Music / News Staten Island Borough President Calls Lady Gaga "A Slut"

Posted by Henry Stewart on Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 10:30 AM

Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro yesterday called Lady Gaga "a slut" during a press conference to launch a campaign at keeping teens away from drugs, NY1 reports. "To me, she's not an actress," the elected official said. "She is a slut in the pure word, in the pure meaning of the word."

The 81-year-old Molinaro is a member of the conservative party and has two sons. He has been critical in the past of the portrayal of Italian-Americans and Staten Island residents in the media, though he has remained a Staten Island Italian-American caricature who calls female celebrities sluts.
