Pop star Lady Gaga has urged her fans to stop sending online threats to Perez Hilton following a with the blogger.
In the wake of her Twitter feud with Hilton, Gaga took to her Born This Way Foundation's blog to post an open letter to her fans, urging them to stop sending online threats, reported Aceshowbiz.
"I've said this to the fans time and time again... My mother and I are passionate about tolerance, acceptance, and kindness, and I've made it a point early in my career to make it known that this is what I stand for as an artist.
"While it may be difficult at times to hear the things that people say and write about me, or the nature of the industry that builds us up to tear us down, sending threats of any kind, using hateful or abusive language, and the provoking of others on the internet is not supported by me or anything that I stand for. What I've seen transpiring is wrong and upsetting to me, and I've made it very clear how I feel about equality and compassion," she said.
Gaga and Hilton got involved in a heated Twitter feud as the blogger publicly blasted her new song. She later accused him of stalking her, but Hilton denied it, claiming that he was just house-hunting near an apartment where she lives.
