On Monday, a heartbroken Lady Gaga defined her reaction to posing with Dylan Mulvaney, a man pretending to be a woman, as “hate” in a photo released to commemorate International Women’s Day (IWD). They scattered what they had done and attacked them.
The original photo was shared by Mulvaney as part of Friday’s IWD celebration, but was taken on February 29 at a Clinubell Pharmaceuticals Photomedicine Foundation event, as reported by Breitbart News It is something.
There has been no shortage of criticism of the pair featured in Mulvaney’s Instagram posts, with some questioning Mulvaney’s judgment, and even Lady Gaga, who was born female, has been placed in the “male” category by critics.
Gaga later reposted the image with a lengthy scolding message, imploring her critics to back off.
“That is appalling to me. [that Dylan’s post] You will face such vitriol and hatred. “When I see newspapers reporting on hate and calling it ‘backlash,’ I feel it’s important to be clear that hate is hate and this type of hate is violence,” Gaga said. wrote.
“The word ‘backlash’ would mean that people who love and respect Dylan and I didn’t like what we did. This is not backlash. This is hate. .”
The “Born This Way” singer also regrets that the media fabricated her comment, saying, “Hate is violence.”
Since then, the post has received over 1 million likes and over 24,000 comments.
Mulvaney has been controversial since he rose to fame in 2022 on the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok, which chronicled his so-called gender change by numbering his “girlhood” days.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were quick to praise him as a “brave” activist.
The “trans” social media star soon began monetizing her influencer status with high-priced speaking engagements and brand sponsorships.
One of those ads, the Bud Light partnership, featured Mulvaney plugging into Anheuser-Busch’s flagship beer and receiving a custom beer can emblazoned with Mulvaney’s face, a fateful mistake for the company. .

The ensuing boycott cost Anheuser-Busch an estimated $1.4 billion in losses and dethroned Bud Light as America’s best-selling beer.
Despite the public backlash, Mulvaney, like Lady Gaga, remains the toast of Hollywood’s elite.
In August 2023, he was the guest of honor at a party hosted by comedian Kathy Griffin, alongside pop singer Sia, actress Rosie O’Donnell, and journalist Taylor Lorenz.
