She is sueing R* about this picture, not than one with the cop. I have to admit that it does look familiar. But I still don´t think it´s something to be suing over and Lohan is just being a bitch

 

If only that would be Lohan... She'd had a reason to sue R*. I guess she wants to look younger instead of a ugly crack whore.

What lawyer seriously would take this case? Aparently they missed the day When Larry Flint Vs Oral Roberts was discussed. A case in whch the supreme court ruled that being a puplic figure basically made you fair game for satirical humor ie political comics or in roberts case a cimic of him in bed with his mother.She doesn't stand a chance.

That was in her defense? xD!

 

She did it once.... and not only did she "get away with it" but she also got something for her troubles -- E-Trade paid her off to go away.  I can't fault someone for repeating behavior that got them rewarded because that's the sort of thing you expect from people.  If E-Trade or the justice system or common sense had bitchslapped her back in the day, it would have sent the message that such behavior isn't going to get her anywhere.

 

I draw parallels to good parenting.  If your kid breaks curfew (or raids the cookie jar or wrecks the car or whatever) and you don't punish them for it, the message that gets internalized is that such behavior is acceptable.  When bad behaviors get rewarded, it simply encourages more of the same.

Either it's an ambulance chaser working on retainer hoping for Rockstar to quickly pay up and make the court filings go away (and so the lawyer can get 20-40% of the take) because said payoff is often cheaper for a corporation than fighting the issue out in court, or it's someone working pro bono in the hopes that the publicity and/or notoriety from the case will get them attention and said attention will draw them future clients.

 

Also, never count out the ability of the American justice system to come up with a completely nonsensical result.  Especially when a jury gets involved.  Especially in California.

According to an AP report on Yahoo! Finance, Lohan's lawsuit claims that GTA V characterLacey Jonas is based on her, in likeness and personal details. The suit has been filed today in Manhattan, where Rockstar Games' corporate headquarters are located. We've reached out to Rockstar Games for comment and will update this post if they respond.

Here are videos from in-game missions featuring the Lacey Jonas character.

 

 

 

 

 

The characters in GTA she refers to were supposed to be stereotypical, drug abusing, fame hungry child stars who think the Sun shine out of their own arse. There are no redeeming features in any of them whatsoever and were only designed to be an archtype.

If she sees herself in these characters, then maybe she should look at herself in the mirror rather than try to milk it for cash which actually confirms Rockstar's point about people like her.
