Lady Gaga Slammed By PETA as “Out of Her Mind” For Buying Fur

EXCLUSIVE

(GettyImages.com)

Lady Gaga is being slammed by PETA after she reportedly purchased a number of pricey fur coats in Russia over the weekend.

The “Poker Face” singer is said to have bought a Russian sable coat worth about $210,000, as well as a silver fox coat valued around $19,600 at the Helen Yarmak store in Moscow.

Now, PETA is responding to the pop star’s fashion choices in an exclusive statement to Gossip Cop.

The animal rights organization says, “Out of place, out of time, and possibly out of her mind: While the country focuses on rejecting violence and we are deep into the season of peace, giving, and kindness, Gaga is busy decking herself out in a coat made of at least 30 slaughtered animals’ skins.”

This is not the first time PETA has criticized Gaga’s fur-wearing.

In August, the organization blasted her as a “turncoat,” and the singer fought back by calling its campaigns “violent” and “childish.”

    Anyone who spends $210k on a coat has some serious psychological problems!

  • Tony

    She can buy what she wants! PETA needs to find another way to criticize people than to try to humiliate and verbally scathing people.

  • ms_ariz

    PETA slaughters more animals than the manufacturers of fur. The only difference is that PETA doesn’t skin them.

  • Rose

    How?

    Personally, i think PETA probably turns off more people, than encouraging them towards a vegetarian lifestyle. I’d rather wear fur than go naked.

  • maynke

    If celebrities can do what they want because they can afford to, should anyone have been mad at Michael Vick? Animal cruelty is animal cruelty – it’s just that there are many forms. Also, who can believe anything that drops from Gaga’s mouth after she very clearly said she doesn’t wear fur? Either money changes people or she’s a liar.

  • Jin Pak

    so you can stand by and watch an animal skinned alive?

  • ms_ariz

    I think they do it by euthanize. Rather than keeping dogs/cats locked up in animal shelters or running free, they choose to kill them.

    And I agree with you 1000%. The only time I hear about PETA is when they’re bitching about something; never for anything good. … And I’d rather wear leather lined with sheep fur. Hmmm nice and cozy in the winter. :)

  • ms_ariz

    Oh right, like PETA doesn’t kill animals. … And we don’t stand by and watch; we WEAR them.

  • Lindsey

    Yet another reason to not like Lady Gaga. Wearing fur is disgusting..

  • ms_ariz

    Or maybe she like the feel of animal fur on her skin.

  • kiki

    Totally agree. She has the right to wear it but I have the right to find her hypocritical and no longer buy her music. That is how you hit people without violence. Tell your friends and the ones who dislike this and they will also not buy her music. It is a form of non violent protest. My granddaughter who is a big fan will be so sad to see this.

  • http://twitter.com/bingeandpurr bingeandpurr

    So you hate PETA and you’re proud to be a participant in animal cruelty. Bravo, waste of space. Go and get another manicure.

  • http://twitter.com/bingeandpurr bingeandpurr

    Wow you are stupid. You might as well watch them get skinned alive if you buy/wear animal skins. Learn where you get your info from. You are getting it from a lobbying group. Don’t be a sheep and don’t wear sheep. Like read a book.

  • http://twitter.com/bingeandpurr bingeandpurr

    If you like the feel of real fur on you’re skin then you are a sociopath. Maybe you like the feel of blood on your hands too eh?

  • Selbs

    Not that she will ever read this, but I honestly thought Lady Gaga had class even though she appears to be way out on the outer limits, BUT buying fur coats, regardless of the cost, makes a person want to wretch, big time. Fur belongs on animals, the four -footed kind, not two -legged ones, and she has so saddened me. Not possible to ever enjoy another performance. She’s such a hypocrite – regardless of all the phony love she tries to spread around. Shame on you.

  • MissStef

    She’s such a piece of S.

