In June, Lady Gaga won a case in which she was accused of plagiarizing another singer's work on her hit single Judas.
And in court documents obtained by TMZ, the 28-year-old megastar is striving to get her accuser, Chicago musician Rebecca Francescatti, to foot her lawyer's bill.
The
Born This Way hitmaker paid $1.4 million to her lawyers, asserting that
she spent three years and a fortune defending her reputation.

thing that's ever happened to me. I can't believe you're real
sometimes...'
In 2011, Francescatti accused Gaga of ripping off her 1999 song, Juda.
Earlier
this year, the plagiarism case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge
Marvin E. Aspen, who concluded that the two songs are not ‘substantially
similar.’
The
judge ruled that there was no similarity between the songs based on
‘qualitatively important elements’ or ‘a unique combination of
elements.’

And
their similar titles and four similar 16th notes ‘are not sufficient to
give rise to a finding that the Gaga Song has captured the total
concept and feel of the Francescatti Song.’
Meanwhile, Gaga is embarked upon her artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball tour – currently winding her way through Europe.
