He may have dated and produced music for Lady Gaga, but it seems that Robert Fusari's poker face could use some work after he admitted to gambling away $1 million dollars and spending $2 million more on escorts and a kilo of cocaine!
Fusari sued Gaga in 2010 for money he said was owed to him for co-writing music with her. That case was settled for an undisclosed sum. Then Wendy Starland, who claimed to have discovered Gaga, filed suit against Fusari, and in 2014 was awarded $7.2 million of the money that Fusari earned in profits from Gaga's career -- largely due to Gaga's testimony. But when Starland attempted to collect, Fusari was somehow broke!
On March 30th, Fusari filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, listing his assets in the 0-$50,000 range, and his liabilities at $1 million -$10 million. According to the documents, Fusari admitted spending away the money by gambling, hiring escorts, and buying cocaine -- in addition to handing out cash to the homeless and to his girlfriend! "I do remember buying a large amount of cocaine. I do recall some excessive gambling. I do recall some excessive escort services. Hence the going out with a bang kind of mentality. I was going to do this like the movies. It is nothing I am proud of or bragging about."
In the documents, he also asked about a $700k withdrawal which he could not remember, but agrees must have happened since it is in his bank statement.
