Hours before the alleged incident, the “Bad Romance” singer was spotted in Italy, where she is currently filming her upcoming movie, Gucci. Gaga debuted her new brunette locks for the role of Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani, in the fashion-focused film. Jared Leto, Al Pacino and Adam Driver are slated to star alongside Gaga.
The 34-year-old singer has shared snaps of her adorable furry friends with her fans for years on social media. In 2014, she even posed with Miss Asia on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. “She has really shown me the importance of living in the moment,” she gushed about her pup, calling Asia as an “inspiration.”
Gaga continued: “She is a very romantic and loving animal, and this sort of poetry is what art is all about, I think. Interaction. She loves to sit with me when I record jazz. She never barks or makes noise; she just looks at me with her big ears.”
In 2015, Miss Asia appeared in a Coach campaign for “Coach Pup.”
