Lady GaGa Admits She Doesn't Pay Overtime - Calls Herself Queen Of The Universe And Employees Slaves

About a year ago, I wrote about a former personal assistant for Lady GaGa who had sued the singer for almost $400K because of 7,000 hours of unpaid overtime. Well, Lady GaGa finally gave her deposition in the case and it must have been amazing. First, according to the NY Post, she called the woman suing her a f**king hoodrat. Nice. Then, she said that she pays none of her employees overtime and that everyone knows that and they should never expect any. Finally, she had this to say, "She’s just — 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." So, basically, yes, what she did was call herself queen of the universe and her employees slaves to the queen. Nice. I'm guessing GaGa does not get many Happy Bosses Day cards.

    Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    I feel like she had an opportunity to have a permanent place in the future of music and then totally screwed it up. Now she comes across as trying too hard to be "out there" and unique, like she thinks she is on a while other level of talent and the rest of us cretins are just lucky to bear witness to her eccentricities. IMHO anyways.

    75k per year was her salary and the bennies included world wide travel, private plane and 1st class hotels amongst many other bennies. I'll take that job!! OT is for hourly paid workers, she does not have a shot in court at this, IMO.

    I'm actually with Gaga on this one. This is what life is like for the personal assistant of a celebrity. It can be hellish, but you out in your time for a year or two, and your connections (or the celebs themselves) find you a nice cushy position. Has this assistant never seen Devil Wears Prada? Do you think Anna Wintour's assistants expect overtime? Bitch, please. The one who wrote the book is another assistant who should have known better (but I'm glad she didn't, because then she wouldn't have written the book, and I love the movie!!)

    "This one pisses me off the most though because it takes perfectly normal stories, recouches them in a way that they look better or worse than they are and doesn't include any kind of facts about any of them. He/she has a personal problem with some celebrities so those ones are always made to look bad, even when they are actually doing something really good for society."

    I see what you're saying, but a lot of gossip sites do this, not just Enty. I stopped reading CeleBitchy because the main person on there would not quit it with her opinion that Duchess Kate was maybe having an affair with Prince Harry because "they get along so well" and "look at them laughing together."

      Good grief you presumptuous asshole. Autism isn't a "thing" that part is somewhat correct, it is an actual diagnostic diagnosis that has a huge range of symptoms on a spectrum. Asperger's Syndrome is on the autistic specturm and Albert Einstein had Asperger's, to name just one of many.

      Troll or whatever all you want, I don't normally give two shits if people are offended by an innocuous statement that came out sounding differently than it intended, but by trying to pass this off as "research" for a class you're trying to put yourself above anyone here. Maybe you are smart, since I have no clue who you are, but people with genuine intelligence and common sense don't feel the need to let other people know just how smart they are. I have a significant amount of experience and education in mental health issues and oftentimes if I make a comment that involves a MH issue I preface my
      Opinion by saying that, but only because I base my opinion on my experience. It's not intended as a showy kind of thing.

      You will find out more about the human psyche by kindness and objective viewpoints than to attempt to tower over others by acting like King Shit of Turd Mountain.

    Yeah really as hard as it is, if you ignore it, it will go away. It's obvious there's something very wrong in their head and you're not going to reason with it. Like singing to a pig, it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

    I can see this case as somewhat similar to the Starbucks court case. The managers sued for overtime and Starbucks said salaried employees were not eligible. BUT there was sa much consistent extra hours that it was apparent they were using one person to do the work of two. The managers won. If in Lady Gaga's case her assistant was trying to get 24/hrs a day pay that is a little out of the question.

    Go on The Smoking Gun. Someone posted and ad for a personal assistant and it was hilarious. Makes you wonder if anyone sane would actually apply.

    No, that's why I mentioned the Ron Jeremy threads, I'm serious.

    This is the last reply I"m going to write to you bc you are so extreme and so sure of yourself that you will never likely change.

    Words are important. To someone who has a disabled son or daughter, the difference between the detested word 'r****d' and 'developmentally disabled' means the difference between ignorance and dignity.

    Autism doesn't exist? Maybe not to you. My ex sister-in-law just finished a basement apartment for her grown son for her son who isn't autistic. My best friend has struggled for years to forge a communication with her now grown son who is not autistic.

    If you are seriously in a Religious Studies program, you need to rethink it before you ever work with the public. You will be working with vulnerable people who need guidance, not judgment or ridicule.

    I'm with the assistant on this one. She was probably working 100 hrs / wk. Maybe more if she really was 24/7 staff. So that works out to about $14 or $15 / hr.

    Then you have to deal with all the ridiculous demands of the star. Stuff normal humans would never ask for. Poor girl probably never slept or had days off.

    Fancy hotels and the luxuries are not fun if you're working too hard to enjoy them. I knew a lady who was an assistant producer for The Oprah Show during the Australia trip. I asked her how her trip was and she said she never saw a thing bc she as working the whole . Hotel and studio and back again. It's not a fun life for the assistants.

    I just love when people (i.e., Person) very publicly contradict themselves and make themselves look like brainless turds.

