Gaga’s ex threatens to sue after book paints him as a ‘villain’

Lady Gaga’s ex-boyfriend Lüc Carl has threatened to sue her longtime friend Brendan Jay Sullivan and publisher HarperCollins over a book about the superstar that paints him as a “villain” who “didn’t have time for her.”

We’re told that Carl, a heavy-metal drummer, was unhappy with the depiction of him in the book “Rivington Was Ours” and fired off legal letters to HarperCollins and Sullivan.

The book includes details from Gaga’s early career, including how she swapped her “thick, dark, raven-haired Italian mane” for a bad blond dye job to impress her “inattentive and possessive” boyfriend Carl.

Gaga’s longtime friend, Brendan Jay Sullivan has written a book about the superstar, ‘Rivington Was Ours.’

Sullivan, a DJ, described Carl — who had a tumultuous relationship with Gaga before they broke up in 2008 after three years — as a negative influence on Gaga, dictating whom she could talk to and where she could work while himself being “distracted by a small coterie of drunk girls.”

Carl even admitted he wasn’t the ideal boyfriend, saying last year, “I was f - - king miserable, and it wasn’t her fault. It was my fault for being a drunk a - - hole. I would have left me, too.”

But that didn’t stop him from seeking legal advice over Sullivan’s tome. Sullivan confirmed to us, “Gaga told me herself that Lüc told her early in her career, ‘I hope you fail,’ and that gave her the fire she needed at the time to fight for her dreams. Lüc wasn’t happy that I made him the villain of the piece. HarperCollins got a letter from him, he is threatening me and HarperCollins with a lawsuit.”

Meanwhile, Gaga has revealed she has “found love” with “Chicago Fire” star Taylor Kinney, whom she met in 2012. She told Fashion magazine, “It has been hard for me to find it, but I have found love. When you meet someone that’s not intimidated by the amazing people that are around you [or] by the love that you receive — that’s love.” She added, “Men weren’t always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.”

Carl, reps for HarperCollins, and Lady Gaga didn’t get back to us.
