Lady Gaga Accused Of Stealing From Japan Earthquake Victims!



28 June 2011
by Poppy Reid

Lady Gaga will soon head to court after serious allegations that she stole from her own Japan earthquake charity.

According to The NME, a federal class action lawsuit has been filed against the pop star by a US law firm, accusing her of keeping money from the sales of her We Pray For Japan wristbands.

Gaga announced the sale of her $5 wristbands via her website just hours after the tsunami and earthquake hit Japan on March 11. Additional to the cost of the wristband, Gaga charged $3.99 for shipping and handling and $0.60 for taxes. The post claimed, "all proceeds go directly to Japan relief efforts".

Despite the declaration, the claim says the entertainer violated federal racketeering laws and a number of consumer protection laws.

Apparently Gaga inflated the costs, pocketed the extra money and refused to reveal how much of the profits would actually go to the victims in Japan. The suit also claims she made even more money from the donations because she counted the money she allegedly pocketed in her donation figures which then artificially inflated the numbers.

Gaga is yet to respond to the allegations but ironically she did headline the MTV Video Music Aid Japan at the Makuhari Messe Arena near Tokyo.
