Director Todd Phillips said he wanted the scene to be "more of a music and vibe moment" instead A viral moment when Lady Gaga was seen kissing a female extra on the set of Joker: Folie a Deux didn't make the final film.

Joker 2 director Todd Phillips has explained why he ended up cutting a scene that showed Lady Gaga kissing a female bystander. Last March, Lady Gaga was spotted in character as her DC character, Lee Quinzel, filming outside of New York City Hall – a stand-in for a Gotham City courthouse.

Joker: Folie à Deux” may have flopped at the box office, but at least it inspired a hilarious viral trend mocking the film’s wild tonal whiplash.
