The second half of Lady Gaga‘s 2012 is primed to be a big one for the pop star, what with the release of her first fragrance, “Fame”, the release of her new single and the gears shifting on promotion of her new album, ARTPOP. But all these steps forward didn’t come easy, as indicated by a heartfelt, fairly depressing message Gaga shared with her fans on her social networking site, LittleMonsters.com.
In her emotional post, the pop star refers to the past year as “a challenge” that consisted of fights with her label, difficult directors who wanted to pigeonhole her, the end of friendships based on betrayal, “massive struggles with my body image” and “the incessant dragging of the most important single of my career in dead-beaten-horse-mud” — which could only refer to Madonna‘s consistent wringing of Gaga’s “Born This Way” (in interviews as well as part of her concert tour).

Via LittleMonsters.com:
Today is a really happy day for me. The past year was a challenge, and I’m so happy to have my spirit back. I felt in chains at times. Whether is be the record label disagreeing with me on single choices, or directors who could only create an idea of “gaga” or what i’ve “done before” and not able to move forward, and there was also of course the incessant dragging of the most important single of my career in dead-beaten-horse-mud. Then there were all the personal moments. Betrayed by lifelong friends, mentors I’ve had for years suddenly taking advantage of me, and a massive struggles with my body image.
I’ve grown and left most of these things behind, the monsters of fame are very real. But I wanted to thank you for baring with me a little bit. Today’s film is what happens when there is love and respect amongst creatives, teams, management. This project was run solely by the HAUS OF GAGA, ATOM FACTORY, AND STEVEN KLEIN’S fantastic team. I am feeling blessed to have removed those from my life driven by money and luxury, its all about the art of it. I feel free today.
Thank you for always being there for me monsters.
I love you.

The “film” in question is the erotic horror nightmare that is the commercial for her “Fame” scent, which premiered today, by the way.
The message ends uplifting enough, with Gaga announcing how “free” she feels now that she’s banished so many negative forces from her life. But man, that’s a lot of heartache to go through in a year. We’re especially concerned about the singer mentioning her body issues, as she once struggled with an eating disorder. And as for Madge’s non-stop, bratty bitching of “Born This Way”, we’d be majorly upset, too, if one of our idols continuously poked fun of our song we wrote with genuine intentions (even if she does sorta have a point).
Here’s hoping things are looking up for Gaga in her new album era.

poor gaga another one of her victimhood rants, woe is me, people are mean to me…blah blah blah.. embarrassing.
Madonna is a bully
Bullsh@t.
and lady gaga has the most bullying fanbase. haha
Oh please. Madonna is a strong woman who doesn’t take crap from nobody. including psychotic little carbon copies, like this one.
She brought it all on herself. Pick better friends and stop stealing from other people. That alone will make for a better year, even if it is only AUGUST!
See every female recording artist after Madonna has taken a page from her book but which every way they do it it’s evident that Madonna was the influence and most are not afraid to say it, some like Britney Spears, Christina, Pink, will credit Madonna not just for being their biggest influence but being their biggest admiration too. With Lady Gaga is different she not only blatantly rips off everything Madonna but she acts as if she invented it and is 100% original which is why the media compares here every little move with Madonna because she has become not just a poor Madonna imitation, but a joke!

Goodness, poooor little Gaga!! I’m, like, totally crying as I type this!
Not that this is really saying anything at all from her. Not that she would dare. I guess she’ll leave it at the time she bit the journalist’s head off and called him “retarded”. Perhaps that was enough, though. She’s just so lovely! How could you not feel sorry for her? Life on the upper east side was clearly hell for her.
Gaga got lip injections because she was born that way!
LOL well if you believe that then I feel sorry for you.
Becky,
Gaga did not mention anything about Madonna in that quote. “Mentors” are people who actually worked and guided you in whatever you’re doing. If she considers Madonna as a “mentor,” then she is delusional. Madonna would be more like an “Idol.”
I’m glad Gaga feels better though. I appreciate her (and her team’s) art and presentations. Looking forward for new music and visions.
“…the incessant dragging of the most important single of my career in dead-beaten-horse-mud.”
That’s the Madonna reference. Not the “mentor” part. I never said Gaga considered Madonna a mentor.
It appears you will discover internet sites together with sites devoted to a lot of fun-based activities, like television programs, audio, life connected with stars, or anything else.. . But I in fact can not obtain internet sites together with sites devoted to looking at, regrettably a strong postscript relating to pastimes.. . Everybody realize certain in fact widely used together with great versions? Vintage together with active document are generally trendy when camping, since i have read through simultaneously.. . Thank you a lot! =o). man air max griffey
YUK – GO AWAY… have another donut… she brought this all on herself… she has literally done NOTHING but rip off other artists and encouraged the biggest group of little monster bullies while claiming to be the spokesperson for anti bullying… YAWN
Hello,
Lady Gaga, You are my favorite female artist ! I write songs, 1,794 songs so far, many of them are intended for you. Would you like me to email them, and sing them on a tape for you ?
I grew up in NY, I was hit severely by an uninsured driver, and that was just the start of the hell I’ve suffered, Walgreens pharmacy in Port Saint Lucie, Florida put me through hell because I have a high pitched voice, they assumed that I was a younger Kelly Brennan, and never gave what the doctors wrote down, they put me through hell for 8 1/2 years. Then they made me sign an agreement stating if I told how they almost killed me to others during the first 8 1/2 years, I’d have to pay all of their court and lawyer fees. Peter Ddubins was fired from news 12 after he showed the facts to them, news 12 contacted Walgreens, and Walgreens made me sign an agreement stating that if I told others of how the almost killed me, that I would have to pay all of their court fees, and lawer fees too, EEK !!!! The agreement ended June 4th of last year.
