Lady Gaga dangerous dieting, hospitalized six times. Lady Gaga was sent to the hospital six times in 2009 because of her dangerous dieting. The dieting information and dangerous practices has been released in a new book.

David Ciemny, Gaga’s former tour manager, claims that she was hospitalized six times in 2009 due to her dangerous dieting. He alleges that the singer goes to dangerous lengths to fit into her eye-catching stage costumes. “When I say she was sick, I mean physically and mentally,” David said in the new blockbuster book Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga.

According to David, when he went on tour with Gaga she would binge on sweets and unhealthy food, then not eat for weeks to fit into her costumes. One time she lost 20 pounds between fittings. David’s wife, Angela, spoke about Gaga’s bizarre behavior. She spoke about how Gaga would cuddle up next to her in bed before her performances and beg for her to come back once she left.

“I would say, ‘Gaga, I have a husband to go home to. I’ll be in the room next door,’” Angela stated in the book. “She’d call and text me, ‘I miss you, Ange, can you come back?’ So I would. We literally would do our make-up together every morning and get ready for bed together at night,” she added.
