Lady Gaga has decided to change her plans for her sister’s bachelorette celebration in light of a sexual harassment lawsuit against The Box nightclub. Originally intended to be held at the controversial venue, Gaga’s team, along with Lower East Side artists, suggested rescheduling the event out of solidarity amidst the legal turmoil.
The lawsuit against The Box stems from allegations made by a former staff member, accusing the nightclub of permitting sexual harassment of its employees. According to court documents from 2022, female workers were allegedly coerced into engaging in sexual activities with male patrons in exchange for career advancement and other incentives. The management purportedly threatened termination for those who refused to comply.
While The Box has a reputation for attracting celebrities and hosting provocative performances, its association with such allegations has prompted Lady Gaga to reconsider her plans. Instead, the celebration for her sister, Natali Germanotta, who is known for her contributions to Gaga’s iconic stage looks, will be relocated to a different venue. Natali, set to marry photographer Alex Dolan in Maine in early June, has been instrumental in crafting Gaga’s memorable appearances at events like the Grammy Awards and her Las Vegas residency.
The exact location of the bachelorette toast remains undisclosed, but it’s clear that Lady Gaga’s decision reflects a stance against supporting establishments embroiled in such controversies.
