In Joker: Folie à Deux, a scene where Lady Gaga kisses a woman was filmed but didn’t make it to the final version.
Director Todd Phillips recently shared why he decided to cut the scene in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
The moment was supposed to happen outside a courthouse in Gotham City before one of Arthur Fleck's (played by Joaquin Phoenix) court appearances. Gaga's character, Lee, had been released from Arkham State Hospital and was there to support Arthur. As she walked up the courthouse steps, she kissed a woman in the crowd of protestors.

Phillips explained that while the kiss was improvised by Gaga, it didn’t fit the mood of the scene. “I wanted it to be more of a music and vibe moment," he said. For the scene to work, the woman would have needed to speak first, which would have taken away from the musical flow.
Phillips also talked about how Phoenix was nervous about singing live with Lady Gaga during the movie’s musical numbers. Both actors helped each other during filming, with Gaga giving Phoenix music advice and Phoenix offering acting tips.
