Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Lady Gaga's 2013 single "Do What U Want (With My Body)" featuring R. Kelly has been removed from music streaming services.

Gaga promised on Twitter Wednesday that the track would be removed in response to the multiple sexual assault allegations that Kelly is facing.

Official music videos for "Do What U Want (With My Body)" were also removed from YouTube, however, a video of Gaga and Kelly performing the song at the American Music Awards remains.

"I stand behind these women 1000%, believe them, know they are suffering an in pain, and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously," Gaga said previously. "What I am hearing about the allegations against R. Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible. I'm sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner. I love you," she continued.

Baby, it's cold outside.

down the memory hole.

The cultural revolution has begun.

This what happens when thugs ru(i)n an industry and a government.

This is what happens when nobody OWNS physical copies of things.

>>” I’m sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner.”

translation: “I did what I had to do to advance my career and now that Imma Star, I don’t need him no more, in fact, I can get publicity by rejecting him!”

LADY GAGA AT HER PHONIEST---WHAT HER AGENT TOLD HER TO SAY B/C THEY'RE SCARED STIFF HER CAREER'S GONNA NOSE DIVE:
"I stand behind these women 1000%, believe them, know they are suffering an in pain, and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously.
What I am hearing about the allegations against R. Kelly--singing partner in my mega-bucks song, "Do What You Want With My Body." is absolutely horrifying and indefensible. I'm sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner. I love you."

====================================

Man, oh man...it's a conservative dreamworld out there:

<><> liberal celebrities who sap-happily danced on Roseanne’s digital grave now find themselves held to the same standards........

<><> left-wing comedians are being forced to apologize for innocent jokes now deemed "offensive;"

<><> celluloid stars are beaten down for ancient interviews and social media posts now deemed verboten measured against liberal newspeak;

<><> power players like Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey who led with their penises are being de****ed left and right.

<><> whorish celebs forced to rein in their vaginal twitches and galloping gonads.

https://www.politico.com/click/stories/0910/polanski_backers_gave_34k_to_obama_dnc.html
Roman Polanski backers gave $34K to Barack Obama, DNC

...Movie industry types calling for the release of director Roman Polanski last year gave $34,000 to Obama’s presidential campaign and the Democratic Party, FEC records show.

Polanski’s arrest late last month by Swiss authorities in connection with a three-decade-old California underage sex case has sparked a vigorous national debate about sex, justice and extradition that - thus far - has yet to draw in the Obama administration.

But the most generous Democratic donor of the vocal pro-Polanski contingent, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, in an open letter called on “every US filmmaker to lobby against any move to bring Polanski back to the US, where he could face life in jail.”..

Just started watching the documentary.

I rarely feel this but I think there may be some racism involved here. I think somehow the authorities over these decades have been slower to go after him and slower to protect these black girls. Either that or they are afraid to go after AA famous pedos. Because this guy is flamboyantly a Pedo and has been forever. He admits he was molested as a child and so does his little brother.

Something weird about this case. I do feel that if perps or victims had been white or other, they would have been stepped to. I see a similarity to the serial killers Sam Little or the Grim Sleeper, getting away with it so long possibly because there was less concern for the Black often street women victims.

Big social media needs to be looked at by the DOJ antitrust division if it’s not too busy trying to depose the president.

I so want to swear right now.

It is very unfair to mock the judgment of a 12-14 year old girl like you just did.

It is akin to blaming a 4 year old for getting abducted because the guy told him he had a piece of candy in his car for him.

Many 12-14 year old girls are cowed by celebrity and authority (teachers, counselors, stars, priests, whatever). They might trust them more and they do want what kids of that age want. To be a singer, to be the teacher’s favorite, special attention, whatever.

Think before you blame a minor victim for pedophilia.

TIMELINE OF ALLEGATIONS AGAINST KELLY (but Gaga n-e-v-e-r knew about it)

SOURCE /www.thecut.com/2018/04/r-kelly-sexual-assault-allegations-cult-timeline.html

August 31, 1994: 27-year-old Kelly marries 15-year-old Aaliyah——While Aaliyah’s age is listed as 18 on the falsified marriage certificate, she is underage when she secretly marries the R&B singer at a Sheraton Gateway Suites in Chicago. Neither person ever admits to being married, and just months after the ceremony, the marriage is annulled.

