Game's Makers Claim #LindsayLohan Sued Grand Theft Auto Because She's A "Grand Publicity Seeker"

The makers of the popular game "Grand Theft Auto" have accused Lindsay Lohan of suing them to get attention after she filed a lawsuit in July claiming they used her voice, image and style in their creation of a character named Lacey Jonas.

In the court docs published yesterday, Take-Two Interactive Software and subsidiary company, Rockstar Games, said the case was frivolous and claim it was “filed for publicity purposes”. The company denies using Lindsay as a character, saying that the only resemblance is that they are both young, blonde women.

In the docs filed by Lindsay, she alleges that Grand Theft Auto V features a hotel similar to the Hotel Chateau Marmont of West Hollywood, where she once resided, However, the game-makers said

“This allegation underscores the thinness of Ms. Lohan’s claims: GTAV is a parody of Los Angeles, so it is unsurprising that it features similar buildings.”

The producers of the game are now demanding the lawsuit be dropped and are asking that Lindsay pays their legal fees.
