Lady Gaga has been everywhere these past few weeks! From Grammys to Super Bowl, to Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary, she is striking while the iron is hot—and also promoting her single, Abracadabra.

In a recent Vanity Fair interview, where she took a lie detector test, Lady Gaga sadly announced that her Yoü and I character, Jo Calderone, is officially gone—announcing that:

"This person is no longer with us", shocking the Little Monsters! (via X/@ladygaganownet)

The Little Monsters' Funny Reactions to Lady Gaga's Statement

Because of Lady Gaga's statement that Jo Calderone is now gone, the Little Monsters are shocked as they loved Jo Calderone ever since he appeared in the Yoü and I music video!:

"Fly high handsome," a user wrote. (via X/@KatyGuz19)

Other Little Monsters joked that the reason Jo Calderone is no longer with us is because he got rejected by Britney Spears when they both appeared together during the 2011 MTV VMAs!:

Some Little Monsters are trying to look at the bright side, saying that Lady Gaga has a new man in her life, and that's why Jo Calderone is not needed anymore.

"She has a new lover in her life, folks. I couldn't even expect another answer," a Little Monster said. (via X/@orgasticcdesire)

Lady Gaga fans who grew up with Jo Calderone also are in disbelief with the news, saying that him being no longer with us, is the start of their villain era!

"NO MY DAD! Now I have a sad backstory to become a villain!," a young Lady Gaga fan remarked. (via X/@pawfer09)

X users who watched Lady Gaga's Vanity Fair Lie Detector Test hilariously pointed out that Lady Gaga was somewhat confused when Jo Calderone's photo was shown.

"I kinda feel like she had absolutely no idea who that was at first lol," an X user noticed. (via X/@COOL_D72)

Some fans are in denial that Jo Calderone is gone, saying that maybe he's just somewhere out there, having the time of his life.

"Maybe he went on vacation?" a fan suggested. (via X/@MarooninCar62)

Who is Jo Calderone?

Jo Calderone, the mean machine mechanic from Sicily, is Lady Gaga's chain-smoking alter-ego who appeared in her music video, Yoü and I, alongside Yüyi, the ravishing mermaid.

Aside from appearing in the music video, Jo Calderone also appeared in the 2011 MTV VMAs, awarding, and flirting Britney Spears at the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.


For her Mayhem promotions, Lady Gaga is not bringing up Jo Calderone in her interviews anymore, officially putting an end to her decade-old eras.
