Recently, news hit that Lady Gaga and her well-known choreographer, Laurieann Gibson, had parted ways. Apparently, they called it quits over creative differences. Meanwhile, we learned that Gibson’s old dance assistant, Richard Jackson, was Gaga’s new dance assistant. And Friday, Gibson released the following statement:

“I am fulfilled with the work I have done with choreographing all of the iconic moves, creative directing the artist, appearances, shows, directing the tour, music videos, and the HBO Monster Ball, which was a culmination of my work as its creator and director. Recently, Lady Gaga was motivated to take the helm of the creative direction of her career and as such I decided to step away. I am extremely proud of her, and in stepping away I wish her all the best. I look forward to continuing my work with notable artists, as well as new artists that are part of my Interscope Records deal, and the upcoming seasons of my TV shows.”

Pretty professional, yet vague. What do we think REALLY happened?
