Lady Gaga is sorry for her 2013 duet with R. Kelly in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against the singer, and she intends to remove the song from streaming services. "What I am hearing about the allegations against R. Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible," she said. Lifetime's Surviving R. Kelly series, which aired this month, has brought renewed attention to the singer's history and allegations that he has sexually abused women and girls. Gaga wrote the track — which appeared on her studio album Artpop — with Kelly, regular collaborator Paul Blair and French DJ and producers Martin Bresso and William Grigahcine. The song's official music video was directed by Terry Richardson, who also had been accused of sexual misconduct.
