The settlement was revealed in an Oct. 21 court order dismissing the suit filed by Jennifer O’Neill, who claimed she’d been cheated of overtime pay for a few weeks in early 2009 and for 13 months beginning in February 2010. A trial was scheduled to start Nov. 4.

O’Neill had testified she was responsible for sometimes monitoring the singer’s communications and for handling about 20 bags of luggage.  Lady Gaga and O’Neill were roommates and friends in New York City before 2008, when Gaga was a struggling musician more commonly known as Stefani Germanotta.

O’Neill had said that she was paid at a flat rate of about $50,000 annually when she was first hired and $75,000 annually the second time by the pop singer, who is estimated in a list published by Forbes magazine to have earned $80 million in the first six months of this year. O’Neill’s complaint said she was on call 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.

According to court papers, Lady Gaga and O’Neill frequently slept in the same bed because O’Neill never had her own hotel room while on tour and was required to address Lady Gaga’s needs throughout the night.

In her deposition testimony, Lady Gaga had testified: “You don’t get a schedule. You don’t get a schedule that is like you punch in and you can play … at your desk for four hours and then you punch out at the end of the day. This is when I need you, you’re available.”
