few women….so what does it matter. She's got a nice body, so taking her clothes off for money would have been a good start in life for her.

You people are judgemental idiots. They don't manipulate unless you let them manipulate you. Don't say strippers are all dirty whores because of what they do. No reason to lose respect just because of her past; She got much farther than you did. The human body is just a vessel, flaunt it if you got it, cover it if you dont, please.

First of all, I am sick and tired of people badmouthing strippers and dancers. Second I think anyone who peacefully entertains other people weither it be with their body, dancing singing or any combination deserves credit where credit is due. Get it through your thick society twisted heads. There is nothing sick or morally wrong with the human body..We all have one and it is the most pure and natural thing we posses as humans. Sex is the only thing that sustains our existence, without sex the human race dies. It is immoral acts such as robbery and murder that we should be concerned with, The showing of the beauty God has blessed us with is no crime.

Wow i read all these comments and I don't think I could have felt any more stupid than when I am if i was unconscious. However, I would like to comment on how "entertainment hott" Lady GA GA is. She is one of the hottest female artists ever! She has 4 #1's from her debut album! I don't care if any of you idiots like her or not. The woman knows what sells and how to make money in her industry. Stop be envious of her success and go to a junior college and get a FUCKING degree you moronic degenerates! Some of you need to order "hooked on phonics" and learn you damn native language. Oh and the DAD with three girls that has a 6yr old trying fuck the boy next door just means you need to spend more time with your family. Try spanking them when they fuck up…humans respond well when you break them down…JUST ASK OUR ARMY!!!

Dustin and get a life have excellent points… Parents that let their kids watch TV or play on their computers in the middle of the night are Not doing their parental duties, sometimes you do have to give firm guidance to your kids when they refuse to listen. Now, for the others that are homophobic or just plain jealous of people like Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert, as get a life said "Get A Life !!!" Stop complaining about others who worked and got Filthy Rich because dancing, showing skin and homo-sexuality is as old as time itself, and as long as these Stars including Britney Spears, Milley Cirus and the next generation of stars are talked about because they made some waves, they will just keep on making more and more money and I think they deserve it for entertaining millions around the world. Keep on spreading the news, it's just more publicity for them. While putting down others that made it and will keep on making it no matter what you say about them is really unsophisticated especially when most of you can't even write or spell properly and complaining aboub the famous will Not make you rich. Hats of to Lady Gaga, she had a dream and went for it, even if she had to dance in some sleazy clubs to make ends meat but she made it and now she's famous and talk about her all you want until you go Gaga…

Lady Gaga makes me sick. She is SO full of herself, she actually believes she has talent.
Ashamed of her past? There are a lot of dancers who do NOT do drugs or get money for sex. She must not be one of them.
I don't believe she is pretty enough to make money as a dancer. Besides, a dancer needs to have personality to make it.
She's a pig and should be ashamed of her act NOW! She crosses too many lines.

Honestly, would you want someone judging you on your past? She’s great at what she does, and her music is fun and addictive! My 2 year old son loves her music, but would I ever let him watch her on TV? Absolutely not. He is too young for that. But his favorite song is Pokerface!!!
I wouldn’t want someone to judge me on what I did 5 years ago. That is not the same person I am today, so maybe you should worry about your own past and quit dwelling on someone elses. If you don’t like her music, then turn off the radio and the TV!

Wow. I love her more for this. As a dancer, exotic entertainment builds character and self esteem. There are right and wrong ways to go about being a sex worker, and without dispute, Lady Gaga is damn successful no matter how she achieved her fame.
Rock on!

There isn’t a person in this world who hasn’t done something someone else doesn’t like. So get off your high horse and grow up. You have to give props to someone gaga, she became famous without being born with money or being just another boring actress turn pop star. shady past and secrets that you want no body to know about exist in everyone’s lives. There isn’t anyone in this world who has a picture perfect past no matter how much you try to act like you do. Gaga at least lives her life honestly. She doesn’t run around claiming saint hood like allot of you idiots on here. As for your kids I have five and the first job of a parent is to educate their kids on the difference between T.V. and reality it ain’t Gaga’s fault your child can’t make that distinction. its yours!!!!! I love her music and all you self proclaimed saints can go suck an egg, and I’m being nice. Teach your kids the difference between T.V., entertianment and reality hell pretty soon your gonna blame movies like rush hour, matrix, scar face, boys in the hood, and others throughout history for teaching your kids to use guns, be hookers, kill people and use drugs, hell its all a form of entertanment and as an adult you should know the difference and should be able explain it to your kids. And anyway you don’t like her then take the remote, you know the thing with buttons and change the channel. Its shocking to read how many people wanna pass the buck and blame TV and entertainers for how their kids act. Its your fault stupid, your the parent and the adult so start acting like one and own up to the fact you didn’t do your job right. Lady Gaga is refreshingly original, and her music video might be edgy to some but thats what make so many people love her. she’s not afraid of what hipocrits like yourselves have to say, she creates her videos and sings her songs in a way the is enjoyable to her. I wish my job was something i enjoyed doing everyday. Lady gaga you keep it up and keep giving these make believe saints something to wag their tongs about, cuz obviously they have some deep rooted need to trash others to deflect blame of themselves for their own fuck ups. Oh and by the way you facid idiots I am a psychology major and Drug and alcohol councelor so trust me you have unresolved issues and you deflect blame so you can continue living your life believing your fooling everyone into thinking your innocent. Well your not so own it and take time to be a parent, STOP BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR YOUR FUCK UPS!

Oh and one more thing there isn’t anyone of you adults who are complaining about how your little girls act, who haven’t read playboy, penthouse or even watch porn. So honestly where do you get off complaining about someone, who you can control if your kids watch, that has worked in the catagory of adult entertainment that you yourself have enjoyed. Rather it was when you were young or at your age now if you have ever entertained yourself with any form of “adult entertainment” then you personally enabled the adult entertainment industry to thrive by financially investing in it. Magazines, porn, “men’s clubs”, bordellos, movies, strip clubs, exotic dancers-AKA STRIPPERS. if you have envolved yourself with any of this areas you my friend are part of the reason that job market exists.

-Ya and I’m 16. All of u stupid parents who thing, O lady gaga is influencing the way our children act. Well let me tell u something, u might not want to hear. If ur child is 10years old or older, they know how they were created. Just saying. No matter how good they may seem, kids talk, u cant do anything about it. They knew way before they started to listen to gaga. So don’t both giving them the sex talk at 14 or 15. They know! -_-
