Lady Gaga, formerly Stefani Germanotta apparently cheated her ex boyfriend out of millions of dollars after he dumped her.
Gaga’s ex, songwriter/producer, Rob Fusari filed a $30 Million lawsuit against her claiming that he created the once “guidette” into her superstarlet image of today. He even came up with her stage name.
Gaga made Fusari 20% owner of her company but now, has taken back her word on the deal.
Fusari’s lawyer, Robert Meloni, who filed suit yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court, said: “He discovered her. It was his songs and productions and connections that got her her first deal.”
Apparently Gaga was referred to Fusari back in 2006 when he was looking “for a dynamic female rock-’n'-roller.” She took a bus to his Parsippany, NJ, recording studio, and when Fusari saw “the young Italian girl ‘guidette’ that arrived at his doorstep,” he was “worried that he’d made a mistake,” the suit says.
Gaga and Fusari continued on and worked seven days a week and co-wrote her later hits “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich” and “Paparazzi.”
Fusari said he played the Queen song “Radio Ga Ga” whenever she arrived at his studio, and “one day when Fusari addressed a cellphone text to Germanotta under the moniker ‘Radio Ga Ga’ his cellphone’s spell check converted ‘Radio’ to ‘Lady.’ Germanotta loved it and ‘Lady Gaga’ was born.”
According to the lawsuit, their relationship hit a “romantic level,” and they later formed a company with Gaga’s father that Fusari owns 20% of. Fusari “ended their romantic involvement” in early 2007.
He also says he hooked Gaga up with Interscope Records, where she’s become a megastar. Fusari says he’s entitled to 15-20 percent of her earnings as a co-owner of her company, but has only received one proper check, for $209,000.
