“I was inexplicably ordered — not even asked — to sit in a wheelchair or not appear at all. I was told it was because of my age, and for safety reasons, because I might slip out of the director’s chair, which was bulls—,” Minnelli writes, according to an excerpt published by People on Friday.
“I will not be treated this way, I said. My co-presenter insisted she would not go on stage with me unless I was in a wheelchair,” she adds, noting that she was “heartbroken.”
“I was much lower down than I would have been in the director’s chair. Now I couldn’t easily read the teleprompter above me. How would you feel if you were wheeled out, against your will, to perform in front of a live audience, and unable to see clearly?” she continues.
Minnelli appeared somewhat disoriented on stage and stumbled over her words. Gaga comforted Minnelli by telling her, “I got you.”

*While the moment left her feeling upset, the “Cabaret” actress commended Gaga for her kind gesture after they exited the stage.*
*”So when I stumbled over a few words, Gaga, who was at my side, didn’t miss a beat to play the kindhearted hero for all the world to see. ‘I got you,’ she said, leaning down over me,” Minnelli shares.*
