GTA 5 Sparks Legal Action from Lindsay Lohan – Rumour
Posted on the 01 December 2013 by Sameo452005 @iSamKuliiLindsay Lohan is said to have called her legal attorneys in over the alleged unauthorised use of her likeness in Grand Theft Auto 5.
TMZ cites anonymous sources for word that Lohan’s lawyers are putting together a suit over Rockstar’s supposed use of the actor’s image in the game, demanding “some serious money”.
Three instances are being cited as use of Lohan’s image. The first is a mission in which the player is asked to escort actress Lacey Jonas away from the paparazzi. The second is another mission involving photographing a red-headed actor in what seems to be a fictionalised version of the Chateau Marmont, a hotel Lohan once lived in and still visits regularly.
The third instance is the cover character, but The Daily Dot reports British actor and model Shelby Welinder has outed herself as the source, showing her Rockstar paycheque as evidence. Can you really see any similarities between the in game characters and Lindsay Lohan.
