Lindsay Lohan Suing Etrade
Lindsay Lohan Suing Etrade – Lindsay Lohan is no milkaholic.
And that’s likely why the 23-year-old star is suing financial company E-Trade for $100 million for using her name in its latest commercial about a boyfriend-stealing “milkaholic” baby.
In the ad, which debuted during this year’s Super Bowl in February, a baby boy apologizes to his girlfriend for not calling her the night before.
“And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn’t over?” the baby girl asks before another baby girl pops into the screen saying, “Milk-a-whaaat?” (Watch the video here.)
Lohan filed the lawsuit Monday, which claims the ad violated the star’s rights under New York state civil-rights law.
“Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,” Lohan’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said in a statement to the New York Post. “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’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”