  • ms_ariz

    Wow. First I’m a sociopath and now I’m stupid. And all because I don’t think as you do, live as you do or believe as you do. While you may think you’re sitting high above us meat-lovers and fur-wearers looking down at us in judgment, to me you’re doing nothing more than resorting to childish name calling and criticizing those who are not like you. None of your hate or bullying is going to change our minds and all your ranting is doing is making you an angry individual.

  • alexstorm

    If an animal is dead, why not make use of the pelt? Why did God give us these furry animals? What do animals do? What is their purpose?

  • ms_ariz

    And you hate on people who are not like you. Bravo to you as well. Go back to your polyester clothes and salads and leave us meat-lovers and fur-wearers in peace.

    God, you are delusional.

  • Rose

    I have one of those jackets and it is indeed warm without being cumbersome. And, a vegetarian diet, is not for me. Severe anemia results. I have lived on a farm. I have plucked chickens, I have cried when one was killed. Yes, it demands investigation and humane treatment. Those animals ‘had a life.’. I think we should all be like native Americans and honor their life and consider them a part of our self. However PETA is just a nasty tool. They aren’t interested in creating a more harmonious system, they are concerned with power and money and manipulating the sheep to laud them, while they objectify women.

  • Chris

    The animal would not be dead if they weren’t being used for their fur, dumbass. You’re really trying to use god to defend animal cruelty? Come up with something better for the millions of people who care about animal welfare and don’t believe in god.

  • http://twitter.com/bingeandpurr bingeandpurr

    you are right. It does make me angry that people like you would rather waste time criticizing an organization whose objective is to help animals than actually do anything to help them. you want a peaceful planet, start by not contributing to the torture of animals.

  • http://twitter.com/bingeandpurr bingeandpurr

    if you think this is bullying, try getting your flesh and limbs torn off you while you’re still alive. doesn’t that disturb you in the slightest?

  • PAUL

    I love her, I am sad that she does not see that this is a horrible industry. Sad part is that she has the balls to wear them in public, as most STARS have them but don’t wear them out where people can see…BTW if your going to jump her ass, you better get rid of your shoes, sofa’s and anything else made from an animal….Hypocrites

  • ms_ariz

    If you mean I’m delusional for loving steaks and wearing leather/fur – thanks! If you mean because of what I said about PETA – don’t know much about them except that they bitch … and I don’t care to know.

  • ms_ariz

    Sorry, we’re going to have to disagree about this. I’ve had friends work at meat packing plants and so I know what they do to those poor helpless cows, but that won’t stop me eating hamburgers. I also know about the toxic fumes that are spewed out into the air from automobiles, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop driving my car.

  • ms_ariz

    Actually what disturbs me more is how parents allow their boys to have THEIR flesh ripped off them – all without anesthesia – and without their permission. Doesn’t that bother YOU in the slightest?

  • martina

    She is just an ignorant lunatic who likes to show she cares, but thats only marketing trick. She will smoke dead people if she have to, and if he is well paid…..and if that ” inn”!
    Anyone who is wearing fur is ignorant selfish bastard!

  • Martina

    Dear Tony, PETA criticise her for openly representing animal cruelty. While normal people feel disgusted after they find out how animals are slathered for fur, she, openly expressing her agreement. It’s not important who criticise her, what is important is her pretentious persona and her true ignorance that should be criticised by everyone. We are the voice for animals, as they can not speak. Or don’t you think they matter?!

  • Martina

    Honey, go to PETA page and watch some of theirs videos. My husband could not. Maybe you can, and have some snack.

  • DL

    i guess ignorance really is bliss for you, it must be nice. maybe if you actually thought about the fear and agony these animals go through as opposed to thinking that “someone is trying to tell you how to live your life” you would reconsider your stance. this isnt about me and you and how we live our lives, this is about doing the right thing.

    p.s. i dont believe in circumcision but remember someone gets to choose that (although it should be the individual who’s undergoing the procedure). Animals, have no choice and no voice, we need to protect them and keep them from this savagery, two entirely different things and i doubt you’re doing anything to help anyonebut yourself. But you are here complaining because some of us do try to help (the animals). It’s hard to believe how heartless and compassion-less some people are.

