Lady Gaga's album-themed charity only gave out $5,000 in grants in 2012, after spending $1.85 million on lawyer, PR and social media fees.

I don't know what to say on this really

Yeah she gave some money, but fans have been donating money for what they assumed was going to a good place. and now it's coming out that a small amount actually when to charity, there will be some pissed off people.

Really? That's your response??

She didn't 'give' anything, the donators gave that 5K. And she spent the other $1.845m on stuff that was suppose to be for those the charity said it would help.

The story was wrong. They didn't read the Tax Return correctly. TBTWF actually spent $1.3m on projects which is about 72% of it's income

TBTWF isn't an organisation that donates to other causes/charities. It's uses it's own funds to set up projects to help young people.
