Lindsay Lohan to sue over Grand Theft Auto 5

4.6
Mean Girls and The Parent Trap actress Lindsay Lohan is planning to sue Rockstar Games, claiming the developer used her image without permission for Grand Theft Auto V.

That's according to a TMZ report, which claims Lohan's lawyers are in the process of drafting a lawsuit against Rockstar Games that demands "serious money."

No official lawsuit has been filed yet, so it is unclear which part or component of GTAV featured a likeness that Lohan claims is similar to her's.

TMZ points out that GTAV's box art features a woman holding a cellphone who somewhat resembles Lohan. The game also features a mission that has players taking home a Lohan-esque character to escape the paparazzi.

GTAV also features a mission at a hotel resembling Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood--a place where Lohan visits often and lived for a period of time.

If Lohan does indeed sue Rockstar over GTAV, her lawsuit would not be the first the game has faced legal action since its record-setting launch in September. Rapper Daz Dillinger accused Rockstar in October of using two of his songs in the game without permission, demanding that Rockstar give him more money for the songs or destroy all remaining unsold copies of GTAV.

I don't see the resemblance. Lindsey Logan isn't even attractive at all.

Id rather bang the cartoon character than Lindsay, Lindsay looks like a crack head and shes complaining that someone looks like her in a video game? UMMMM.... 1. It's not real its a virtual world.. 2. If I looked like someone in a video game especially a game like GTA THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!! 3. Whats the difference between a movie and a video game besides the graphics its both acting and everyone can see them shes delusional..

If you look at the facial features of the two pictures in the post, it does look really similar.

The thing that I hate about celebrities, is that all they want is more money. Im sure lindsay lohan has more than enough money as is.

That is just sad. Lindsey Lohan is a washed up actress just looking for any kind of publicity. She needs to get over herself and if anything, the girl with the phone resembles iJustine.
