Terry Richardson and Lady Gaga have always been two nutcases that stuck together. But there is a slight problem now: and it involves a court case. According to both Petapixel and Complex, a former assistant of Lady Gaga’s is suing for many, many hours of unpaid work. To be specific, we’re talking about $393,000 for 7,700 hours. Jennifer O’Niell, who is suing GaGa, is being represented by lawyers that state that the photos are going to be sufficient evidence for the case.

Richardson tried to fight the subpoena by claiming the pictures didn’t have anything to do with the case and felt the measure was harassment–let alone a major waste of his time. But the courts are demanding that the photographer “hasn’t demonstrated to [the court] that there is any significant burden in producing the photographs,” according to what the New York Daily News states.

Crazy, huh?
