According to RadarOnline.com, Gaga's tour manager, David Ciemny, claimed that while on tour she would scarf down unhealthy food and then stop eating for weeks to fit into her famous costumes.
At one point, she reportedly lost 20 pounds between fittings.
"The pressure on her to lose weight was very high," Wendy Starland, who helped discover Gaga, is quoted as saying, according to popeater.com.
Earlier this year, the New York native told London’s Daily Telegraph she was mocked for her size while at school.
"I had a very big nose, very curly brown hair and I was overweight," Gaga told the London newspaper. "I got made fun of.”
Rumors of a serious illness reached a fever pitch earlier this year after the singer cancelled two gigs and appeared to collapse on stage during a gig in New Zealand.
Though Gaga said her jet lag was to blame for the collapse, she later suggested to London's Times that she may have the autoimmune disease lupus – typical symptoms include breathing problems, heart palpitations and extreme fatigue.
In the same interview, the singer denied she had an eating disorder but admitted she took prescription medication to control her thoughts.
