Lady GaGa Gets Egged For Wheelchair Performance
Lady GaGa finally went too far. After a performance at the Sydney Town Hall in Australia on Wednesday, the eccentric entertainer was targeted by patrons who came armed with a barrage of eggs.
GaGa enraged audience members when she hit the stage in a wheelchair during a performance of ‘You & I’ because she was unable to walk in her mermaid costume. Luckily for GaGa, none of the egg missiles hit her and only members of her entourage were left covered in residue from the attack.
Jesse Billauer, the founder of the quadriplegic advocacy group Life Rolls On, had this to say about the event:
“I invite [Gaga] to learn more about the 5.6 million Americans who live with paralysis. They, like me, unfortunately, don’t use a wheelchair for shock value.”

Maybe this is a hint that people are ready for GaGa to just get on stage and sing without all the unnecessary antics. ‘Born This Way’ isn’t selling any faster so clearly those costumes aren’t helping her cause. Just a thought.

I absolutely love it when Gaga just sits behind her piano and sings. It’s beautiful.
And why the hell would you wear something you can’t walk in?? What a dumbass.

Bette Midler did it, so did Morrisey, so did Kurt Cobain, unless she purposely highlighted something bad about people with disabilities then this story is pathetic. How else is there to come on stage if you are unable to walk in a mermaid costume, people would do anything to make a story about this woman!!

They came to the show with eggs? I guess they saw her do this before and we prepared?
I don’t think she is trying to hurt people with disabilities. Her sales are great. But I’m sure her style, antics and persona help sales.

She is a dump idiot who doesn’t care about the publics feeling. First it was attacking religion, now this? I hope people start to wise up and see its all smoke and mirrors.
WASTEMAN!
