8 Times Celebrities Spectacularly Failed At Suing The Gaming Industry

6. Lindsay Lohan Vs. Rockstar Games (Grand Theft Auto V)

The most recent example of this sort of thing on the list, Lohan recently prompted quite a stir by accusing Rockstar of using her likeness for their cover-girl and in-game character Lacey Jonas. The most hilarious thing - and what's really quite annoying if the rumours of this being the reason the Heist DLC is being delayed are true - is that the only thing propping up Lohan's claims is that the girl in the game is blonde, and is holding a cell phone... Now last we checked that doesn't narrow things down a whole lot. Even though Lohan's lawyers mentioned the fact that Jonas has a mission where you pick her up from a building resembling Lohan-favourite haunt Chateau Marmont - before shielding her from paparazzi - Rockstar aren't having to struggle to defend themselves, instead stating that the whole thing is clearly a large publicity stunt.
