Lindsay Lohan is suing online financial trading company ETrade for $100 million for “pain and suffering” after the company ran a Super Bowl advertisement that Lohan says was based on her.
Lohan wants ETrade give her $1 for every viewer of the commercial she says has had an impact on her image, which she claims is as valuable as that of Oprah Winfrey or Madonna. Okaaaaay.
The ETrade ad in question features a baby talking to his girlfriend about the importance of building a diversified portfolio with ETrade’s online tools, but she wonders what else he’s been up to and claims he is a “milkaholic.”
In a lawsuit filed on Monday in New York, the actress claims that ETrade is using the Lindsay Lohan brand to “make money.”
Her attorney says: “They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”
