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.

In fact I'm going to sue Rockstar for using an image that looks similar to me. I look alot like his son so I'm going to sue them. Now that I think of it they have multiple computers in the game I also have a computer. These bastards are stealing all my ideas. What a joke Lindsay is a total bitch.

Making an effort to sue Rockstar because of an image is a pathetic attempt for money. Does Lindsay not realize that almost everyone's own appearance is on the internet?

It's like trying to sue god for making the universe in his image. It's ludicrous.

Lindsay Lohan is just trying to be a little money whore and see if she can squeeze some money out because she dies her hair blonde and the character might look like her a tiny bit or act like her, but once again how many characters in that game are crazy drug addicts if we look at it that way then the whole damn game resembles her.

i hope she does try and sue just so the judge can publically humiliate her when R* easily wins the case.
