Lindsay Lohan made good on a threat to sue makers of the popular video game Grand Theft Auto for swiping her image for a character named Lacey Jonas.
The video-game likeness of the “Mean Girls” star takes pages from the real Lohan’s life — staying at the Hotel Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, “a place where the plaintiff once lived and often frequents,” according to the Manhattan civil suit filed Wednesday.
The court papers do not mention that the former child actress skipped out on a $46,000 bill in May 2012.
Last December, Lohan’s reps announced she was crafting the suit after the fifth edition of the violent video game was released in September.
The cash-strapped actress wants unspecified money damages from video game maker Take-Two Interactive.
A rep for the company declined to comment on pending litigation.
Take-Two also used Lohan’s name without her permission to promote the game, announcing “to the general public and media venues that the game features a mission where the plaintiff’s look-alike asks another character to take her home and escape the paparazzi.”
The video game’s cover also features a curvaceous blonde in a red slinky bikini taking a selfie and flashing a peace sign — an almost identical take on a pre-existing shot of Lohan in a pink swimsuit.
That snap and others “incorporate her likeness, clothing, outfits, clothing line products, ensemble in the form of hats, hair style, sunglasses, jean shorts worn by [Lohan] … before the release of the GTA V video game,” the suit says.
Lohan boasts that she is “recognized in social media and has been a celebrity actor, regularly depicted in television, tabloids, blogs, movies, fashion related magazines, talk shows for the past 15 years,” in court papers.
She notes that other companies pay her for using her likeness, while Take-Two, a “multibillion-dollar business,” has not paid her a red cent.
“Mob Wives” star Karen Gravano also sued Take-Two earlier this year. Her suit is still pending.
