The feud between A Star is Born and Venom started!

Twitter has recently witnessed a war of words between Lady Gaga’s new film and the upcoming Sony’s movie - Venom. Both films will open in theaters on the same day.

Just few hours after the premiere of Venom, the film industry’s critics shared their poor reviews. Meanwhile, Gaga fans seemed to add fuel to the fire by generating their own 'fake' reviews to try and stop people seeing Venom.

Fake negative reviews

The Just Dance singer stars in A Star Is Born, a movie which has received rave reviews from the critics. And now rumors suspected that Gaga's loyal fans posted negative reviews on Tom Hardy’s “Venom” to promote A Star Is Born to the top of the weekend box office and trash Venom premiere.
Some Twitter users noticed these critics used the same exact words, just copying and pasting. Many tweets wrote,
Besides that, Gaga’s fans were also responsible for driving Ed Sheeran off Twitter. Gaga has repeatedly asked her fans to stop.
