Lady Gaga's fatherJoe Germanotta has shut down a GoFundMe page attempting to raise $50,000 to support his restaurant staff's wages.Germanotta got backlash online after he launched the crowdfunding campaign in response to being forced to layoff almost 30 employees at Joanne Trattoria this month.
The restaurant was required to shut down to prevent the spread of COVID-19.'I'm doing the best I can but we had to close Joanne for the month.
Our staff needs some help financial. Any help for our employees will be appreciated,' Germanotta wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
