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.

It's funny when rich people take it to the point where they believe the amount they have isn't enough. Pretty pathetic to the point where if she lost i'd laugh my ass of for her greedyness.

Renovate That's quite pathetic if she sued them.


I would tbh, free money and she just sits back while lawyers deal with it for her


Just think if she lost? Huh? She would lose a lot! Paying Rockstar, and paying for the Lawyers! If she won, she would get a lot, though.

Why would someone sue Rockstar? They are successful, they probably have many lawyers or could get many.
