Executives at Lady Gaga's insurance company have submitted court documents in New York to distance themselves from the singer's legal battle with a former producer to be sure that they wouldn't be liable for damages in case Gaga loses the case.

Rob Fusari, her former mentor and ex-boyfriend, has pressed charges against her for $35 million, claiming that he helped Gaga come up with her stage name and played an important part in her getting a record deal with interscope.

Fusari said that he held a 20 per cent share in his company with Gaga, Team love Child LLC and claims that she didn't give her sufficient compensation for his shares in the firm when she gained worldwide recognition. Gaga has filed a countersuit accusing Fusari of taking advantage of her innocence as a wannabe pop star.

Now, the bosses at her insurers Navigators Speciality Insurance Company have decided to distance themselves from the lawsuit. Lawyers representing the firm filed a motion in court on Thursday, July 8 requesting the presiding judge to release a declaratory judgment because Gaga's policy does not include breach of contract claims, TMZ reports.

According to the legal papers, Gaga's policy only pays for "an act or omission including personal injury in the performance of professional services". The case continues.
