Lindsay Lohan has contacted her legal team to prepare a lawsuit against the makers of game "Grand Theft Auto V", TMZ reports. The "Mean Girls" actress apparently wants to sue Rockstar Games executives for allegedly using her image in the game without permission, demanding some money from the company.
According to the report, some points which are taken into issue include a blonde character's looks on the game's cover. Kotaku, however, reports that the character's appearance is based on model Shelby Welinder. Another point which apparently becomes problem is a mission in which players are asked to take a photo of a game character who looks similar to Lohan having sex "at a hotel resembling the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood - a place Lindsay not only frequents but once lived at." In addition, the game character asks players' help to escape paparazzi.
Representatives for Rockstar Games have not replied queries concerning the lawsuit report. "Grand Theft Auto V" has become the fastest selling video game of all time after it made $1 billion in sales only three days after the release.
In other news, Lohan shared a topless photo of her on Instagram on Saturday, November 30. The photo shows her reclining on bed, propped up with pillows. She apparently only wears a necklace in the snap.
