'Florida's Joker' Alleges Rockstar Games Used His Image In GTA 6
Portfolio Pulse from Ananya Gairola
Lawrence Sullivan, known as 'Florida's Joker' due to his face tattoos, alleges that Take-Two Interactive Software's Rockstar Games used his likeness without permission in the trailer for the upcoming game GTA 6. Sullivan made his claims on TikTok, demanding compensation. This situation mirrors a past incident where actress Lindsay Lohan sued Rockstar over a character in GTA 5, but her lawsuit was dismissed. The outcome of Sullivan's claim is uncertain, and the game is set to release in 2025.
