Lindsay Lohan's lawsuit against a Take-Two Interactive, the company that produced Grand Theft Auto 5, ended in the New York State Court of Appeals.
Lohan brought the lawsuit against Take-Two regarding a character that she claimed, unlawfully used her likeness, according to Polygon.
The character in question, pictured above, is Lacey Jones. Lacey Jones appears in a pop-up event "Escape Paparazzi" and is a subject of tabloid media.

In 2016, the New York Supreme Court allowed Lindsay Lohan to move forward with her lawsuit.
On March 29, the Court of Appeals ruled by a unanimous decision on the case. They stated that the characterization of the character was "indistinct, satirical representations of the style, look, and persona of a modern, beach-going young woman that are not reasonably identifiable as plaintiff."
The decision is remarkable in the fact that the video game characters can be considered a likeness that equals photographs or movies. So, future lawsuits in New York can be won on the grounds of video game characterizations.
Especially with advancements in technology, a lot of actors lending their voice and motion capture work to video games end up being digitized into the game.
Shawn Ashmore is almost an exact recreation of himself in Quantum Break. Other actors, like Ellen Page, Kristen Bell, Liam Nesson and Kiefer Sutherland, also appeared as recognizable versions of themselves in games.
Unlucky for Lohan, she doesn't have the grounds to win this one. She could take it to the Supreme Court, but she would need to find a precedent or conflicting law and there doesn't seem to be any.
Grand Theft Auto and Take Two win this round.
Do you think Lacey Jones was modeled after Lindsay Lohan?
