Lady Gaga faces new lawsuit over Judas plagiarism claims
She is already in the midst of a lawsuit over claims she profited from charity wristbands she sold to raise funds for Japanese tsunami victims.
Now it looks like Lady Gaga’s lawyers are going to be working overtime after the superstar singer was sued for plagiarism.
A vocalist called Rebecca Fancescatti is claiming her hit song Judas is a rip-off of her own 1999 tune Juda.
The singer has filed a lawsuit at federal court in a bid to win damages from the multi-millionaire star.
Fancescatti believes the similarities between the two songs are not a coincidence because her former bass player Brian Gaynor is now employed by a music company that wrote 17 songs on Gaga's recent Born This Way album.
Her lawyer Chris Niro told TMZ: ‘Though the songs are different styles, the composition is the same and the chorus is the same melody.
‘[Rebecca] is seeking recognition for what she created.'
Francescatti, who sings under the name Rebecca F, is suing for unspecified damages.
The MailOnline got in touch with Lady Gaga’s publicist, but so far has received no reply.
It will be the second lawsuit the singer will be fighting in the space of two months.
In June she was sued by U.S. consumer attorneys 1-800-Law-Firm for profiting from the sale of $3.99 'We Pray for Japan' bracelets.
However the star’s spokeswoman Holly Shakoor said the lawsuit was frivolous.
She said: 'This misguided lawsuit is without merit and unfortunately takes attention away from the kind deeds of the fans around the world who are supporting the people of Japan.
'The entire five dollar donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief.
'Lady Gaga has personally pledged her own funds to this cause and continues to support the victims of the disaster.'
Judas has been in the top ten in charts around the world, and has went platinum in Australia.
However it was controversial because the music video portrayed the New York singer as Mary Madeline and its lyrics are stuffed with Christian references.
Bill Donahue, president of The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rightssaid: "This is a stunt. Lady Gaga tries to continue to shock Catholics and Christians in general.
‘She dresses as a nun, she swallows the rosary. She has now morphed into a caricature of herself.
‘She is trying to rip off Christian idolatry to shore up her talentless, mundane and boring performances.
