Boy George Disses Lady Gaga For Her Occasional Cocaine Use Claim
By Robert Paul Reyes
"If Lady Gaga were about to be exposed as a drug user I would understand her recent confession to Vanity Fair that she is an 'occasional' coke sniffer,' George wrote. 'But why offer up this information on a whim? Could it be that her coke use is not 'occasional?'

Boy George is a tad past his prime, and he is no longer an authority on pop music. But former heroin addict is a freakin' expert on drug use.
Boy George makes a good point, why did Lady Gaga nonchalantly mention that she occasionally snorts cocaine? Could it be that she's about to be outed as a drug addict?
There is no such thing as an "occasional" drug user, cocaine is a highly addictive drug. That's like Oprah Winfrey saying I don't overeat, I just occasionally pig out.
Lady Gaga is being a bad role model for her monsters, some of them may follow her example and turn into "occasional" drug addicts.
