It turns out the Lindsay Lohan GTA 5 lawsuit wasn't a bluff; she's decided to sue Take Two and Rockstar Games for using her likeness in the latest Grand Theft Auto game.

Lindsay took her time considering the lawsuit, filing it at a Manhattan court Monday. Lacey Jonas's character in GTA 5 was an unequivocal image of her, according to the claim. She's demanding damages for using her image (her voice and fashion style) without her consent.

Though the similarities are debatable, there's a side mission in Grand Theft Auto V that requires players to escort a female celebrity to her home, help her avoid the paparazzi. There's a vague semblance to Lindsay, and the character is even taken to a hotel that looks like the Chateau Marmont, the West Hollywood hotel where Lindsay used to stay in.

In the game, Michael isn't familiar with Lacey Jonas' celebrity status; Jonas saw it as an insult, exclaiming "I'm the voice of a generation!" It's ironic that the same character also said "I don't need any more lawsuits!" in the same conversation.

Lindsay Lohan GTA 5 claim is yet to be considered, but Take Two and Rockstar Games have a solid defense to their side. The company has asserted "life stories" aren't protected by the law by default, and neither is any company responsible for lawsuits against works of fiction with similarities to persons, places or events.

Lindsay isn't the only one with cause for the claim, if in fact hers is recognized at the courts. Other celebrities and personalities are parodied in Grand Theft Auto 5, some more conspicuous than others (independent.co.uk).

There's a random (non-playable) pedestrian walking the streets of Los Santos who bears a spitting image of Tupac Shakur, and Mark Zuckerberg is also a lampooned character. "Mob Wives" mainstay Karen Gravano also filed a similar lawsuit several months ago, claiming the character Antonia Bottino was based on her life and her father's involvement in the mob.
