Lady GaGa Stripper Past

March 16th, 2009 by Castina

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.

I know because I was a Exotic Dance at the world famous Deja Vu.

And no matter what we call ourselfs please don’t jugde you know nothing about. You don’t know the reason a felmale or Male becomes to work in this business.

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.
