Lady Gaga is being sued by her former assistant, Jennifer O’Neill. Ms. O’Neill claims Gaga owes her for unpaid work, about 7,168 hours which equals to $393,000, according to Radar. Some of O’Neill’s grievances, that Gaga insisted she sleep in bed with her and change her DVDs in the middle of the night, seemed ridiculous but other claims O’Neill cited as unfair sounded like typical personal assistant duties. However, according to The Daily Mail (so, brace yourselves), court documents were obtained of Gaga’s witness statement — and she sounds like a total pain in the ass to work for. She sounds outright delusional. Here’s what Gaga allegedly said about her former assistant and her duties (from The Daily Mail via Radar):
Yes, I woke her up in the middle of the night because I can’t get anyone to help me. I wouldn’t know how to call a doctor…if I am sick and need someone to arrange a doctor or put a cold compress on my head, I view that as work, sure.
We had the best time [in Paris]. Jennifer was there. She hung out all night with me and Terry Richardson and tons of socialites from Paris, and she had the time of her life. I am quite wonderful to everybody who works for me, and I am completely aghast to what a disgusting human being that you have become to sue me like this.
SHE thinks she’s just like the Queen of the Universe. And, you know what? She didn’t want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I’m the Queen of the Universe every day.
I hope hope hope Gaga didn’t say these things. If she did, this goes beyond Beyoncé divadom. This is just insane. You “wouldn’t know how to call a doctor”? You let your assistant go with you to a party with Terry Richardson and French socialites and you think that’s a perk? You think your assistant is the disgusting one? You couldn’t pay me to get within 3 feet of Terry Richardson. Or you could, at $1 million per foot. That’s my price for being near Terry Richardson. So, please. Please let none of this be true, because I am just starting to like Gaga again.
Sad face.
This is true actually.
Why would you start liking her?
Isn’t this super old news?

Maybe it’s because I’m not famous and (hopefully) never will be, but I seriously cannot understand how people can let themselves become b*tchy, self-entitled douchebags like that.
Maybe Im wrong but I kind of see where Gaga is comming from. She tours all over the world,If i was in another country I wouldn’t know how to call a doctor. Of course I could figure it out by using the internet or hotel conceirge, but if I could afford to have someone do that for me and I was away from my home I would.
As for a cold compress, I know far too many people who find it impossible to put a compress on their head or make soup or do anything other than be sick.. And again Gaga is paying this woman to do that for her. She is being paid to do it and is complaining about it. its a job. An unconventional one, sure, but its not like she didn’t know what she signed up for. she could have quit well before she did if she didn’t like it.
I dont know, it seems like gaga is demanding but she can afford to be. The assistant shouldn’t have accepted the job if she couldn’t handle what it involves. and gaga is the “queen” or whatever when she is paying people to treat her as such.
its sad when some celebrities treat assistants as slaves!!!. well of course the assistant signed up for the job. but it still doesn’t make her a slave or a robot. cant believe she doesn’t know the first thing to do when she is sick!!! even a 4yrs old can call 911.
she can as well ask the assistant to have sex with her boyfriend because she might know how to do it.
the assistant on the other hand shouldn’t have gone this far.
money cant buy anybody security, love and life. its just for temporary enjoyment.
