Judge orders Lindsay Lohan to stop promoting fashion app
New York Supreme Court judge has ruled that Lindsay Lohan and her younger brother Michael Lohan Jr must stop working on a social fashion app.
The app allows users to take a peek into and shop from the virtual closets of celebrities.
The judge gave a temporary restraining order against the Lohan siblings and their company Vigme, Inc "that prohibits them from promoting the technology and seeking partnerships and investments for the app", reports The Hollywood Reporter.
On Thursday (October 30), the Lohan siblings were hit with a $60 million lawsuit by Fima Potik, founder of the celebrity fashion website Spotted Friend, as he claimed that they stole the concept from him to form a competing company.
Potik claimed that Vigme, Inc "is identical in nearly every aspect to Spotted Friend".
Potik's lawsuit states that Lohan joined the company in 2013 and was responsible for promoting the app and convincing celebrities to use it. As part of the company, Lohan was privy to confidential information about Spotted Friend.
The judge ruled that the next hearing will happen no later than November 20, when the Lohans will be able to challenge the order.
The Canyons star was previously involved in another lawsuit that she filed against the makes of Grand Theft Auto 5. She claimed that the game based a female character on her without obtaining her permission.
