Lindsay Lohan Just Lost Her Lawsuit Against ‘GTA V’ Creators… Again
Give it a rest.
Six judges in the New York Court of Appeals have unanimously decided that a character in Grand Theft Auto V does not resemble Lindsay Lohan.
This ridiculously petty case might sound familiar. The former child star originally filed a lawsuit against GTA V’s publisher, Take-Two Interactive Software, four years ago.
Lohan and her legal team alleged that character Lacey Jonas is a “really famous actress slash singer” who evokes her “image, portrait and persona.”
In 2016, the New York Supreme Court ruled in favor of the video game publisher. Instead of cutting her losses, Lohan appealed the decision to no avail.
Rolling Stone has further details:
While the court said in an opinion a computer generated image may be considered a “portrait” under current state civil rights law, “the artistic renderings are indistinct, satirical representations of the style, look, and persona of a modern, beach-going young woman that are not reasonably identifiable as the plaintiff.”
The 31-year-old actress will now have to cover Take-Two’s legal costs.
This sad saga has finally come to an end.
