Lady Gaga Sued for Scamming Japan Earthquake Charity

 
From gay rights to disaster relief, Lady Gaga is always at the forefront of activism or charity outreach, but now, one law firm is crying false when it comes to Gaga's Japan earthquake relief efforts.

A Southfield, Michigan based law firm, 1-800-LAW-FIRM, recently filed a class action lawsuit against mother monster for pocketing a portion of the proceeds from the sale of her 'We Pray For Japan' wristbands, benefiting relief for Japan's March earthquake -- proceeds gathered from customers who assumed their money was going directly to Japan.www.mannamart.com



"I'm suing Lady Gaga simply to hold her accountable for giving the money that she was raising for charity to the cause that she was.

Gaga sold the earthquake relief wristbands for $5, charged $3.99 for shipping and handling and tacked on an added $0.60 in taxes. The only problem? According to the law firm, Gaga exaggerated her costs and pocketed more than just her initial investment in the charity bracelets.

The firm's automated phone message states that they have "uncovered evidence" that not all of the proceeds were in fact donated to relief efforts and that Gaga's initial statements regarding the relief bracelets were "false." The message also urges those who purchased one or more bracelet to join the lawsuit.

So is Gaga guilty of scamming her own charity or is the seeming park bench law firm just hoping to get some publicity out of the suit? Either way, these lawyers are giving Gaga's poker face a run for her money. www.mannastores.com
