Lady Gaga Apologizes for Working with R. Kelly

Following the documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” a lot of entertainers have been distancing themselves from the embattled singer/songwriter.

Lady Gaga recently offered an apology for her 2013 collaboration with R. Kelly, “Do What U Want.” 

“I’m sorry, both for my poor judgment when I was young and for not speaking out sooner,” she wrote, citing her own trauma from being sexually assaulted. “My intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn’t processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life.”

While many have applauded her change of heart, some question the timing especially considering she defended the song when it was released.
