The Fame Monster is keeping her “Poker Face” out of court.
Lady Gaga on Monday agreed to settle a Manhattan federal court lawsuit filed by her disgruntled ex-assistant Jennifer O’Neill, who claimed she’d been ripped off for overtime.
O’Neill claimed that she was at Gaga’s “beck and call” during the 2009-to-2011 “Monster Ball” tours — and that the singer owed her 7,168 hours of overtime and about $400,000 in damages.
O’Neill was paid a flat rate of $50,000 a year when she was first hired in early 2009, and then $75,000 when hired a second time, in 2010.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and reps for Gaga and O’Neill did not return messages.
A settlement had been expected.
As the Post reported last week, O’Neill’s lawyer Paul Millus wrote Judge Paul Gardephe, saying both sides were using an independent mediator and were “hopeful” an agreement would soon be reached, “thus obviating the need for a trial.”
