Lindsay Lohan got her lawyers to file a suit against an E-Trade add. The offending like asked a toddler if he was out on a date with a milkoholic Lindsay. For Lohan that is a $100M dollar insult.
You can bet on one thing. It will be thrown out of court so fast on the first day, for her it will be a WTF moment.
Several reasons exist for this. First it said milkoholic. There is nothing deleterious about that. Indeed one could say that being accused of loving dairy would be a redeeming point.
Second she claims that the name Lindsay is a brand. This it is not. Lindsay is a far more common name. Even Madonna can’t exactly sue because Madonna is a religious figure. The latter never did sue the Catholic Church for name infringement. And Lindsay is a very common personal name. Had the ad said Lohan, she might have had a case.
Third, any lawsuit like this implies some sort of injury or damage. It does not.
Fourth, earlier the same day a cosmetic firm dropped her sponsorship deal.
