Lohan's suit against Take-Two Interactive Software Inc - which was filed today (July 2) - says the character Lacey Jonas, who seeks help skirting paparazzi, is an "unequivocal" reference to the actress. 

She also claims her image, voice and styles from her clothing line are used in the game, with legal documents alleging that "the portraits of the Plaintiff [Lohan] incorporated her image, likeness, clothing, outfits, Plaintiff's clothing line products, ensemble in the form of hats, hair style, sunglasses, jean shorts worn by the Plaintiff that were for sale to the public at least two years".

The game also features a previous home of Lohan's: West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel.

It was first reported in December that Lohan was considering taking legal action against the makers of GTA V.

Grand Theft Auto V was the biggest selling game of 2013, and has sold over 32.5 million units worldwide.
