While Lady Gaga plays panda in Japan, the pop star’s publicist Holly Shakoor has issued a statement regarding the lawsuit claiming she profited from the sale of her “We Pray For Japan” bracelets. Read the full statement below.
Michigan-based law firm 1-800-LAW-FIRM filed a lawsuit earlier this week alleging that Gaga had overcharged fans on shipping costs of her bracelet and had made money over the sale of a product whose proceeds she promised would go to the Japanese earthquake relief efforts.
The singer’s rep released a response (via E! Online):
“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 $5 donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief. No profit is being made on shipping costs. Sales tax charges were made in accordance with local legal requirements. Lady Gaga has personally pledged her own funds to this cause and continues to support the victims of the disaster.”
