Meet Lady Gaga’s lookalike younger sister, Natali Germanotta: the fashion designer has her own label Topo Studio, regularly styles her famous sibling, and even starred in the ‘Telephone’ music video
Lady Gaga has reportedly cancelled her sister Natali Germanotta’s bachelorette party at famously outrageous New York nightclub The Box amid claims the venue sexually harassed its staff, according to US media.
Court documents from 2022 show that a former staff member claimed 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.”
Although The Box has denied the allegations, the case is still ongoing.
So we know Natali won’t be celebrating her upcoming nuptials with her girls at The Box, but here’s what we do know about Lady Gaga’s younger sis …
