Lady Gaga is a person who has enough fame, fortune and influence to last several lifetimes. When you’re in that stratospheric level of celebrity, it’s easy to lose sight of reality a little bit and the singer got a brutal reality check about it on Twitter from another woman who is well acquainted with fame and notoriety herself, Amanda Knox.
It all began when Lady Gaga innocently tweeted out “Fame is prison” on Twitter, prompting much speculation over what it means.
While many fans immediately jumped on the tweet as a sign that new Lady Gaga music is coming, Amanda Knox thought otherwise and weighed in on the matter that was both brutal and perhaps a little personal.
After the singer shared her tweet, Amanda clapped back with a simple but hall of fame worthy retort:
For those who are unaware who Amanda Knox is and why her retort to Lady Gaga was so brutal, she became notorious back in 2007 when she was wrongfully convicted alongside her then-boyfriend for the murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, in Italy.
While Amanda vehemently maintained her innocence, she ended up spending four years in prison and made headlines around the world due to the controversial and dramatic nature of her trial.
After many legal battles that included finding and convicting the real murderer, Amanda was released from prison in 2011 and was officially acquitted in 2015 by Italy’s highest court.
So yeah, Amanda Knox just gave Lady Gaga the greatest burn we’ll see all year and all it took was seven words on Twitter.
If there was anyone on earth who is more qualified to school Lady Gaga on fame and prison, it’s definitely Amanda Knox. Best get some ice for that burn, Gaga, because it’s going to linger around for a while.
