Lady Gaga has dismissed a former assistant as a “hood rat” after it emerged that she is attempting to sue the singer.

Jennifer O’Neill is reportedly suing Lady Gaga for $393,000 (£248,000) and is also claiming damages for 7,168 hours of overtime that she did for the singer that was apparently unpaid.

It has now emerged that the New York Post has uncovered a deposition video in which Lady Gaga talks about the allegations and calls O’Neill a “f**king hood rat who is suing me for money that she didn't earn.”

She also argues against the claims of overtime saying that none of her staff get paid any because they actually work “a 9-to-5 job that is spaced out throughout the day.”

She went on to say: “This whole case is bullshit, and you know it.

“ I'm quite wonderful to everybody that works for me, and I am completely aghast to what a disgusting human being that you have become to sue me like this.”

“She slept in Egyptian cotton sheets every night, in five-star hotels, on private planes, eating caviar, partying with [photographer] Terry Richardson all night, wearing my clothes, asking YSL [Yves Saint Laurent] to send her free shoes without my permission, using my YSL discount without my permission.”

Lady Gaga also revealed that the job was essentially a favour to O’Neill because she was woefully unqualified to do it.
