Ever since Gaga posted a tweet suggesting Hilton was harassing her earlier this year while she was recovering from her hip injury, it has been a balls to the wall cyber battle between the two. The singer reminded her die hard fans about the text the gossip journalist sent her with a picture of her in a wheelchair as Madonna pointed a gun at her. "Still have the text Perez sent me of me in a wheelchair w the words KARMA written across + Madonna pointing a gun at me. Day of my accident," the "ARTPOP" artist tweeted.

According to "The Sydney Morning Herald," the "Applause" singer evening claimed Hilton was stalking her by attempting to leave Los Angeles to find a place for him and his son in Gaga's birthplace of New York. The writer actually admitted to looking at a building the pop star lived in.
However, in a personal statement, Hilton stressed that his house hunting in NY has nothing to do with his former friend Lady Gaga.
"Any allegation that I am stalking her, based on a day of house hunting with my baby boy and my mother, is utterly false, defamatory and now appears to be putting me and my family in danger," wrote Perez.
From the looks of it, media sensation might have something to worry about since him and his son received death threats from Mother Monster fanatics.

After witnessing Perez become a victim of cyber-bullying, Kelly Osbourne had to voice her concern.
"It truly hurts my hear to see how mean people can be in the name of someone else," said Osbourne, who has accused Gaga of being a hypocrite in the past. "Rise above all this madness being hateful is not worth it."

There is the possibility that the feud started when Perez criticized Lady Gaga's new single "Applause" which is somehow not doing so well as expected.

Despite the backlash he is getting from Monster fans, Perez says he will not stop giving his professional opinion.
"I will continue to be a critic - in a way that is not mean or involves name-calling, and I will continue to have an opinion and talk about music and songs, like GaGa's 'Applause'."
