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.

570 Uhm I always thought that Tracey was the one with the phone, and also Lindsay is a disgusting tr*** who no one cares about anymore she is washed up.


Which probably is one of the reasons she's suing.

I really don't see any resemblance other than the fact that they are both blondes.

I don't see it going too far in the court room.

They hired Shelby Willender for the modeling there's proof of it, plus that washed up actress looks nothing like the girl on the cover

GCC How stupid, I can't believe she is actually sueing rockstar for this. How desperate for money must she be!


I wouldn't say that she's desperate for money. I say she's either looking for attention or she's plain jealous of how successful Rockstar were with their recent release. Actually, now thinking about it, both.

Oceans This is honestly stupid, she's just going out of her way to get money from whatever she possibly can.

She's going broke, what do you expect? She also has no talent what so ever, so she's going money hungry.
