"Y'all took my likeness. Y'all took my life."

‘Florida Joker’ - or Lawrence Sullivan - recently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:took to social media to point o🦄ut the similarities between himself and a character from the trailer. Sullivan first drew attentio🎀n after mug shots featuring his dyed hair and face tattoos went viral - and he consequently gained the Florida Joker moniker.

“That’s me. That’s the person they got the inspiration from. That’s me. That’s me,” Sullivan repeats in a recently shared video, pointing at pictures of himself and the in-game 🦩character. “GTA, we gotta talk. Or no, you gotta give me like a mill or two,” he continues, “Y’all tౠook my likeness. Y’all took my life.”

This isn’t Rockstar Games’s first time in the hot seat, obviously. Whe💯n GTA V was initially released, actor the company over claims that they used her likeness for a minor character in the game. Her claims were thrown out in 2018, as a New York court said the character was just a “generic young woman.” Sullivan hasn’t taken legal action just yet.
Sullivan’s complaints may not be the last likeness-related controversies coming for GTA 6 since its first trailer depicts a Vice City that’s just as chaotic as its real-world c🎃ounterpart (Flori🐟da).
As for the game itself, one former developer said “it’s really gonna look like this.” Also check out the澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: five most impressive things from GTA 6, based on our expert detective work.
