Who remembers Auntie Poulet, the Jamaican fortune teller from 2002’s GTA: Vice City? Fifteen years later, she’s the rationale Rockstar are getting sued. Again.
Fancy suing Rockstar? Try to identify your self in an NPC whereas enjoying with the best GTA5 mods.
The plaintiff are the Psychic Readers Network (PRN), who maintain the rights to a TV ‘psychic’ named Miss Cleo. PRN declare they’ve spent over $100 million creating and selling Miss Cleo’s persona, and that GTA makers Rockstar have made greater than 5 occasions that quantity exploiting their character with out their permission.
In a press release to TMZ, Rockstar say “these claims are entirely meritless and completely ridiculous. We will vigorously defend ourselves with regard to this matter.”
In equity to PRN, Rockstar really employed the actress who used to play Miss Cleo – Youree Harris, who died final 12 months – and had her voice Auntie Poulet. So the lawsuit might not be fully frivolous, versus the notorious (and barely self-sabotaging) allegation by Lindsay Lohan nondescript social media-obsessed blonde tween should’ve been based mostly on her.
It’s beginning to really feel like everybody desires a chunk of Rockstar today. Bets on subsequent to sue? My cash is on Clint Eastwood when Red Dead II comes out.
