Lady Gaga: ‘I’m Not Saying Vomit’s Going to Change the World, But ...’

Lady Gaga's "Vomit Artist" Defends Throwing Up Onstage: "My Performance Does Not Promote Eating Disorders" (E! Online)

While many accused Lady Gaga of glorifying bulimia after she was vomited on during her performance of "Swine" at the SXSW Festival in Austin last week, the woman behind the puking is now defending the twosome's onstage stunt.

Performance artist Millie Brown, who stuck her fingers down her throat and regurgitated a nasty green liquid all over the pop star, opened up about her professional relationship with the Mother Monster in a new interview with Elle.com in addition to addressing the rampant eating disorder backlash.

As for how Brown first met Gaga?

"She reached out to me through ["Born This Way" video director] Nick Knight," the 27-year-old artist revealed. "I guess she was introduced to my work through him. We worked together in 2009 when we collaborated on her Monster Ball interlude."
