Lady Gaga forced female aide to shower with her and sleep by her side

Lady Gaga's former assistant has alleged that the singer forced her to sleep by her side in a tell-all book.

Radar Online has published an excerpt from Poker Face: The Rise And Rise Of Lady Gaga, in which her former assistant Angela Ciemny alleges that the LoveGame singer could not bear to live without her.

"We literally... we would do our make-up together every morning and get ready for bed together at night," the Daily Telegraph quoted Ciemny as saying, clarifying that there had been nothing sexual about their relationship.

Ciemny also confessed in the book to spending more time in bed with Gaga than her own husband.

"I would say, 'Gaga, I have a husband to go home to. I'll be in the room next door'. And she'd call and text me - 'I miss you Ange, can you come back?' And she would tell [the husband] Dave, 'Can your wife please stay with me tonight?'

"[So] I would sleep in her room, because what was the point of going to my own room with David when I have to wake up in an hour and be here?" Ciemny added.
