Stephanie Mills Says Lady Gaga Owes Her an Apology

Singer Stephanie Mills says she is still upset about a past encounter with Lady Gaga, alleging that Gaga’s team required her party to delete photographs after Mills performed “Home” at a New York fashion shoot. Mills said during an appearance on The Jason Lee Show that she believes Gaga owes her an apology. Mills recounted that her former manager asked her to travel to the shoot after saying “Home,” her signature song, was Gaga’s favorite. Mills said she initially declined but was persuaded to attend. She described Gaga as showing little reaction while she sang, saying Gaga did not smile or respond noticeably. After the performance, Mills said, she and Gaga took photographs. As Mills and her party were preparing to leave, people from Gaga’s team told them to delete the images, she said. Mills said they were not allowed to leave until the photographs had been deleted and described the treatment as disrespectful. The account was Mills’s recollection of an encounter that she said took place several years ago; she did not specify a date. The reports of her interview do not independently confirm what happened.
