Lady Gaga has done it again  and this time, not with a chart-topping song or a jaw-dropping red carpet look, but with a kiss that has the entire internet buzzing. A resurfaced behind-the-scenes video from the upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux  is making waves across TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter — and it’s pure Gaga gold.

The now-viral clip shows Gaga, who was playing Harley Quinn, storming past a loud protester yelling, “You’re going to hell!” But instead of ignoring the outburst or firing back with a classic celebrity clap back, Gaga, the queen of unexpected — walks right up to the woman, plants a bold kiss on her lips, and allegedly whispers, “Now you’re coming with me.”

Outburst

Social media platforms have since exploded. The TikTok post from @naijagetgist has racked up over a million likes, with thousands of fans declaring Gaga “iconic,” “legendary,” and “the hero we didn’t know we needed.” While some were initially shocked, most were living for the drama, the sass, and the absolute Harley Quinn energy she brought to the moment.

Was This Real?

If you thought Gaga pulled this off mid-street in real life, you’re not alone. Many fans initially believed this was a real confrontation, thanks to the raw footage and intense reactions. But it’s actually a scene filmed on March 26, 2023, for Joker: Folie à Deux, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix.

In this film, Gaga steps into the chaotic shoes of Harley Quinn, opposite Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck (aka Joker). From what we’ve seen so far, her version of Harley is every bit as bold, authentic, and unforgettable. And this viral moment proves it.

The kiss scene, however, didn’t make the final cut of the movie. Director Todd Phillips later revealed that it was scrapped to preserve the musical tone and pacing of the film. Still, the internet never forgets, and as soon as the behind-the-scenes footage resurfaced, it took on a life of its own — proving that Gaga’s outtakes are better than most people’s main scenes.

Gaga Being Gaga

What makes this moment so memorable isn’t just the shock factor. It’s the way Gaga, whether in character or out of it, turns confrontation into performance. The protester’s hate-fueled comment was met with a theatrical kiss — a move that feels both deeply Harley Quinn and deeply Gaga. For a pop icon who has long championed LGBTQ+ rights, freedom of expression, and unapologetic weirdness, the moment felt like poetic justice.

Fans Reaction

One TikTok user wrote, “Lady Gaga said ‘If I’m going to hell, I’m bringing company!’ and honestly? Mood.” Another commented, “This is how you silence hate — with lipstick and chaos.”

Whether you’re a Little Monster, a DC film fan, or just someone who loves a good viral moment, this scene is pure internet magic and would get your lips moving and your mind racing. Lady Gaga might be Harley Quinn on screen, but off-screen, she’s still the same boundary-pushing superstar we know and love — serving drama, and headlines like no one else.
