O'Neill is now asking USD 380,000 in overtime for the extra 7,168 hours during her 13-months employment.

Pop sensation Lady Gaga has been named in a lawsuit issued by her former assistant Jennifer O’Neill,who claimed that during her 13 months of employment,she was treated like a slave to the singer.

O’Neill is unhappy that Mermaid Touring Company made her a slave to Gaga during her days as an employee,demanding the overtime cost that she claimed to earn,reported Ace Showbiz.

Among the things that O’Neill used as example of how she worked really hard for Gaga were from fetching a towel after Gaga showered and keeping the singer on schedule.

She specifically stated in the lawsuit that her job included “ensuring the promptness of a towel following a shower and serving as a personal alarm clock to keep Gaga on schedule.”

O’Neill also claimed she had to serve Gaga in “stadiums,private jets,fine hotel suites,yachts,ferries,trains and tour buses.” As an assistant,she was told to be on Gaga’s side and call her at “earliest waking hour”.

O’Neill is now asking USD 380,000 in overtime for the extra 7,168 hours during her 13-months employment. She did not name Gaga as a defendant but the singer’s representative said that the lawsuit is “completely without merit”.
