Lady Gaga Found Not Guilty of Plagiarizing French Sculptor

(Radio.com) French artist Orlan has lost her forgery suit against Lady Gaga. Orlan claimed Gaga stole concepts from two of her sculptures, Bumpload and Woman with Head, for both the Born This Way album artwork and a scene from the music video for the title track.

The case also called out Lady Gaga's reading out of The Manifesto of Mother Monster as a reference to Orlan's Manifeste de l'art Charnel (Manifesto of Carnal Art). The sculptor asked for $31.7 million in damages, which is 7.5 percent of the profits generated by the album, Artnet.com reported.

Not only was Orlan denied any payment, she was ordered to pay Gaga and her record label $22,000 each in fees as dictated by France's legal code for civil proceedings. Read more here.