  • Martina

    This is not about PETA!!!!!This is about us! Society! And in this case, one of us! Animals were here way before us,, and this is your way to respect them?! We are humans and are we behave like that?! Animals does not belong to us, in any way!!! A specially not in the way we decide to treat them!

  • Really?

    PETA calling someone out of their mind is sooo the pot calling the kettle black.

  • Martina

    I know people who are eating meat and still do not feel the need to wear fur. Fur is manufactured in poor regions mainly, where there is no other jobs, and we often see workers behave worst then the animals they skinning alive, for little money they got. To see animal shake, still alive , after it got skinned, will make stronger type puke. There is such a thing like ‘ extreme’. And we don’t need to go there. So people who eat meet are not going to do whatever they can just because they are meat lovers. And you know what, everyone who is normal decent human being got that. But we can always see some ” philosopher” who is trying to explain why “shit is good thing to eat”! This world is not about personal approaches. Not any more. It is one multi-corporation superstore. In that store,,money are the only value. Morals doesn’t count any more. Small labourers skinning animals with butcher murderous hand, unable to see them as living organism, all they see are money that are tight and reduced between them and handlers and distributors. Thanks to the demand and trying to survive, this planet are left in a mess without less species every day. Animals cannot feed themselves as there is not enough natural food, and they are in a run between trusting a human or die of hunger. Nature and life is a cycle of balance. Result of such a slather will affect us all. We all share this planet! So to actually need to explained why should we protect animals instead of killing them shows the state of civilisation. You can express your opinion as you wish. But so will rest of us.

  • Martina

    It just make you plain ignorant. You are not the only one. If that’s make you feel any better. Not like you need that.

  • Me

    Peta calling someone out of their mind? Pot meet kettle.

  • ms_ariz

    I don’t need to hear about what others think to feel better. Nor do I care. So be a little child and call me all the names you want. You’re not hurting my feelings one little bit. Your opinion of me and of my beliefs are irrelevant.

  • ms_ariz

    And you stated your opinions loud and clear. But just remember: Spiders are living organisms as well and no one bitches when someone stomped on one. And what about flies? And cockroaches? And coyotes? Do they have the right to live as well? No need to answer – but you will and you’ll make one (or more) last snide comment and I have no desire to continue this.

  • ms_ariz

    I’m not complaining about people who stand p for the rights of animals. I am complaining on HOW they do it. Resorting to name-calling and judging people for THEIR belief is childish. And no, I won’t consider my stance on eating meat or wearing leather/fur – no matter what you or anyone else says. You are truly not hurting my feelings at all.

  • ms_ariz

    Sugarlips, why don’t YOU go to stopinfantcircumcision dot org and watch one of THEIR videos and then and then have a snack.

  • for crying out loud

    you know i like animals but that doesn’t mean i’m PETA’s bitch. make one wrong move and they apparently own your ass. i’m not even a huge fan of lady gaga but i feel like coming to her aid in this. though she doesn’t need it. unless people who wear fur do a cruella de vil and say to an animal “yeah that one” and have it killed for their fur then no one has a right to throw paint on them or say they’re evil. we just had a bunch of evil happened in the world. do we really need to make this an issue? get over it.

  • http://twitter.com/bingeandpurr bingeandpurr

    Yes it does as does a lot of horrible things in this world. I can list them all if you want. But we are talking about fur here aren’t we? So you still haven’t answered the question. Does it bother you that animals are skinned alive to make fur? Simple question.

  • J F

    PETA and GAGA … both out of their minds

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003106338484 Candy Reid

    so fkg stupid.. STFU and go away fkg idiot!

  • ms_ariz

    If places DO skin them alive, then of course it does bother me. Would I still buy leather/fur? Yes. Now a question for YOU: Does it bother you that they slit the throat of a cow – while it’s still alive – and let all the blood run out just so we can have juicy meat? Will you stop eating meat knowing this?

