Lady Gaga Responds To We Pray For Japan's Bracelet Lawsuit
Como sabem uma firma de advogados processou Gaga por estar a lucrar com a venda das pulseiras para ajudar as vítimas do terramoto e tsunami no Japão! A firma alega que Gaga lucra com os portes de envio bem como não tendo revelado se os $5 de cada pulseira iriam de facto no seu todo para ajudar as vítimas! Um representante de Gaga fez uma declaração sobre este caso:
As you all know a law firm filed a suit against Gaga for alledgedly profiting with the shipping costs! The firm claims that the shipping costs have been inflated and Gaga is making money out of it. They also believe that the $5 for each bracelet isn't totally going to help these victims! A Lady Gaga rep has issued a statement (via E!Online) on her behalf, which reads:
Este processo não tem mérito e tira a atenção das acções feitas pelos fãs por todo o mundo que estão a apoiar as pessoas do Japão! A totalidade dos $5 da pulseira vai para ajudar as vítimas deste desastre. Nenhum lucro está a ser obtido com os custos de envio! Os encargos de imposto foram feitos em conformidade com os requesitos legais locais. Lady Gaga tem pessoalmente usado seu próprio dinheiro para esta causa e continua a apoiar as vítimas deste desastre!

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.
