Lady GaGa: "Judas Video Is Not A Biblical Lesson"

GaGa has previously been slammed by religious groups over her decision to play New Testament icon Mary Magdalene in the video, but Lady G has now stated that the eagerly awaited promo does not attack any religion.

Speaking to E! ahead of Judas' premiere at 7pm EST, the Bad Romance star told interviewer Giuliana Rancic: "I don't view the video as a religious statement. I view it as social statement. I view it as a cultural statement.

The eccentric star added: "It's a metaphor. It's not meant to be a biblical lesson."

In other Lady GaGa news, the Poker Face hitmaker has unveiled a new song from her forthcoming sophomore LP, Born This Way.
