Lindsay Lohan’s case against Grand Theft Auto V developers Rockstar Games has been thrown out of court.
Lohan claimed that the game’s character, Lacey Jonas, was based around her. In the game, Jonas could be rescued from swarms of paparazzi by players and Lohan’s lawsuit asserted the character’s storyline was “substantially similar” to her life.
In the lawsuit, Lohan’s lawyers claimed “it is unequivocal that the Plaintiff was the intended referent in the GTA V game by using her likenesses, portraits, and voice solely to advertise the game for trade purposes.”
In a New York court on Thursday however, it was ruled that the actress had no case against Rockstar Games as her name wasn’t used and the Jonas character did not look exactly like her.
The ruling said that the character was “a work of fiction and satire”.
