The lawsuit states that the trouble began when Lee embarked on tour with Shadow and Lady Gaga last summer, claiming: "almost immediately upon beginning to tour with Lady Gaga, Lee engaged in regular and frequent breaches of the Operating Agreement by failing to perform services in a conscientious, professional, and business-like manner.

"Specifically, he (i) was repeatedly tardy for commitments, (ii) refused to follow directions or complete work, (iii) took inappropriate photographs of himself and other individuals, (iv) engaged in illegal drug use, and (v) made lewd and offensive remarks during recording sessions. As a result, after approximately one week on tour, he was sent home."
