NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York State’s highest court on Thursday rejected Lindsay Lohan’s appeal accusing the maker of “Grand Theft Auto V” of invading her privacy, concluding that video game characters that the actress said were based on her did not resemble her.

 By a 6-0 vote, the state Court of Appeals called Take-Two Interactive Software Inc’s depictions “nothing more than cultural comment,” and said it owed Lohan no damages. 
 
 A spokesman for Lohan declined to comment. Her lawyer Frank Delle Donne was not immediately available for comment. Take-Two, based in New York, did not respond to requests for comment. 
 
 Lohan, 31, had objected to an alleged look- and sound-alike character, Lacey Jonas, who called herself “really famous” and an “actress slash singer” as she tried to hide from paparazzi. 
 
 She also objected to depiction of a blonde woman, shown in one image being frisked by a police officer, and in another wearing a red bikini and jewelry, taking a selfie with her cellphone and flashing a peace sign. 
 
 In Thursday’s decision, Judge Eugene Fahey said a computer image, or avatar, may constitute a “portrait” to support an invasion of privacy claim under New York civil rights law. 
 
 But he said Lohan could not prevail because “Grand Theft Auto V” merely depicted a generic “twenty something” woman, without any suggestion it was her. 
 
 “The amended complaint was properly dismissed because the artistic renderings are indistinct, satirical representations of the style, look, and persona of a modern, beach-going young woman that are not reasonably identifiable as plaintiff,” Fahey wrote. 
 
 In a separate order, the court dismissed similar claims against Take-Two by Karen Gravano, a star of the reality TV series “Mob Wives,” over another character. 
 
 Lohan’s movies include 1998’s “The Parent Trap” and 2004’s “Mean Girls,” but acting roles became harder to find following legal and other problems. 
 
 The “Grand Theft Auto” series has sold more than 275 million units. 
 
 The case is Lohan v Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, New York State Court of Appeals, No. 24. 

 Actress Lindsay Lohan’s attempt to have the makers of "Grand Theft Auto" held liable for violating her privacy fizzled in New York’s top court. 
 
 The state Court of Appeals in Albany rejected Lohan’s request to reinstate her lawsuit against Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., in which she claimed the video game’s creators used her likeness without permission. 
 
 Images of a character named Lacey Jonas in "Grand Theft Auto V" aren’t recognizable as the "Mean Girls" actress, the court ruled Thursday. While the court said that avatars in a video game can be interpreted as a portraits under state law, it said the character, along with two other images in the game, is a "generic artistic description" of a 20-something woman, without any characteristics of Lohan. 
 
 "These artistic renderings are indistinct, satirical representations of the style, look and persona of a modern, beach-going young woman," the court said, noting it’s undisputed that the company didn’t refer to Lohan in the game and didn’t use a photograph of her. 
 
 The ruling is likely to boost video-game makers in fights with athletes and celebrities who claim their likenesses are being used without permission. It also follows a March 26 decision by a California state appeals court that threw out Dame Olivia de Havilland’s lawsuit claiming over her depiction in an FX Networks docudrama about a feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. 
 
 The New York court also upheld a ruling dismissing a similar lawsuit to Lohan’s filed by Karen Gravano, the daughter of former Mafia underboss and FBI informant Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. She also alleged her likeness was used in the game.
– It's game over for Lindsay Lohan's lawsuit against the publisher of the Grand Theft Auto video game series. Reuters reports the New York Court of Appeals voted 6-0 on Thursday to toss the actress' lawsuit against Take-Two Interactive. Lohan had accused Take-Two of violating her privacy rights by using her likeness for a character in Grand Theft Auto V. In the game, the character, Lacey Jonas, calls herself "really famous" and an "actress slash singer." Lohan claimed the game included references to Mean Girls and the hotel where she lived. The lawsuit was filed in 2014 and a judge originally ruled it could go forward, but that decision was overturned in 2016 by an appeals court that ruled Lohan's privacy wasn't violated because the game didn't use her actual name, portrait, or picture. While the New York Court of Appeals on Thursday ruled video game avatars could indeed violate a person's right to privacy and should be treated the same, legally speaking, as images in photographs, they also ruled that wasn't the case when it came to Lohan and GTAV. "Here, the Jonas character simply is not recognizable as plaintiff inasmuch as it merely is a generic artistic depiction of a 'twenty something' woman without any particular identifying physical characteristics," the court's opinion states. "The ambiguous representations in question are nothing more than cultural comment that is not recognizable as plaintiff and therefore is not actionable." The court also dismissed similar claims against Take-Two by Mob Wives star Karen Gravano, Bloomberg reports.
