Lady Gaga Says Her Father Saved Her From A Deadly Cocaine Habit
Posted on Tue Sep 8, 2009 07:42 AM PDT

ladycoca200.jpg LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Lady GaGa has revealed that her father saved her from a deadly cocaine addiction several years ago, and since the mini intervention, she has lived a much healthier lifestyle.

In recent interviews, GaGa admitted that she spent hours snorting cocaine by herself in her New York City apartment, playing songs by The Cure on repeat. The superstar said, "My father is a really powerful man, a telecom guy. So he looked at me one day and said, 'You’re f*ckin' up, kid.' And I looked at him and thought, 'How does he know that I’m high right now?' And he never said a word about the drugs, not one word. But he said, 'I just wanna tell you that anyone you meet while you’re like this, and any friend that you make in the future while you are with this thing, you will lose.' And we never talked about it again."

GaGa says she began doing coke regularly in 2005 after dropping out of NYU, and at one point she even thought she was going to die. “My cocaine soundtrack was The Cure. I loved all their music, but I listened to this one song on repeat while I did bags and bags of cocaine. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with me until my friends came over and said, ‘Are you doing this alone? 'Um, yes. Me and my mirror.' But I was able to stop, because I was panicking more on the drugs than I was sober. So I'm fine now."

In an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year, GaGa also said she used drugs to drive the inspiration for her eccentric hair and makeup. She said, "It was quite sick. I suppose that’s where the vanity of the album came from."

Lady GaGa is an inspiration to our youth. She portrays true life stories and turns her sadness into hope for them. Reach for the stars. I see you staying on top of the spectrum within the music industry for your talent and honesty. That's what our kids needs today.

If you think lady gaga is an inspiration to our youth you need your head examined.

The only inspiration Lady GaGa has on our youth is if they can look at her and say "That's who I DON'T want to model my life after."

The problem with todays youth is that they dont have parents like Lady Gaga's father. They have parents that are in denial and think their kids are angels, or parents that are to cowardice to confront their own children. Parents too self involved to be parents.

I wish that my parents would have been straight with me like that. She isn't the best role model though. But we all have our skeletons!

I have met Lady GaGa in NY. She is a true Artist. Who has done what of our teenagers have done. I can tell you that she is not that same person she was. She will be more successful in her career then you bloggers who post nasty things about her. Lady GaGa stay on top and prove to the world you are what.I saw. An Inspiration to our kids.

Sounds intense, who wants to bet this never happened and she just wants attention....she did bags and bags of cocaine by herself? Get real...all this girl/guy wants is attention, i have lost all hope for the world if this is the kind of parents we need in todays world.

i personally feel that lady gaga is a GREAT role model, yeah she has made mistakes but really who hasn't? not one person can sit there and say that they havent made mistakes, but she came back from hers better than many people could have she is a strong amazing woman. and no she wasn't saying this for attention you just dont understand lady gaga. and if you did you would understand that she is deep,and her music is to show people who she really is. you might not like lady gaga or what she has done in her past but she accepts what shes done and shes grown from it. yes her father saved her life but so did she because she could have continued to snort cocaine but she didnt, and she used her experiences in her art so dont think that she is a bad person or that shes making it up for attention because maybe you're just narrow minded and you dont understand her.

Lady Gaga is a human being just like the rest of us. I have had my share of experiences with cocaine and can honestly say I've done the same thing. She's honest people! Give her some f***ing credit! It takes a lot to do that with millions of fans/people...Also, some of her "stuff" is kinda creepy, but hey if that's her therapy so be it...Sometimes people have messed up childhoods and grow up with complexes. She's not perfect people. She may even have her issues, but she's doing it in a truly artistic way. She's using it to her advantage! Smart woman. Madonna did it her style too. Can't blame 'em. If this is what people mean when they say she's an inspiration and a great role model, yeah I totally agree. It depends on the person. It takes guts and persistence to be greatness that lasts....So, in short, she's doing a great job of getting attention and staying sober doing it (which just goes to show it's not the drugs talking; its the soul). Go with the flow wherever it takes you. Just be good to yourself!

Here s my take on Lady Gaga:
She is very corporate business woman. Smart, cultured and a new yorker from the right part of the city she is also sharp, wise, beyond her age by all her early experiences. Don't let her fool you she know what her fans want, and she gives it to them.
Lady Gaga father must be advising her in how to invest her money, I'm sure of that.
Her father is sharp and smart business man. I'm a fan at 62!
But I can read all over her business plan for now and the future. She will be famous for a long time, she will follow Madonna example and will change every time to keep up there. Now for all of you young people out there follow your dreams combined with Lady Gaga business plan and you will be very very successful!!
Lets not forget she comes from wealth and with a very sharp smart corporate father. Lady Gaga know exactly what she is doing.

Do not be surprised one day to see a 62 year young dressed
like her, and jumping up and down with all of you wonderful, brave and beautiful youth!
OOOH IF I COULD BE 25 AGAIN, hahahah!
