According to Yahoo Finance, Lohan’s lawsuit alleges that in-game character Lacey Jonas is based on her likeness. The suit was filed Wednesday in New York City, where Rockstar is based. Lohan feels the character’s clothing, voice, image and style are extremely similar to her own. The New York City-born actress, who turns 28 today, also claims the game depicts West Hollywood’s famous Chateau Marmont hotel, where Lohan once resided. In "GTA 5," Lacey Jonas is depicted as a famous actress who suffers from anorexia and is constantly on the run from paparazzi. Lindsay Lohan, who turns 28 today.

This is a bad idea for Lindsey.
At worst, the judge throws it out before anything even happens. At best Rockstar walks away laughing as the judge rules it satire. |

This will get nowhere.
A model named Shelby Walinder was the inspiration, and has posted an invoice from Rockstar as she was paid for her likeness. |

There is quite a resemblance, face-wise at least. But there is more of a resemblance to the model they paid who actually has the body to go with the face.

They might just pay her to go away. It's worth a shot.
