Lady Gaga's former manager Troy Carter has opened up about being sacked by the star.
Carter - who is credited with Gaga's rise to global fame - admitted that he wasn't prepared for the ousting, which happened on the eve of the release of her ARTPOP album last November.
"It's like you wake up and you work with somebody every day, and then all of a sudden they're not there anymore," he told Fast Company.
"I don't think you're ever prepared to sever that deep of a relationship."
Recalling when the pair first met, he explained: "She walked in with these huge sunglasses on, fishnet stockings, and basically told me how she was going to change the game.
"She was a performance artist calling herself Lady Gaga, who had a European dance-club sound and pop-star aspirations - elements that historically haven't mixed. Def Jam Records had just dropped her. I believed her."
Meanwhile, Gaga recently claimed that she has been "gravely mismanaged" around her latest record and feels "betrayed" by her Haus of Gaga team.
