Don't get on Lady Gaga's bad side.

The usually docile performer unleashed a tirade of insults against her ex-assistant who is suing the singer for close to $400,000 in unpaid overtime fees. Lady Gaga, real name Stefanie Germanotta sat in a Manhattan law office for six hours to face questioning about the accusations made by the 42-year-old ex-aide, Jennifer O'Neill.

In a fit of rage, Lady Gaga hurled a barrage of insults at O'Neill dubbing her a "f-cking hood rat who is suing me for money she didn't earn."

Gaga ranted, "She just...she thinks she's the queen of the universe." Followed up by, "And you know what, she didn't want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I'm the queen of the universe every day."

Gaga testified that she doesn't offer overtime pay for any of her employees. She said, "She knew there was no overtime, and I never paid her overtime the first time I hired her, so why would she be paid overtime the second time? This whole case is bullsh-t, and you know it."

O'Neill stated that she worked 7,168 hours of unpaid overtime during the two times she's work for Gaga and wants to be paid back $398,000 in damages. Gaga asserted that O'Neill knew beforehand that she would not receive overtime compensation and she should be grateful for the opportunity to travel all over the world with the "Born This Way" singer.

"Because she slept in Egyptian cotton sheets every night in five-star hotels , on private planes, eating caviar partying with Terry Richardson all night, wearing my clothes, asking YSL to send her free shoes without my permission, using my YSL discount without my permission."

Gaga said she hired O'Neill as a favor for the $75,000 a year job and that she was majorly under qualified for the position. O'Neill began working with Gaga in 2009 and was employed by her for 13 months.

According to Gaga, O'Neill didn't offer her much help as a typical personal assistant should. She claimed that due to O'Neills inefficiency, she had to organize her clothes and personal items and had no choice but to move her heavy luggage on her own.

"She would only open a couple of bags, and it was very stressful for me because then again on my off days I couldn't really have a day off because, you know, I weigh 115 pounds, and I was trying to move these huge, big luggages all by myself in the room, and I did it all the time - by the way, she was asleep until 12:00 most of the time, so I was very often waking up and moving my own luggage and doing s-t by myself, and it was - it was a problem that I had," Gaga said.
