Lady Gaga Caught in Conflict Over Iconic Nightclub, The Box, in Lower East Side Hipster Scene

Lady Gaga started her career in Downtown's dives. Now, The Box, one of her hangouts, is being sued for allegedly permitting sexual harassment of one of its bottle girls. Media reports that Lady Gaga is being pressured to cancel hosting her sister's bachelorette party at a controversial club known for its outrageous stage shows, frequented by celebs like Zoe Kravitz, Lindsay Lohan, and Miley Cyrus.

A 2022 lawsuit alleges that managers at The Box compelled female staff to dress provocatively and entice male customers. Female employees were coerced into performing sexual acts, engaging in sexual intercourse, consuming drugs, and excessive alcohol with customers. The bosses supposedly used promises of money, career advancement, wealthy and celebrity clientele to force these actions. Female employees faced termination or loss of shifts if they didn't comply, and the case is still ongoing in courts.

The Lower East Side nightlife scene is divided over claims, insiders say people are urging Gaga to cancel the party.
