OSMOND ‘UPSET’ BY LADY GAGA’S TELEPHONE
DONNY OSMOND has slammed LADY GAGA and BEYONCE for including "profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence" in their TELEPHONE vid eo - insisting he’s "upset as a parent".
The singer admits he was shocked to see the saucy scenes in the new pro mo, in which Gaga is stripped naked by prison guards and groped by a woma n, before dancing while wearing a thong.
The video also shows Beyonce act out a poisoning scene - killing a man by lacing his food with a toxic substance.
And Osmond is worried young fans will be subjected to the explicit imag es.
He says, "I’m all for freedom of speech and against any form of censors hip, but all I know is that I’m a parent and I’m upset about this. Unlike 20 years ago, in today’s modern, viral world in which content becomes in stantaneously available irrespective of age, I wonder whether the music i ndustry might need to rethink its marketing policies with regard to makin g an explicit music video containing profanity, sexual exploitation, nudi ty, and graphic violence available to anyone with internet access.
"I wouldn’t want my child to watch this video. Would you? What do you t hink? Should these two extremely gifted female role models for millions o f young girls, maybe, have given a little more thought to the effect it m ight have on their core audience?"
