Lady Gaga dog walker Ryan Fischer seems to have changed course about his recent statement about his former employer.
Ryan first claimed to have felt “abandoned and unsupported” months after he was shot in the chest by dognappers who then stole the Bad Romance singer’s Frenchies.
In an interview on Wednesday the dog walker claimed he was going through “depression and self pity” when putting out the original statement on his GoFundMe that had garnered massive attention from the public criticizing the singer as previously reported by Radar.
He explained, “Everyone thought that I was setting a blame on someone, when it was all love,” he explained. “It’s what happens in trauma - all your loved ones, all your family, everyone: you feel alone.”
“I tried so hard,” he added. “I tried to navigate that. I really did think about the wording. It’s a weird video and it’s a weird way to go about life . It’s not normal and I understood that. And I really did try to navigate it as best I could,” referring to a video he put up on his fundraising page to ask for donations.
Ryan revealed the situation was actually quite the opposite from what he had originally claimed about the A Star Is Born actress.
According to Rolling Stone, shortly after the attack, Gaga allowed him to stay in her property in the Hollywood Hills temporarily to work with a trauma therapist that she paid for.
