Lady Gaga 'Do What U Want' Video LEAK: Snippet Pulled Due To Star Terry Richardson's Sexual Assault Charges [RUMORS/WATCH]

Lady Gaga is not usually one to shy away from controversy; however, it seems like this time is different.

The pop icon was supposed to release the music video for single "Do What U Want," back in the fall, but after allegation involving her co-star and director Terry Richardson were released, the singer decided to scrap the video all together.

TMZ has obtained the scrapped video and we just have to say that is it pretty graphic and we definitely don't recommend watching it, say with grandma looking over your shoulder.

According to Gaga, the video was never released because of vague problems including time restrictions and betrayals. The NY Post is reporting that at the time of the video shoot Gaga was unaware that her director (Richardson) was facing claims of sexual assault and harassment from past models that he had worked with. The Post also reports that once the pop diva became aware of said allegations her camp decided it best to toss the video all together.

In one of the more graphic scenes in the video, Richardson is seen taking pictures of a naked Gaga while she humps crumbled up newspapers and touches herself, definitely not the kind of thing that would help Richardson's case. The famed photog has fervently denied the sexual assault rumors many times, stating that he never did anything inappropriate with any of his models.

Also whilst R. Kelly's was acquitted on charges of taking inappropriate pictures of minors, we don't think that his reputation would have helped stop the backlash had the video been released.
