THE mother of Lady Gaga, Cynthia Germanotta, has confessed to Oprah Winfrey that she thought the singer might have mental problems the first time she saw her performing.
Asked by Ms Winfrey what the flamboyant performer (whose real name is Joanne Stefani Germanotta) was like as a teenager, her mother joked about seeing her perform at a pub early in her career.
Ms Germanotta said: "When Gaga started emerging, when she was performing I think it was at Joe's Pub downtown. And she was in her bikini performing 'Lady Starlight' and decided that night to ... actually light hairspray on fire.
"And some people left when that happened... a lot of people stayed and thought it was cool. But her father and I were like, honesty, he said, 'I think she has a screw loose'."
Outspoken singer also told of how she is planning a media blackout after interview with Oprah Winfrey airs.
"The newest thing that I do, I don't read a damn thing. No press, no television, no, if my mom calls and says, 'did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music.
"Other than this interview Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time."
The two-hour long interview was conducted at Gaga's childhood home in New York City. The interview will air on Sunday, March 18th on the cable channel OWN.
