Lady GaGa has disclosed that she had a falling out with her father in the beginning of her career.

The popstar has admitted that her father Joseph Germanotta didn't understand and disapproved of her revealing outfits.

Lady GaGa told The Observer: "I was performing in a leopard G-string and a black tank top.

"My dad thought I was crazy. It wasn’t, 'She’s inappropriate' or 'She’s a bad girl' or 'She’s a slut'. He thought I was nuts, that I was doing drugs and had lost my mind and had no concept of reality any more. For my father, it was an issue of sanity."

The 23-year-old has said that eventually her father came around and they have since patched up their relationship.

She added: "The record deals didn’t hurt. He loves me for what I am. I grabbed a guy today on set, he laughed. He loves it. He thinks I'm wonderful and thank God. If he didn't, I would be a different Lady GaGa."
