Court Rejects Lindsay Lohan’s Appeal in GTA V Likeness Lawsuit

[Megalith]

Lindsay Lohan will have to accept the fact that GTA V’s Lacey Jonas was not based on her and did not capitalize on her celebrity. New York's highest court, the state’s Court of Appeals, has determined that there is simply no recognizable likeness between the two.

"We conclude a computer-generated image may constitute a portrait within the meaning of that law," wrote the court. "We also conclude, however, that the subject images are not recognizable as plaintiff, and that the amended complaint, which contains four causes of action for violation of privacy pursuant to Civil Rights Law §§ 50 and 51, was properly dismissed."

Didn't know this was happening. Lindsay never crossed my mind when playing GTA. I've always thought of Lindsay as a redhead, didn't even know she dyed her hair blonde. Haven't really cared to keep track of her.

This has been going on for years now. This chick and her lawyer team just would not give up. Takes stupid to a new level (other than flat earthers). Looks like this thing can finally be buried so deep, no one talks about Lindsay Lohan anymore. She got a lot of publicity out of it (milked it) and that was most likely the purpose of it all along.

Man.

Lindsay Lohan don't look like that no more.

 

[AceGoober]

Character represented in GTA V doesn't have saggies. Case dismissed!

 

[WhoMe]

I'm with the court on this one, never looked like her to me...even in her heyday. I gather her career isn't going so well, guess that explains the law suit, but it's never a sure thing: more like gambling.

I thought it was pretty funny when the voice actor for "Micheal" started mocking her through Twitter. It seemed like something the character himself would do.

 

[Chupachup]

This case was laughable out of the gate! She's as desperate as Rose McGowan to raise her visibility and garner any attention she can. No one seems to miss either when they're out of the spotlight.

I'm guessing if she had any talent, there would be no lawsuits. She'd be busy, with work.

If only we could sue them for being dumb asses and making a game with pvp peer to peer.

 

[BloodyIron]

Because she's the only blonde bimbo in a bikini right? Fucking imbecile.

 

[alamox]

i like GTAV chick better.

 

[Exavior]

and maybe now she can go fade away and never be heard from again.

I thought Kate Upton had a better case than Lindsay Lohan did.

 

[sfsuphysics]

The girl in GTAV (Michael daughter) is an annoying fucking cunt, hell the whole family is. I wish I could have put a bullet in the boys head, but nooooooooooo can't do that.

Shelby Welinder should sue next

 

[Shmee]

Even if it was based on her, she would have lost anyway because of the way satire laws work. It was only dismissed because it didn't look like her either.

 

[steakman1971]

I don't really see a lot of resemblance. Long blond hair, nice smallish->medium sized titties. There are lots of people that look like this. Had this case not been brought up, I don't think I would have made the association. Shrugs.

In terms of Hollywood, Lindsay Lohan's place has been taken by Emma Stone, who's gone on to have a very good career. If Lindsay had kept her act together, she'd have Stone's career; maybe even a better one.

 

[ChoGGi]

Why do I get the feeling Big_Rig_Stig doesn't like Lindsay?

 

[Nanogrip]

But Lohan is a Muslima now and video games are for infidels.
