Lady Gaga reacts to being branded `slut`

New York: Lady Gaga, who was called a “slut” a few days back by a Staten Island official, took to Twitter to thank another politician who defended her against the remark.

The 26-year-old singer wrote to Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer on her Twitter account, “thanku for your support of my activism as a new Yorker.” “You show political integrity + a modern vernacular,” the New York Post quoted her, as writing. Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro had made the “slut” remark on Monday, during an anti-substance abuse event, pointing to pictures of the ‘Judas’ hitmaker lighting something that appeared looked like a marijuana cigarettes at an Amsterdam concert last week. Stringer later defended Gaga in an interview with the New York Observer’s Politicker website, saying that she “is a social justice activist and a real leader for marriage equality in this country.” ANI
