Actress and brother sued for ‘stealing’ app idea

by

Another day, another drama for Lindsay Lohan.

The actress and her brother Michael are reportedly being sued by a tech developer, who claims they robbed his website idea to create their own app.

In the court documents obtained by TMZ, Fima Potik claims that the Lohans had initially agreed to work with him on ‘Spotted Friend’, an app which allows you to see and purchase the clothes your favourite celebrities are wearing.

However, after talks regarding ownership fell through, the siblings launched their own app, Vigme, which is uncannily similar to Potik’s original idea.

Potik is now suing the Lohans for a whopping $60 million for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and loyalty, and unfair competition.

Naturally, the Lohans are fighting the charges, and if their lawyer Ravi Batra is anything to go by, they are ready for the fight.

“I look forward to holding Fima’s feet to the legal fire and hope he is wearing fireproof clothing all the way to the appeals court,” said Batra.

It looks like it’s going to be an interesting case.
