Selena Gomez files $10 mln lawsuit against video game for using her likeness

Selena Gomez has hit the manufacturers of a video game with a $10 million lawsuit over using her likeness.

A phone game titled “Clothes Forever – Styling Game” will “allow you to live out all your fantasies and become the fashionista you were born to be!”

Users of the game can purchase “diamonds” which can be redeemed for virtual shopping trips with celeb characters.

According to reports, the singer is suing Guangzhou Feidong Software Technology Co. and British company MutantBox Interactive Limited for using a similar image to one of Gomez, taken from her Flare magazine cover.

The suit states, “Nor, if asked, would Gomez have consented to such use for the Game, which apparently relies on the unsavoury practice of luring its users to make in-game purchases in amounts as much as $99.99 to fund imaginary spending in the Game and unlock features”.

It added that Gomez has “carefully curated all endorsements and business opportunities” to be a role model to young girls and to further her goals.

Other celeb lookalikes in the game include Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.
