Lady Gaga Tweets "Pop Singers Don't Eat"; Causes Controversy

As she gears up to embark on her Born This Way Ball world tour, Lady Gaga is working out and streamlining her diet to get in the best shape possible for the trek. Since the concert series kicks off on April 27 in Seoul, South Korea, the pop star only has about two more weeks to get her body ready for those revealing couture stage costumes!


A recent tweet from Mother Monster about her diet and fitness routine have left her Little Monsters concerned for her health and critics blasting her for setting a potentially harmful example. "Just killed back to back spin classes. Eating a salad dreaming of a cheeseburger," Gaga posted to her Twitter page earlier this week (April 10). "Pop singers don't eat," she announced in the hastag that followed.

"Why would you even promote a message like that? Disgusting that you'd joke about such a serious illness," one Twitter user wrote in response to the message. "They don't eat but they should. #popsingersSHOULDeat," another critic replied. Concerned fans also responded to their idol, with messages like, "Eat the damn cheeseburger you perfect whore, we don't care if you get fat xx."

Gaga's controversial tweet follows a confession she made earlier this year at a young women's conference about her past struggles with bulimia. "I used to throw up all the time in high school. So I'm not that confident," she admitted to a group of high-school aged girls.
