Leave it to Lady Gaga to have a split dramatic enough to end up in court. Gaga is countering her ex-manager and ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari’s lawsuit with a suit of her own, claiming that she signed a contract with Fusari under false pretenses intended to manipulate an “inexperienced performing artist.” For his part, Fusari is suing the singer for $30 million in damages, claiming that her stage name was his idea and that he co-wrote songs such as “Paparazzi.” Gaga’s suit claims that Fusari was not a licensed agent rendering their 2006 contract “void and unenforceable.”
