3 weeks ago 3

Lady Gaga’s dad, Joe Germanotta, admitted his relationship with his daughter has been “dicey” ever since he “came out as a Republican” several years ago.

He made the comment while discussing families who don’t see eye-to-eye about politics on Wednesday’s episode of Fox Business’ “Cavuto: Coast to Coast.”

Now that Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the 2024 US presidential election, Germanotta said he believes the separation within families will “heal.”

“[We’ll] get past it,” he confidently stated.

“People need to understand that even though I’m a Republican and I have Republican conservative attitudes, that doesn’t mean I don’t support the LGBTQ community, or drag as a form of artistry,” he further explained of his views.

He even said drag artists “perform once a week” at his New York City restaurant, Joanne Trattoria. Joanne’s website shows there are weekly drag events on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Of course, his daughter has been a longtime LGBTQIA+ advocate.

Germanotta endorsed Trump, 78, for president in September and ahead of the 2020 election as well.

The restauranteur voiced his support for the former president in 2020 on X by tweeting “@realDonaldTrump 2020.”

In a second post, he added, “You may have noticed my political and spiritual beliefs are different. liberty and freedom of choice would not be political.”

His support of Trump came days after the businessman ripped Gaga, 38, apart for supporting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during their previous successful bid for the White House.

The “Paparazzi” singer endorsed Harris, 60, this time around as well and appeared at one of her Pennsylvania rallies on Election Eve along with Oprah Winfrey, hip hop artist Fat Joe, pop star Ricky Martin and more.

She performed “God Bless America” while playing piano at the Philadelphia event and gave a passionate speech before introducing Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff.

“For more of this country’s life, women didn’t have a voice. Yet we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men as they made the decisions,” she said, per Variety. “But tomorrow, women will be part of making this decision.”

“Today, I am holding in my heart all the tough, tenacious women who made me who I am,” she continued. “I cast my vote for someone who will be a president for all Americans.”

She returned to the stage at the end of the night to sing “Edge of Glory.”

A rep for Gaga did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment about her father’s latest remarks.

“I cast my vote for someone who will be a president for all Americans,” she said on stage. AP

The “A Star Is Born” actress is one of many celebrities who rallied for Harris leading up to Election Day.

Katy Perry took the stage on Monday night at a rally in Pittsburgh and sang some of her hits including “Dark Horse,” “Part of Me” and “Firework.” She also covered Whitney Houston’s 1986 hit, “Greatest Love of All.”

Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Stevie Nicks and Cardi B are also among the handful of female musicians who encouraged fans to vote for Harris.