December 2000: The Chicago Sun-Times publishes first major investigation into Kelly’s alleged sex crimes
In December 1996, Kelly is sued by an aspiring singer named Tiffany Hawkins, who alleges that he “engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct” with her when she was 15 and he was 24. The R&B singer claims that Hawkins was spreading “false allegations,” after which he countersues her, but he later settles the initial lawsuit for an undisclosed amount of money. This investigation is first reported by Jim DeRogatis, who has doggedly investigated Kelly’s alleged behavior for decades.

January 2001: DeRogatis receives first Kelly sex tape from an anonymous source ——Because editors at the Sun-Times worry that the woman in the video could be underage, they turn the tape over to Chicago police. DeRogatis later receives another sex tape of the singer having sex with a girl who is alleged to be 14, after which Kelly is indicted on multiple child-pornography charges. In 2008, Kelly is found not guilty on all counts.
Get unlimited access to The Cut and everything else New York.

August 2001: Tracy Sampson sues Kelly for allegedly having sex with her when she was 17——In the lawsuit, obtained by Chicago public radio station WBEZ, the woman claims, “I was coerced into receiving oral sex from a girl I did not want to have sex with. I was often treated as his personal sex object and cast aside. He would tell me to come to his studio and have sex with him, then tell me to go. He often tried to control every aspect of my life including who I would see and where I would go.” Kelly reached an undisclosed deal with Sampson in March 2002.

April 29, 2002: Patrice Jones sues Kelly-—Jones, who says she first had sex with Kelly when she was 16, claims he also coerced her into having an abortion. While MTV reports that Kelly’s lawyers planned to fight this case in court, the singer later settles out of court.

May 24, 2002: Montina Woods Sues Kelly-—The third lawsuit comes from Woods, an adult dancer who claims that Kelly taped her during sex without her consent. Kelly again settles for an undisclosed amount, and Woods signs a nondisclosure agreement.

July 17, 2017: BuzzFeed publishes explosive investigation about Kelly’s alleged sex cult-—In a horrifying BuzzFeed report from DeRogatis, the reporter who broke the story on R. Kelly’s alleged sexual abuse of underage women nearly 20 years earlier, the singer is accused of running a sex cult that preys on young black women. The investigation focuses on two women who are allegedly being held at Kelly’s rental properties — a 19-year-old from Georgia and an 18-year-old from Florida who was 17 when she met Kelly — whom he allegedly submits to emotional abuse. According to the report, this includes “dictating what they eat, how they dress, when they bathe, when they sleep, and how they engage in sexual encounters that he records.” In a later report on Jezebel from reporter Anna Merlan, a woman who was once in Kelly’s inner circle describes seeing the sex cult as “witnessing Stockholm syndrome.” Another woman, Jerhonda Pace, breaks her NDA to speak about having sex with Kelly while she was underage, following DeRogatis’s reports.

October 23, 2017: Kitti Jones speaks out about alleged abuse
In a report for Rolling Stone, Kitti Jones details the alleged physical and emotional abuse she suffered while they were in a relationship together. According to the report, Kelly starved her, coerced her into sexual encounters with women, physically abused her, and constantly monitored her.

April 16, 2018: Woman accuses Kelly of intentionally giving her an STD——In a criminal complaint filed April 9, an anonymous woman and her lawyer told Dallas police that the accuser was “victim of several forms of criminal misconduct by Kelly, including, but not limited to, unlawful restraint, furnishing alcohol and illegal drugs to a minor, and aggravated assault.” The woman reportedly had a relationship with Kelly when she was 19, when she was allegedly being trained to be in his cult.

May 4, 2018: Two more women speak out in BuzzFeed News report——Two new women speak of alleged brainwashing and underage sexual abuse at the hands of R. Kelly to DeRogatis and reporter Melissa Carroll.

This is NOT the same as that.

It is thought control and bullying of the worst kind to kill people’s livelihood and reputation for years old mild talk that was racy but acceptable back then.

It is never ok to abuse children. It’s not a PC gone wild situation.
