SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) - Lady Gaga is being sued for racketeering and corruption over allegations she scammed money from the sale of wristbands, which should have gone to the victims of Japan's earthquake.

"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 trying to raise it for," said Ari Kresch, an attorney with 1-800-LAW-FIRM, which is based in Southfield, Michigan.

That cause being Japan's disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11 that caused an estimated $200-billion worth of damage.

"Everyone should come and visit this beautiful place. This is one of my most favorite places on earth," Lady Gaga has said in the past.

But soon in a Michigan federal courtroom, the poker face showdown over a $5-million lawsuit could kick off.

"But when you use your celebrity and your power as a musician to take money from people under false pretenses, that's just wrong," said 1-800-LAW-FIRM attorney Alyson Oliver.

Here's the alleged scheme:

Lady Gaga charges $5 for a "We Pray for Japan" wristband, another $3.99 for shipping and handling and $0.60 for tax. The lawsuit alleges that Gaga got greedy by inflating the shipping cost and pocketing the extra and refusing to disclose how much of the $5 actually goes to the Japanese victims.

  • Don't be rude to gaga or else you wanna be her food but I don't think she did that!

  • Even if this is true (and I don't think it is) I doubt Lady Gaga has anything to do with the scam. Most likely she has nothing to do with the handling of prices. She has people who do that for her. So if there really is a scam, I feel bad that she has to be the face of it all.

  • Well, this proves that she is NOT part of the Illuminati, for her to be subjected to this. I think they did not like the intensity in which she has promoted Jesus recently. This is retaliation.

  • This is the reason why i hate faggots hahahaha

  • Lady Gaga how could you?! (Puts gun into mouth, pulls trigger) You have to love these Pez Guns, Tasty.
