- Lady Gaga's father Joe Germanotta started a GoFundMe for his restaurant and asked his Twitter followers to give money.
- It didn't go over too well.
A lot of people are losing their jobs right now due to the coronavirus pandemic—not only because people doing the right thing and staying home to be safe, and therefore not going out to spend money, but many businesses have also been ordered to close for public health and safety reasons. And it looks like one such business was Joanne's Trattoria in New York City, which is owned by Lady Gaga's father Joe Germanotta.
And also like some other businesses, Joe turned to crowdfunding to support his restaurant's employees. Yesterday, he tweeted out a link to a GoFundMe which aimed to raise $50,000 to cover his staff's wages, writing, "I'm doing the best I can but had to close Joanne for the month. Our staff needs some help financial [sic]. Any help for our employees would be appreciated."

While of course it's great to support small, local businesses, people were understandably confused by Joe's tweet—after all, his daughter's net worth is reportedly $300 million, and if people do have money to give away to support those who are struggling right now, maybe it shouldn't be to a man who can simply ask his incredibly rich daughter for a loan.
Joe has since deleted the tweet and shut down his GoFundMe page, but Twitter is obviously still dragging him for asking for money in the first place:
