Singer was pictured leaving hotel in fur coat
Lady Gaga has never been one to do anything quietly so when she was pictured in Bulgaria wearing what appeared to be a real fur coat her fans were not happy.
The singer, who kicks off the European leg of her ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour this week, took to her Twitter account just to confirm that the garment she was wearing was real
The pop star wrote to fans: ”For those press and such who are writing about whether or not my fur is actually real, please don’t forget to credit the designer HERMES. Thank You! LOVE, gaga.”
Gaga, who was recently slammed by animal charity PETA for wearing a pink fur coat, then received a backlash from fans who simply couldn’t believe what she’d done.
One fan tweeted the singer: ”I love and respect you Lg, but which is it. You said you hated real fur but now you’re wearing it??”
While another added: ”How could you? That’s so messed up, I thought you stood up for better values than fashion at the cost of animal suffering.”
Last week PETA targeted the singer by writing her a personal letter asking her to no longer wear fur: ”Many of your gay fans, I among them, have long admired what you told Ellen: “I hate fur, and I don’t wear fur,”‘ wrote Dan Mathews, Senior Vice President of PETA.
”What happened? Are your stylists telling you that it’s fake, or are you a turncoat?”
”Many gays are animal advocates because we recognize that the same arrogance and indifference that some have toward animal suffering has at times been directed toward us personally because of our orientation,” he added.
”By wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you’re making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian. As we plan our fall campaigns, please tell us whether what you gracefully told Ellen was heartfelt or just a pose.”
Lady Gaga’s tour will arrive in the UK next month for two dates in London and one in Manchester.
