It was the sure-fire smash that never was. The scrapping of Lady GaGa‘s‘Do What U Want’ video remains one of the most devastating injustices to happen to Pop in recent memory. A fact, yes fact, made worse by the silence that greeted questions surrounding its whereabouts.
The speculation ended today, however, thanks to TMZ.
For, not only have the outlet provided the reason for the visual’s axing, they’ve unzipped a sneak peek at it too.
The clip and the explanation await below…
Via TMZ:
TMZ has obtained the Lady Gaga music video that was SCRAPPED … reportedly because she feared blow back since her co-star was once on trial for kiddie porn and her director is in a swirl of controversy over allegedly sexually assaulting or harassing his models.
Gaga’s music video for the song, “Do What U Want”, was officially put on ice because of vague problems including time constraints and betrayal. The NY Post now reports … sources claim Gaga was in the dark over claims that famed director Terry Richardson sexually assaulted or harassed models — claims that have now surfaced because the models have spoken out. The Post says the models’ allegations have shaken Gaga’s people and triggered her change of heart over releasing the video.
The video is graphic — you see Gaga laying in a hospital bed and R. Kelly plays the doctor. He reaches under her sheet, she moans, and he responds, “Sounds like that medicine’s starting to kick in.” Then Gaga passes out and a party starts on top of her body.
Richardson put himself in the video too — he’s seen snapping pics of naked Gaga while she’s writhing in newspapers and touching herself.
Terry Richardson has vehemently denied doing anything inappropriate with his models.
Wow. On a number of fronts.
For, while we understand the smart decision to steer away from the director’s controversy, we cannot understand why the video itself seemed so…suggestive.
At that point of the ‘ARTPOP’ campaign, GaGa clearly needed something that would be palatable to the masses; yet, beyond looking glossy, the overt sexuality seen above seems “extra” for extra’s sake. Perhaps, its shelving was a blessing in disguise. Although, one has to wonder why she didn’t just shoot a different video?Oh the conundrum.
In any case, now the singer has meatier management, here’s hoping plans are in place for what needs to be an epic comeback; one that sees not just the music be on point (‘ARTPOP’ remains a solid album), but also her image.

She went from copying Madonna to copying Rihanna. Next!
Oh wow finally!
The song has a video but it’s too late now
Should have dropped the video when DWUW was still in
The charts
Didn’t it say leaked tho? They never planned to release this anyway…
Really…. R.kelly & RIchard are known to be pedopiles for years, Gaga is finally hearing about this now? Nope! I don’t believe it. The video wouldn’t of helped her album anyway. Since they shot the video did she still have to pay everyone for the time they all wasted?
Celebs do what they think they can get away with hun.
Who is Richard?
This video reminds me too much of Kelly Clarkson’s Mr. Know It All with all the newspaper clippings on the wall, etc…
Just like her GUY video reminded me too much of Christina’s Fighter.
This is why I never got into her. All of her work is a recycled version of what other artists have already done.
How the fvck is “G.U.Y.” like “Fighter”? They are nothing alike, now you’re really just reaching.
S&M? lol
She’s disgusting. BOTH of them are known paedophiles.
Gosh this chick looks disgusting & pathetic.
Two p********* on one set smh GaGa you’re trash and you have no morals..
But honestly I am a little monster but I really do not like how this video is looking
Not gonna act like I like it at all
@ Julian-
Please watch the video for Fighter that was done in 2002 because clearly you haven’t seen it- then watch GUY and compare. The whole concept you loser!
I’m glad she didn’t put this out. It’s a hot ass mess. And those two child m******** make it look even worse. DWUW is an amazing song and deserves so much more than this.
To be fair, every song on the album that had a video deserved so much more. Applause and Guy were surprisingly mediocre for someone like Gaga.
She knew damn well that R.Kelly and Terry Richardson were sexual predators. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. She knew what she was doing by putting them in a video for a sexual song like this, given there background. This wh#re is absolute trash!! She was probably trying to steal the spotlight back from Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus. She failed.
That’s funny cuz Miley is a w**** last I checked. Katy is fake pretending not to be one. Anyway, they are both fading. Birthday is a flop and so was Adore you! NEXT….
This would’ve damaged the s*** out of her already dead career, not surprised they never let this s*** see the day of light. It looks beyond tacky and desperate. The scene where she’s simulating getting the D is trashy. I almost feel bad for her remaining fans ’cause they have egg on their face after seeing their idol degrading herself to such low level. I said ALMOST ’cause I don’t give a f*** about these losers. That’s the final nail in her career’s coffin.
Everyone was certain after 4 beyonce career was DONE! Little fans ? Rihanna sales are like over 2mil wasn’t 4 like at 2mil nd over? You shouldn’t judge bey still hasn’t gotten herself a Worldwide hit in fact Drunk inlove is her only hit off that album and partition was a moderate hit! What’s bey going to do next shock value not going to help the next album I love bey much more than rih, katy etc but you shouldn’t come for someone else
Does anybody know where I can go to create an account and change my avatar?
You can go to Gravatar.com
What would possess a person to work with a creeper like R.Kelly?
#B****** be crazy these days
S&M’s video impact tho
The same video rihanna stole from a photographer and had to pay him out millions? Bye gorl
Such an attention w****. Dead at her pulling this out as soon as people started talking about Terry Richardson again. I’m happy I dropped this b**** when I had the chance.
You need some d***, hun. You always sound like a miserable little c*** everytime I come on this blog. These celebs don’t know you. You are way too concerned about the charts and their impact in pop culture for someone that is seeing zilch of their millions. You think they know or give a f*** about you? Keep it cute. Peace. Btw, I like Lana. But fans like you really ruin her image with your bratty remarks.
Please lana with her mumbling and talking she calls singing needs a seat! Lama is attention whor.e she wants to be dead and trying to downgrade gaga on songs to get attention
I love the song (and most of the album) but they made the right decision by not releasing this video. GUY video is the right direction when it comes to image. As a musician she´s on point so nothing to say about that.
Ugh this flop is still relevant??? *rolls eyes*
She should have just sang DWUW as a solo in the first place & she wouldn’t be having any of these problems
The video is giving me ‘up out my face’/’s&m’ teas
Good decision!
Lady gaga had to stay with her poker face meets bad romance type of looks not go off and make herself look demonic and terrible I think that’s what turned people of her Demonic ways and Her wanting to create a new race and sh!t and her music sounding terrible nd demonic she had some gems in between but the rest was bullcrap and this is the lady that released the EPIC The fame and monster albums hey
Just through up my hash brown. No more Gaga clips after my meals.
