According to sources Lindsay Lohan is suing E trade over a Super Bowl commercial which features a milkaholic boyfriend stealing baby named Lindsay.
The lawsuit filed on Monday in New York Lohan claims that it violates civil rights when E trade used the likeness of the plaintiff’s name, characterization, and personality in the commercial. The suit claims that E trade committed tortuous acts and are causing injury to Lohan with the commercial.
Lindsay Lohan is asking for fifty million dollars for the commercial with the babies. Is she serious? And another fifty million in damages to her image. This was a commercial. It is a legitimate case because if anybody looks at it they know her name and charaxterization has in fact been used. It was just a commercial using babies and there have been other commercials that e trade has done with babies.
Lohan also wants the commercial to be taken off the air completely and all the tapes be given to her.Some people are claiming it is just a publicity stunt. Although Lindsay Lohan denies this fact.
It’s a very tough lawsuit to prevail on cause you run into a very meddlesome barrier which is the first amendment –I don’t think this is going to pass a pleading stage or motion to dismiss. He added that Lohan probably would’ve made more money using E trade than suing them. I don’t know if she will win this case or not, seems kind of on the iffy side if you ask me.
