Lady Gaga apologized Wednesday for her 2013 duet with R. Kelly and spoke out in support of all the women who have accused the singer of sexual assault. Lady Gaga made a song with R. Kelly called “Do What U Want (With My Body)” that was featured on her 2013 album, Artpop. In her statement, Gaga says she “intends to remove this song off of iTunes and other streaming platforms and will not be working with him again.” "I stand behind these women 1000 percent, believe them, know they are suffering and in pain, and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously," Gaga said. "What I am hearing about the allegations against R. Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible." "As a victim of sexual assault myself, I made both the songs and video at a dark time in my life, my intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn’t processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life," she said.
