Lady Gaga's $30.5 Mil Lawsuit

2010-03-20 by Athom EMERITUS | 65 Comments
Stefani Germanotta, better known to the world as dance pop recording artist Lady Gaga is being sued by her ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari. Fusari, who just happened to be her business partner and producer, sues Gaga for $30.5 million, claiming that after their relationship went sour, Fusari was pushed away by the singer, despite prior business arrangements (mainly a 20 percent cut).

Actually the guy is claiming to have written many of her songs, as well as creating her image and setting her up with the head of Interscope.

I wrote up an article on this yesterday but it got deleted, just like most of my Gaga news.

Of course it happens after they get rich. Why sue someone for damages if there aren't any damages?

dude deserves his cut, and its not like she won't make it back by the end of this year come on now lets b srs.

No, I understood your point completely. But things like this wouldn't happen, assuming they're legitimate, unless they are rich. There is no reason to sue if there is nothing to sue for. And then, if it's just for greed and illegitimate, then of course it would be after they're rich....

Did this lawsuit arise after her telephone video in which she supposedly cut off her "male member"?

oh no! more music industry blatting!

if he can write songs, he can write more and make himself into a pop/glam Marylin Manson.

gaga put herself out there, you can't take credit for allegedly giving someone a path to follow.

The guy is also a well known producer and songwriter in the business too from what I've read. He co-wrote a bunch of Beyonce and Will Smith songs.

so you guys are implying that middle class citizens cannot, and have no reason to be sued by someone for money? Have you ever even watched Judge Judy?
My point was if Lady Gaga was only an underground success this guy would not be going after her money, he only is because he wants in on her success. So where is the argument in this at all?

hmmm i'm trying to formulate a counterpoint here, but its hard to do since you don't seem to have an understanding of the space-time continuum. How's he supposed to make a claim on money she hasn't earned yet?

exactly. he can't ask for $30.5m if they're not rich, he would have to settle for like $0.5m. SETTLE lol

Wasn't there a news article here confirming that she does not have a dick? I think she was quoted saying that her beautiful vagina was insulted by that claim.

which is fair enough if he really did help create her image/songs and if he can prove it...

No, he's just waited all this time for her to make money that she doesn't have so that he can sue her for money she doesn't have.

Well, judging by the music she played and how she looked roughly 3 years ago -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b2C20qN4Ps --, I suppose something or someone incited a major change in her career. Perhaps this dude was involved, or not.

I agree Ghostechoes. Everything in this guys story makes sense, and I hope he wins. He took an entirely mediocre struggling musician and made her into the biggest Super Star of the past 2 years, I feel like someone would deserve a cut after that...

No, he's just waited all this time for her to make money that she doesn't have so that he can sue her for money she doesn't have.

If cases like this ever reach a settlement, the amount is always much, much less than the original demand. Also, she does not have thirty fucking million dollars. Maybe her boss does.
