Why is that hypocrisy? “loving yourself” isn’t automatic. 

There’s nothing wrong with promoting a positve message/idea whether it’s something you follow or not… who cares if she suffers from BDD or has issues with herself if she’s giving millions of fans the confidence to feel good about who they are and be themselves?

she’s got a vanity demon on her.   Our society should use that as more of a warning.  She’s fallen to vanity.  It’s a common disease among youths.

I got my first set of wrinkles recently, right between my eyes.  And I wanted to cry.  Then I looked around at everyone’s imperfections and didn’t feel special anymore.  I used to think I was immortal.  I used to look really young for my age then I aged really fast, almost overnight.  And I let go of my vanity demon.

There’s nothing wrong with critiquing your body. It’s when your critique leads to unhealthy habits that there is a problem.

Might be true that she has a problem, might not. More than likely, I’d guess it’s her ‘friends’ wanting someone to give them any attention they can muster, so they’re willing to tell people anything about their so-called friend to find that attention.

Ah, rumors.  To think, some of us honestly believe that they only exist in high school!

I think it’s unfortunate that we expect celebrities to be so different from us. The only difference is more people are watching them. She’s not infallible; no one is. And I don’t suppose “Love yourself” could be as much a mantra to her as it is to some of her fans. It’s called laughing to keep from crying. Some of us do it a lot. 

…And some of us like to dress weird without any reason at all.

She seems egocentric but I still like some of her songs. I would expect that a lot of starlets are self-centered considering the amount of sycophants that surround them. I also think it’s a quality you might just need to get to the top of the music industry.

Last I checked, she wasn’t hiding any of her body. She’s worn outfits were you can see just about everything but her nipples and clamburger. I don’t think it’s facade as much as it is an attempt to stay interesting and eccentric, especially considering the fact that she dressed incredibly normal before she became the Gaga Monster.

It happens to a lot of big stars, I didn’t think it would happen to her though.

I’ve spent hours trying on clothes and shoes while staring in the mirror, not because I hate myself but because I look so sexy and fabulous I love arrogant celebs. the more arrogant the better. I loved how anna nicole smith used to blow kisses at the paparazzi I also love how feisty and stuckup jeffree star is I also like a few modest celebs. it depends.

Easier said than done, we all have our battles. Can’t imagine being under the spotlight like she is.

No hypocrisy; she doesn’t want people to see her symptoms.

Reading this makes it seem as if she wrote Born This Way for herself as much as for other people. I don’t think it’s hypocrisy; she’s human, just like the rest of us, so it’s unsurprising that she isn’t completely at home in her own skin– hardly anyone is. 

Yawn.

oh gaga <3

She has issues, there is no doubt about it. She has spoken about the pressures of fame and how it can be overwhelming etc. How this manifests, I’m not sure. Hopefully just in her crazy costumes, and not as is described in the rumours.

Lupus doesn’t only do that, it can rob you of your sight and other major functions. A family friend has it, and it is attacking her in full force. She had to have her foot operated on recently because of the disease. 

If you think about it, her behavior sounds like a personification of the disease itself. Your body is it’s own greatest enemy. Your immune system finds things to attack when there is no reason to defend against invasion. It is dissatisfied with being idle, so it attacks itself.

Well hair loss is because she was constantly bleaching her hair… and blotchy skin could’ve been anything so those clues don’t sound legitimate. She’s hot – I’d look at myself in the mirror all the time if I had her body

It’s not exactly hypocrisy…if loving yourself were an easy thing to do, we’d all be there…but we’re not. It’s a really, really hard place to reach, mad props to her for promoting it and I hope she can face her demons and find peace with herself.

If anything, it makes me a bigger fan. It makes her seem like less of an unreachable celebrity and more like a real person who I can identify with.

Just because you have self-image issues doesn’t mean you can’t be yourself. I don’t see it as hypocrisy. I believe if anyone was in the limelight like she is they would be somewhat obsessed with what they look like, especially having to deal with a disease like she does.

I know nothing about this. I’m not in the loop about Lady Gaga. 

Its sad shes being hipocritical

So instead of being human and telling people they should love themselves despite of their “flaws”, she should go around spewing negativity and self-hatred.  There is nothing wrong with her message even if she struggles with her own self-esteem. It makes her seem more like a person instead of some kind of icon who can’t and doesn’t fail.

Lupus? Wow, that’s very sad and having it at a young age too.

Hey, all of us has something that we want to change. Why is it that, people think that whatever songs celebrities are singing, it represents them? Not always. I highly doubt Rihanna would shot herself in the head like she did in her video. If you want to find your purpose through songs then that sends a sad message to me.

You shouldn’t listen to rumors.

Lupus causes major organs to fuck up, it’s not just hair loss and blotchy skins. This is so vain I feel like telling the author to fuck off.

no one is perfect! give lady g a break!

If Gaga actually has lupus (and last I heard it was a possibility because her aunt had it), I find this post rather pointless. My mother got lupus at 19 and she was a dancer. She’s still obsessed with her body because lupus has had such a major effect on it. It could be a result of seeing changes in herself that she doesn’t know how to cope with. Anyway, she’s a human being and demons are hard to battle what ever form they take.

First of all, it’s really none of your business.
Adding to that, I think it’s sick how people like to glorify celebrities’ weaknesses.
Primitive predatorial instinct.

Lovelyish has gone downhill

So if a side effect of lupus is blotchy skin, wouldn’t looking in the mirror be looking for outbreaks and the flashy outfits a way of covering up said outbreaks? That doesn’t make her vain. It might make her self-conscious about her illness showing, but who isn’t in that position? I see nothing out of place here.

if the rumors are true, we should listen to her message all the more because she knows what happens when you DON’T love yourself. calling her a hypocrite is ridiculous.

maybe she’s encouraging it because she herself wishes that she could achieve that, and doesn’t want people to end up as obsessed as she is. 

Can I rec all these comments?

Lupus is a terrible thing to go through. Having chronic health issues can really make you sit back and think about the current state of your body, especially with ones that serious. Staring at yourself for hours in a mirror is not even an indication of self-hate. Even at my best self-esteem, where I was not the least bit concerned with how my body looked, I still wanted parts of my body to be different. Not because I was ashamed of them, but because I was genuinely interested in how to make myself look different.

who isnt sick and obsessed with their body??? skinny people are obsessed, chubby people are obsessed…we’re all obsessed.

If she’s feeling insecure about her weight that doesn’t make her a hypocrite, it makes her human.

she needs to follow her own msg. 

Maybe her “love yourself” message is a constant reminder to herself, since she has personal struggles, too. but she also gets rich sharing that message with everyone else. 

I need a message like that. Hm.

doesn’t sound very surprising since she was hospitalized for “extreme dieting”. I hate fake people. But I do love her music haha

@shadesofanna@xanga - no. not everyone is obsessed with their body. but a lot of people are.

it’s not hypocritical. it’s deciding who she wants to be & how she wants to look- & she’s entertaining in the process i think everyone especially entertainers should present themselves the way they want to.

Poor girl. If she has lupus though, she shouldn’t be smoking and drinking… we want our celebrity to be around for a while, don’t we?
