Lady Gaga visits Julian Assange for dinner at Ecuadorian embassy
Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, received a visit from singer Lady Gaga at the Ecuadorian embassy while she was in town to promote her perfume.
Lady Gaga visited Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London and the unlikely pair had dinner together last night, it has emerged.
The singer, who had been promoting her new perfume at Harrods next door, was seen leaving the Knightsbridge embassy building dressed all in black and wearing a pointed witch’s hat.
The WikiLeaks founder, who is wanted in Sweden over alleged sex attacks on two women, has been holed up there since June and has claimed asylum.
Lady Gaga is said to have spent five hours with him, emerging at midnight after the two had shared a meal.
Earlier, singer M.I.A. had tweeted a message to Lady Gaga saying: “If ur at harrods today, come visit Assange at the Ecuador embassy across the st. im there. Ill bring TEA and CAKE (sic).”
An embassy spokeswoman confirmed Lady Gaga had visited but said she did not know whether M.I.A. had been there.
She said: “People can visit him (Assange) but usually he has his own team set up the appointments.”
The visit from the Poker Face singer came as Assange’s high profile backers who had stood as sureties for him were ordered to pay a court £93,500 because the Australian has skipped bail to seek asylum.
The supporters, who include a Nobel prize-winner, an aristocrat and an academic, were warned they would face jail unless they found the cash within a month.
Other supporters of the whistleblower have already lost £200,000 in security money.
Lady Gaga was booed by angry fans on Sunday night when she arrived over an hour late for the UK launch of her Fame perfume at the luxury department store.
Many who turned out to see her were left disappointed, having failed to even catch a glimpse of her before she dashed indoors.
