Florida Joker is in the news again, this time demanding to speak with Rockstar Games, or to be given $1-2 million over his likeness in GTA 6.

I don't really know what the Florida Joker did other than look horrible, but I kind of agree that Rockstar took his likeness to the benefit of their game. He should be compensated.

I'd be pretty upset too if someone used my likeness in a game and applied it to some fucked up scenario.

With GTAV, Kate Upton also sued for her likeness being taken for one of the loading screens. I don't recall how that one ended.

Looked it up, apparently Lindsay Lohan sued them and lost. The image is without a doubt Kate Uptons face traced over a real life photo though from what I just saw, but she herself hasn't tried to sue them..
