Rockstar are no strangers to controversy, routinely courting it in the Grand Theft Auto games to various degrees of success. Then there are the times they appear to ruffle feathers without even intending to, as seems to be the case with both the Lindsay Lohan thing (which has long since been thrown out of court) and a similar lawsuit filed by Karen Gravano. Who is Karen Gravano, you may well be asking yourself. Who indeed? A similar question may have been asked by the courts. Shes one of the stars of the reality television programme Mob Wives which, to be fair, does sound like a pretty good TV show. Like, more exciting than the Real Housewives of wherever, if not quite at the level of Rupaul's Drag Race. Gravano was seeking $40 million in damages because of the character of Antonia Bottino, one of those random-encounter NPC missions who complains about having spent time in witness protection thanks her father, mob boss Sammy 'Sonny' Bottino. Gravano went through a similar thing thanks to her dad but, really, there the similarities end.
