Lady Gaga's dad thought she was on drugs

LADY GAGA has revealed how she fell out with her dad after he thought she was taking drugs because of her risque outfits.

The Poker Face star said at the beginning of her career, her father Joseph Germanotta didn't understand and disapproved of her revealing outfits.

Speaking to the Observer, she said: "I was performing in a leopard G-string and a black tank top.

"My dad thought I was crazy. It wasn’t, 'She’s inappropriate' or 'She’s a bad girl' or 'She’s a slut'. He thought I was nuts, that I was doing drugs and had lost my mind and had no concept of reality any more. For my father, it was an issue of sanity."

The 23-year-old said they have since patched up their relationship.

She added: "The record deals didn’t hurt. He loves me for what I am. I grabbed a guy today on set, he laughed. He loves it. He thinks I'm wonderful and thank God. If he didn't, I would be a different Lady GaGa."
