Actress Lindsay Lohan (Mean Girls) is suing the videogame makers of the popular Grand Theft Auto V franchise. The allegations claim Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Rockstar Games created the character, Lacey Jonas, based on her without consent.
In the lawsuit, The Canyons actress states the fifth installment swipes not only her image likeness, but also events from her troubled past. The fictional character, Jonas, is a mish-mashed reference to the Machete co-star's previous films, Mean Girls and Freaky Friday.
Lohan's likeness, voice, and clothing style are depicted in the actual game itself. Hounded by the paparazzi, the has-been actress asks the game player to shoot the tabloid photographers. Bridget Burke voices the role of an anorexic starlet obsessed with herself.
Check out this video of the 'Lacey Jonas' mission in the game. The level begins when the blonde-haired vixen enters your car and the wheels start spinning. You have to drive fast and plow through traffic as the paparazzi are chasing after you.
As the driver, you consistently listen to Jonas whine about how supposedly fat she is and how cute she looks in her skimpy outfit. The narcissist thespian talks about how she is idolized, even worshipped at the feet by her demographic. Jonas is the closest thing to "royalty" that her fans actually have.
Both Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Rockstar Games have declined to comment about the suit.
In her lawsuit, Lindsay Lohan claims the makers of the Grand Theft Auto V videogame used everything about her without permission. Readers, what do you think of the allegations?
