BEIJING, June 23 (Xinhuanet) -- Jerry Seinfeld called Lady Gaga "a jerk" after she showed photographers her middle finger during a Mets game in his private box at Shea Stadium, according to FoxNews's reports Wednesday.
"This woman is a jerk. I hate her," Seinfeld said during a WFAN radio interview. "I can't believe they put her in my box, which I paid for."
"You give people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the world we're living in now?" he said.
"It's pathetic."

"I don't know what these young people think or how they promote their careers," Seinfeld said. "I'm older, I'm 56. I look at Lady Gaga the way Keith Hernandez watches these kids when they pull the pocket out, they wear the inside-out pocket. ... Do you think he understands that? He can't understand that. That's a new game, that's kids."
Previously, Seinfeld released a statement noting that his family took "an optimistic view of Lady Gaga's gesture as a sign that she wants the Mets to be in first place as badly as they do."
