Lindsay Lohan is suing the rapper Pitbull and associates for mentioning her arrest record in his hit, “Give Me Everything.” The song goes “he’s got it locked up, like Lindsay Lohan.” Given her rap sheet, that seems like an innocuous reference, but Lohan claims the song released March 18 has injured her career and caused her grievous emotional distress.
You would think Lohan damaged any claims to privacy by repeatedly drawing attention to herself with illegal acts, but she says Pitbull violated her privacy by using her name without permission. She wants all copies of the song turned over to her or destroyed and to enjoin the defendants from ever performing the song again. -db