  • ms_ariz

    And you are so intelligent using gutter talk and foul language. Your limited vocabulary is showing.

  • http://twitter.com/bingeandpurr bingeandpurr

    I don’t wear, eat animals, nor do I use any products tested on animals. I have a clear conscience. So, if it bothers you why do you still buy leather/fur? If you see how cows and chickens suffer on factory farms, why do you still eat meat? I’m trying to understand.

  • ms_ariz

    And see this is EXACTLY why I didn’t want to answer you or anyone else. Because I KNEW the next barrage of questions would be the judgmental ones. Why do people ask smokers if they know it’s bad for them? So they can follow up with: then why do you smoke? It doesn’t just end with: ok or I see. No no no. It never ends. It’s like you HAVE to justify your actions/answers. That’s why I do not answer open-end questions. And I was right. Why do you still eat meat? Why do you still wear fur? Why do you still smoke? Why do you still drive a car? Why why why? I do not question you or your reasons for doing what you do or do not do, but yet people like you feel they have the right to KNOW and stand in judgment of what others do or do not do. … Do you go to bars and harass drunks that if they drive drunk they’ll kill someone? Do you question people who have unsafe sex about why don’t they wear a rubber? I bet the answer to both is no. Then why don’t you tell me WHY do you think it’s your RIGHT to ask strangers why they do what they do? Do you honestly think you are doing any good or trying to get a message out? Because you’re not. You’re only harassing people by doing this. You may feel like you have the right to do it, but you don’t. I could go on, but I think I made my point.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003106338484 Candy Reid

    the only limited thing her is your lack of knowledge on anything relevant and now go fk yourself…. dumbasssss!

  • TRUTH TELLER.

    What you have just written is entirely inaccurate, the fur is from animals that where going to be slaughtered anyway, not using their fur would be an injustice to the animal, they use every bit and waste none, so not to dishonour the animal, If you wear leather shoes, have a leather watch or any leather clothing, it is exactly the same principle. You are the hypocrite, not Lady GaGa, Wake up. Shame on you for casting judgement on others that is not yours to cast.

  • TRUTH TELLER

    Dont be so dramatic.

  • TRUTH

    Anyone who believes it has even bigger problems.

  • TRUTH TELLER

    Soe truth for you all – PETA is confirmed as one of the biggest animal killers, they are hypocrites, look it up.

  • Katrina

    You’re completely ignorant. Foxes aren’t going to be slaughtered anyway. Those animals are raised JUST for their fur. Nobody eats their meat.

  • smiles

    …an in russia too! seems fur and homo-bashing run deep there….the last place i’d expect lady gaga…but, there she is.

  • http://www.facebook.com/moniqua.bartilla Moniqua Bartilla

    Lmao are you seriously comparing circumsizing some skin off a babies penis , which for one they don’t remember the pain and two they are still ALIVE afterwards, to murdering a innocent animal in violent ways just so you can have a material possession? You lose any credibility you may have had, ignorant

  • http://www.facebook.com/moniqua.bartilla Moniqua Bartilla

    Also they do not do it without their permission, you are full of ignorance which is not a shock.

  • ms_ariz

    Parents do not ask their infant child permission to cut off his penis. THAT was what I was referring to. And since you are not a male, I do not expect you to understand or even care, unless you did this to YOUR child and refuse to feel guilty about it. And stop insulting. It make you sound like a teenage cyber bully.

  • ms_ariz

    Again with the insults. This is why PETA and their members have terrible reputations. If you support the cause, good for you. Well done. But attempt a little maturity to others who do not agree.

  • ruby dolly

    don’t get me wrong I am little monster and love lady gaga but I also love animals and it really upset me when I saw gaga do this I am not slaming her I forgive her but I really would appreciate it if she stopped wearing fur it makes me sad I hope she considers this if not I may have to reconsider being a little monster
