Lindsay Lohan will have to accept the fact that GTA V’s Lacey Jonas was not based on her and did not capitalize on her celebrity. New York’s highest court, the state’s Court of Appeals, has determined that there is simply no recognizable likeness between the two.
“We conclude a computer-generated image may constitute a portrait within the meaning of that law,” wrote the court. “We also conclude, however, that the subject images are not recognizable as plaintiff, and that the amended complaint, which contains four causes of action for violation of privacy pursuant to Civil Rights Law §§ 50 and 51, was properly dismissed.”
