Lady Gaga Sued By Ex

Rob Furasi, songwriter and producer, has filed a $30.5 million lawsuit against Lady Gaga claiming he was forced out of the singer's camp just as her successful career was taking off.

Furasi, who also claims to have co-written some of Gaga's songs, as well as coming up with her stage name stated in the lawsuit that "All business is personal."

Representatives for Lady Gaga have not released a statement yet.

Furasi says he helped the performer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, to develop her talent and groom her for success. The couple's relationship turned into a romantic one in May of 2006 however slowly soured over time.

Gaga is said to have denied Furasi his share of the royalties for writing such songs as "Paparazzi" and "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" - each which appeared on her album The Fame.


While he has been given check of over $600,000, Furasi claims that it is not all of the 15 percent he is owed for his efforts.
