This whole thing is a mess! I’d really like to believe Linds is innoncent in this whole ordeal though, because if not…her entire rehab stint was in vain and I want to see her finally get back on her feet! With the ongoing legal battle over whether she stole the necklace from the jewelry store, she’s now prepping to sue because the store sold the surveillance tape with her footage without her permission. I’m no lawyer but that sounds like great grounds to sue! You shouldn’t be able to profit off someone else’s image…especially in the midst of all the legal mess! Watch the tape and read more info after the jump.
Sources report that Lindsay Lohan has her lawyers working double-time this week as she is planning on suing the Venice jewelry store for selling their surveillance tape from the day she allegedly stole their merchandise.
LiLo argues that she never gave them the right to use her image for $$$ gain. That’s a pretty big strike against them, considering they managed to wrangle in $40,000 for handing over the rights to Entertainment Tonight for this one week and stand to make even more when the tape is sold non-exclusively to other media outlets after that.
We hear Lindsay has a meeting with her lawyers today to discuss the lawsuit further, but no word yet on when she plans to file the suit. If we had to guess, we’d wager it’ll be after she’s proven guilty or innocent by its footage.
Upon hearing the news that LiLo plans on crushing them for their ill-deed, a rep for Kamofie released this statement:
“We regret to hear there is trepedation by Miss Lohan in connection with the video. We hope that everyone understands that this is beyond our control, the flood of the requests to see this video were simply too overwhelming. It was truely neccesarry to put it out.”
Sounds like bull to me! You DEFINITELY could have just ignored the “requests.” Pretty simple really.
