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.

This is just stupid she needs to find another way to get money other then suing people when it doesn't have anything to do with her.

Yop I wonder who's going to win the case?


Rockstar is probably going to win. I'd be shocked if Lindsay Lohan won.

Lot That sucks for rockstar the character does look like her


I don't see a resemblance at all between the two.


People are saying it looks more like Kate Upton, and I completely agree.

Vepr I find this pretty stupid but also funny on why she is going to sue them, it's only a game.


I agree, I think she is over reacting to it.

Yop I still find this humorous.


It's more pathetic then anything in my opinion.


I guess I would have to agree.
I wonder if it will make it to court.


I seriously don't think it will. The claim is just ridiculous.

You're like the first person from TTG to actually say it looks like her. Even by a little bit.

I would imagine it is going to be Rockstar.
Simply because I don't think Judges will believe her.