    If you're claiming to make truth an object of study, and at the same time you're a student of religion, you've already stuck your head in an oven of a conundrum. To cop to long-term readership of a site (at least enough to be able to claim 'scholarly' cred) and at the same time attack its readership as a bunch of 'uneducated morons' -- which, clear to everyone but you, ostensibly includes yourself is a ridiculous and flawed proposition.

    Not only have you antagonized your so-called object of study, you've also revealed yourself as a bad scholar. You're a moron and possibly a scientologist with your uneducated views on autism. You'll never get any credibility in academia with your approach. FFS, you can't even get it here.

    On the GaGa thing - if the assistant did not spend more than 50% of their time doing managerial, supervisory or self-directed work they would not qualify as overtime exempt. No matter how well they were paid. When I worked for a well-known chain of copy and print shops we had this issue come up. Suddenly those of us in management were directed to make sure we spent no more than half our time helping customers directly to get around this.

    On the troll thing - if this is the most disgusting site you have found on the internet you have clearly never googled "Goatse".

      Oh damn, I actually have real knowledge regarding this that totally went out of my head while I was having fun pet and feeding the troll. Entertainment industry! Duh.

      I used to work at a fairgrounds. We did not pay overtime to the workers we hired because we had a special exemption as part of the entertainment industry. If 2/3s of your income is earned during 1/3 of the year, you're exempt from paying overtime. I'm not sure if that applies to this situation, since Lady Gaga presumably earns money all year, but it is something else to consider.

      Also, every nasty thing you ever heard about carnies -- totally true.

    And Gaga, as irritating as she can be, will come away fine in this mess, because the other posters are right - if she were a salaried employee, there's no such thing as OT. There are other stipulations in her employment contract, I'm sure. Sounds like she saw one of those Morgan and Morgan commercials about unpaid OT wages, and *thought* it applied to her.

    Awwwright, you go Person! I am LOVING this, way to stick it to these old, fat ugly catlady losers! Who gets their pwecious feewings all butthurt over the word "retard" anyway? It's just a word, but I guess when you're as pathetic as these posters, you probably hear a lot of nasty comments so you get all offended on the behalf of everyone else.

    I'd have to agree with you on autism too, the reason so many kids are "autistic" is because schools get big government money if they have "special needs kids" (aka retards) so they label any kid they can find. It was the same with ADD/ADHD and all they've done differently is make up a new disease because people caught on to the last big scam.

    It's funny because the posters here think they are so intelligent, educated and superior to "racist rednecks", trailer trash and everyone else yet they can't see how they're being manipulated just like everyone else...only in a different way. It's like "bullying", when you allow people to tell you what words are are aren't acceptable, you allow them to control your thoughts. If you have to constantly police your speech then you are not free, but these people don't see that, nor do they care since despite their claims of intelligence, they are emotion based creatures, therefore they are easily manipulated. And you can't tell them WHY or who is behind it because it's all a "conspiracy theory" and you're racist and crazy. But that's really another subject entirely.

    Anyway, Person, I like your style! I hope you stick around and continue to piss off the cat ladies. Also, I know what you mean about the comment deleted thing...I used to post here and my whole account was deleted, probably because I pissed off someone's precious feelings. So it does happen.

    Back to the overtime issue. It doesn't matter if Gaga says she doesn't pay overtime, or if there is a contract making saying she's exempt. The labor courts will look at the job that was being performed and if it doesn't meet one of the three type of exemptions (which it probably won't) then overtime and penalties will be owed. Since she most likely didn't keep timecards it will be the employee's word about how many hours she was working that prevails. Gaga is an employer and regardless of being a "Queen" needs to run her business like any other employer.

    Hey, @Person and @888 - let me put this in a way even you two might understand. NEITHER of you affects us. You are strangers over the goddamn internet. Typing words into a comment section on a gossip web site, most of which will be forgotten about this time tomorrow. No more, no less. In an hour I'll have already forgotten about your insane/paranoid/bitter troll rants. Oh, I happen to be a 31 year old male with a full life and not some crazy "Cat lady" as you have incorrectly generalized most everybody here.

    As for not being able to "Handle the truth", you remind me of this person I know who constantly warns everybody she sees to pull out of their money out of the bank because she strongly believes that one day very, very soon the sun won't rise and we won't be able to get our cash when this "no sun" circumstance occurs. Of course she believes she's correct because she's read The Bible every night for 20 years. So hey, What do we know? According to her we just can't "Handle her truth."

    Gosh, gee.

    Now I'm moving on and putting YOU out of my mind.

    Forgotten in 10...9...8...7..6...

    What were we talking about?

    The situation with Pam and Brian the boom guy just came out of nowhere pretty fast. It might have packed a bigger emotional punch if they introduced him earlier, like say, the beginning of the season. If the boom guy's feelings for Pam were that obvious surely Jim would have picked up on it over the course of 8 years. Boom guy was practically leering at her last night. Yeah, Jim would have picked up on that for sure.

    Oops, spoiler alerts! And I was one who didn't like the "AHS" spoilers last time. Whoops. Sorry. :-/

    (Although in my defense, that was the season finale of "AHS" with a bunch of real shockers, and these were just a few tidbits about "The Office" and it's not over yet. But I'll still stop now. Oof. Sorry again.)
