tl;dr: Gaga rejects claims about cashing in on her charity bracelets, her agent insisting:

"The entire $5 donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief. No profit is being made on shipping costs. Sales tax charges were made in accordance with local legal requirements. Lady Gaga has personally pledged her own funds to this cause and continues to support the victims of the disaster."

Also he mentioned this all stemmed from people who ordered online being made to pay tax, which is per standard with legal requirements and Gaga nor any of her staff or management made any money from her charity bracelets for Japan.

EDIT: Main quote from Gaga: "This misguided lawsuit is without merit and unfortunately takes attention away from the kind deeds of the fans around the world who are supporting the people of Japan."
