Touring company being sued because of Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga doesn’t always act like much of a lady according to a former assistant. Jennifer O’Neill, 41, is suing the superstar’s tour company, Mermaid Touring Company, for $380,000 in unpaid overtime during the time she spent working with Gaga on her 2010 Monster Ball world tour. The New York Post obtained the court papers filed by O’Neill in Manhattan federal court last week, which stated that there were no meal breaks, sometimes even no sleep breaks, and the assistant had to be ready to address “spontaneous, random matters in the middle of the night.” O’Neill also stated that her job included “ensuring the promptness of a towel following a shower and serving as a personal alarm clock to keep [Gaga] on schedule.” Gaga’s rep has dismissed the allegations, telling The New York Post that they’re “completely without merit.”
