Lady Gaga Stops To Help Photographer Who Stumbles, Falls On Red Carpet During 2023 Oscars

Recording artist Lady Gaga rushed to help a photographer who had fallen as she was walking the red carpet at the 95th Annual Academy Awards.

The photographer was apparently trying to photograph Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, when he lost his balance and fell over. The “Bad Romance” singer gasped and immediately rushed over to help, though Page Six reported that he was able to quickly stand up on his own.

The 36-year-old singer was nominated for Best Original Song for “Hold My Hand,” from “Top Gun: Maverick,” but ultimately lost to “Naatu Naatu” from “RRR.” Gaga also sang the ballad onstage at The Oscars, stripping off her makeup and changing out of her ballgown to put on ripped jeans and a shirt to perform.

This isn’t the first time Gaga made headlines for being kind. At last year’s Academy Awards, the performing artist was a co-presenter alongside Liza Minelli and gently helped her read the teleprompter and held her hand when she faltered, but not in a patronizing manner.

“You see that? The public, they love you,” Gaga told the 76-year-old actress when the crowd applauded to show their support.

Minnelli struggled through her lines several, and each time she did, Gaga assisted her without talking over her, doing a great job at making it seem like it was all part of the script.

During a hot mic moment, Gaga leaned over and whispered to Minnelli, “I got you,” to which Minnelli replied: “I know, thank you.”

“This is like a lesson in how to facilitate older people while honoring who they are. What a class act by @ladygaga with legend Liza Minnelli. The conferred whispers of ‘I gotcha’ ‘I know’ picked up by the mikes make it especially touching,” Irish journalist Naomi O’Leary wrote at the time.

NBC’s Chuck Todd: Ron DeSantis ‘Politicizing’ Communism By Teaching Students About Its Evil History

NBC News host Chuck Todd complained over the weekend that Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law “Victims of Communism Day” which teaches students in the state the far-left ideology’s murderous history.

Todd made the remark Sunday on “Meet the Press” while discussing remarks that DeSantis made in Las Vegas over the weekend.

“We’re also the first state in the country to establish every November 10th, the day in our schools is earmarked, to teach our students at all grade levels about the evils of Communist regimes throughout history,” DeSantis said. “We’re going to tell the truth about Marxism and Leninism.”

“I went to Florida public schools,” Todd declared, “We were taught this, it was called history. It just seems like a weird politicizing, you know, he’s going out of his way to politicize something.”

GOV. RON DeSANTIS:

We’re also the first state in the country to establish every November 10th, the day in our schools is earmarked, to teach our students at all grade levels about the evils of Communist regimes throughout history. We’re going to tell the truth about Marxism and Leninism.

CHUCK TODD: You know, Jonathan, it’s sort of like, look, being a Floridian, I sort of know what he’s trying to —

JONATHAN MARTIN: Who he’s talking to there.

CHUCK TODD: What he’s trying to play there and all of that. But I would tell him, I went to Florida public schools. You know, we were taught this, it was called history. It just seems like a weird politicizing, you know, he’s going out of his way to politicize something.
