It looks likes the makers of Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) are about to suffer the wrath of Lindsay Lohan. The actress who turned 28 yesterday, July 2nd, has reportedly made good on threats to sue the makers of GTA 5 over claims that her likeness is used without her permission in the highly popular game.
Lohan who brought up suing the makers of GTA 5 back in December pulled the trigger today on a lawsuit against Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive on an alleged charge that the character of Lacey Jonas in the game is an unambiguous reference to her.
According to the complain, “the developer incorporated her image, likeness, clothing, outfits, Plaintiff’s clothing line products, ensemble in the form of hats, hair style, sunglasses, jean shorts worn by the Plaintiff that were for sale to the public at least two years.”
The best selling video game GTA V was released on September 17th, 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and will hit PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One later this year.
Neither Take-Two nor Rock Star Games have commented on this matter.
