Lady Gaga Labelled A 'Slut' By US Politician For Smoking Marijuana Onstage

Lady Gaga Labelled A 'Slut' By US Politician For Smoking Marijuana Onstage 

Lady Gaga's recent antics of smoking marijuana onstage at a concert last week in Amsterdam have caused a US politician to label her as a slut'.

James Molinaro, Borough President of Staten Island in New York City, used the term when referring to Gaga in a recent interview and even added that the singer should be 'hit'.

According to Staten Island Advance - via Billboard, Molinaro said: ''There's Gaga. Here's this, this, I would call her a slut. This slut is influencing many, many children. My niece has two daughters, 12 and 14, they love this woman. Why? Why? So we have a job to do with these actresses, these actors, these ball players."

He continued: "They use drugs as if it's nothing. We shouldn't praise them. We shouldn't honour them. We should really hit them... To me, she's not an actress, she's a slut, in the pure word, in the pure meaning of the word."

After receiving criticism for his comments, Molinaro said: "A slut is someone that's immoral or uses improper conduct. That's the interpretation in the Random dictionary. So she's using improper conduct. So she's a slut. What's the big deal about it? Are you excited because she's female? There's males that are sluts too…"

The singer, who recently finished her UK dates of the tour, was performing in Amsterdam earlier this month, where smoking marijuana has effectively been decriminalised.

Not holding back, she told the audience she was in the “appropriate place” to discuss her passion for the drug.

She added: “I want you to know it has totally changed my life and I’ve really cut down on drinking. It has been a totally spiritual experience for me with my music.”

Throughout the show she joked she was going to talk to President Barack Obama in a bid to make marijuana legal worldwide.

Adding that the drug’s leaf symbol is the “new peace sign”. She added: “It’s like saying everybody needs to take a breath and it’s going to be OK.”

What do you think of Gaga's recent antics? A step too far?
