After Page Six reported that Lower East Side artists were putting pressure on Lady Gaga to cancel plans to host her sister’s bachelorette party at The Box amid a sex harassment suit against the club, we’re told she’s nixed the bash.
Outrageous and audacious nightclub The Box — which is just as well-known for its explicit and sometimes-scatological stage shows as its starry clientele — is being sued by a former staffer who claimed in 2022 court documents that managers “ordered and coerced female waitresses, performers, and employees to dress provocatively and travel throughout New York City in order to lure male customers to [The] Box, where they would be serviced with sexual acts, sexual intercourse, drugs, and excessive alcohol by other female employees who had been forced to perform these acts.”
Sources said Gaga’s team had asked her to move the bash for her fashion-designer sis, Natali Germanotta, rather than show her support for the club amid the legal battle. GC Images (The Box has denied the allegations. The case is ongoing.)
