Lindsay Lohan Considering Suit Against Jewelry Company Over Sale Of Surveillance Video
Posted on Tue Mar 8, 2011 03:25 PM PDT
Lindsay Lohan is contemplating suing jewelry store Kamofie & Co. over the sale of the surveillance video, claiming they are using her image without permission.
As X17online previously reported, the video was licensed to Entertainment Tonight for upwards of $35,000.
Lindsay's camp has long argued that the jewelry store has leveled the felony theft accusation against Lindsay in order to gain publicity for their Venice boutique. Now Eonline is reporting that Lilo is meeting with lawyers to consider legal action against the company.
Kamofie & Co. have issued a statement saying they have nothing to do with the licensing of the video to ET.
"We have heard the report today that Lindsay Lohan is preparing to sue Kamofie & Co...claiming [we] had no right to release the surveillance video. We wish to remind everyone that we turned the tape over to the Associated Press and that Kamofie & Co. has had no contact or dealings with Entertainment Tonight," said a store spokesperson.
Yet the AP is simply acting as a middleman for the company, whether they had contact with the licensee or not, they are still profiting.
So does Lilo have a case?
Legal experts think not. The assumption when you walk into a store is that you know you are being filmed. Therefore Lindsay has no case!

She needs to make money by hook or by crook.
That video is her greatest starring role as an adult LMAO
LOCK UP LINDSAY
Her last successful movie was when she was a teen?
This girl has all the characteristics of a psychopath.
She will have more problems as she ages.
Attacking the victims motives is a prime tactic of criminals.
mostly by crook it seems
She will probably plead down on Friday - which will brand her as a thief forever.
Hollywood is mad. She is peaking right now.
Lindsay gets her awesome bosoms from Dina.
The store should sue her right back for inflicting financial and emotional distress on them.
Lindsay already has another civil suit against her ,brought by the people she took on a drug induced high speed ride aginst their will.
Lindsay will end up peddling blow jobs on the corner of Beverly and Highland.
Why did the store owner allow Lindsay to walk out,wearing the necklace?
Was the owner in cahoots on the whole thing?
OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Is it not the property of the jeweler??? If I got caught robbing a bank, I don't own the video that shows me robbing the bank, neither does Lindsay. She committed a crime in THEIR STORE and they videotaped her crime, who cares if they get to profit from the sale of the tape, they own it.
this is NOT ABOUT use of her image, buitch stole a necklace and got caught doding it on tape. The tape DOES NOT vindicate her, it shows her STEALING A NECKLACE, if she did want to be on tape in a jewelry store that people got to see, then she shoulda notta STOLE A NECKLACE> SO glad this is a felony case, she'll be a CONVICTED FELON FOREVER!!!!!

"in cohoots"??? the owner IN COHOOTS to let someone steal a necklace and drag herself into a messy court case that takes up time, energy, not to mention the sullying of their reputation by being associated with this everything-turns-to-shit-when-I-touch-it-LINDSAY LOHAN. Right, "ooh I want her to come steal from us, it will be so BITCHIN when we have to file that police report that this thieving bitch stole a necklace worth $2500, it will rock so hard when I have to go to the police department to file a report, talk to detectives. It will be even more awesome when I have to take time off work to go to court, lose money....."
She's nuts, it's public property what the hell is she suing for? Is she that desperate?
Who knew being a professional loser would be so profitable.
Wow! This is one of the most disgusting legal maneuvers ever! Oh course if will backfire, like everything else does, and be one more nail in the coffin of the public's absolute disgust of these world class grifter maggots known as Lohans! I cannot wait for the wheels of real justice to start turning on the 10th and for her hard earned jail and later prison terms to commence. maybe NASA should find a way to banish them to the depths of outer space so that the rest of the world no longer has to suffer this criminal family!
The lindsay lohan stolen necklace story is starting to sound a lot like a story that made national headlines 10 years ago when another former child star was accused of theft but according to her, her fans, and some people in the media she did nothing wrong. Winona ryder was detained by saks fifth avenue security in 2001 for having stolen clothes from the store but according to her and her fans winona would never steal because she could have paid for anything that she wanted that was in the store or could have gotten it for free if she had talked to the owner prior to her appearing in the store. A security video of the entire winona incident was sold to extra just like the security video of the lindsay incident was sold to entertainment tonight. Winona's fans even started a free winona campaign that started online which inevitably lead to free winona shirts that was worn by her fans who grew up on her movies. She even wore the shirt on the air when she hosted saturday night live months later. That idiot who works for e news giuliana famously went on e news at the time after having seen the video and declared that winona had done nothing wrong and that she was being set up but in the end she along with the rest of the winona fans had a lot of egg on their faces after she was found guilty after it went to trial with winona being humiliated after the verdict was handed out. The prosecutor even slammed winona as a celebrity who had resorted to pretending to care about missing children specifically a young girl polly klaas who had disappeared to try to make it seem as if she was a good person. Polly eventually was found dead and the incident was used against winona to paint a negative portrait of her and it worked. Would danette meyers go after lindsay if she tried to cite that she is really a saint because according to lindsay she lead a raid against human traffickers in india? Probably. Winona since then has had a hard time finding work and recently appeared in black swan for 2 minutes as a washed up for former child prodigy who is now a has been. If this goes to trial then the hatred that already exists for the lohans will only increase because it will turn into a circus. Can you imagine what it would be like? Day 1 of the lindsay lohan trial. Day 2 of the lindsay lohan trial and on and on and on. If you want to kill any chance of having a comeback then a trial that will be broadcast on live tv everyday will do the job.
Clarence Darrow would spit in her eyes and tell her to do the time and get her act together or plan on being a jailhouse pro.
Is her v.o.p./preliminary hearing what will be occurring on thursday? Or will it be transfered for further proceedings? At any rate, if she goes forward with the preliminary hearing there is a very very good chance the court will find probable cause to bind lohan over for trial. AND, based upon the testimony and evidence at the time of the hearing if the court finds that it is 1% more likely than not that she intended to permanently or temporarily deprive the owner of the property, it will constitute a violation of probation and the remainder of her sentence, even more than 6 months, may be imposed immediately with credit for time served. Lohan will then be remanded. While lohan is in jail, the state has way more leverage to extrapolate a plea to the underlying offense. She will plead quickly. The questions isn't "will" lohan do time, rather, it is really, "how" much time. It is conceivable that the judge might make a special order to the County Sheriff that she serve at least 80% of her time to effectuate the courts sentencing intent. She should plead now before bound over for trial and might have a chance to be out by the time of trial.
lilo?
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!
Whatever happened to the LiLo who put her internal anger and pain into writing riveting rock ballads like "Confessions of a Broken Heart"? She's like a bawling baby who smells like expired collagen and Red Bull urine. The LiLo of today is constantly butt hurt for absolutely no reason. Who wants to be butt hurt without having butt sex? That's no fun. I swear, this WAH WAH WAH bitch is crying at everything. I bet when she watches "It Gets Better" videos, she thinks they are talking to her.
Cry me a river, ho! No, seriously, please do, because that river is probably 100 proof. Get your cups out!
Cyrus went on a show that makes fun of her every week and reveled in it with the 2nd highest ratings grab for SNL this year, and LiLo got pissed over that little bit of nothing? Grow the f*ck up and be glad people still talk about you, at all.
LMAO what a trainwreck. Hey Lindsay, you gonna sue your mom for going on Good Morning America last week and SELLING your baby pictures?
Hope you get a year in jail so we can be free of your toxic family in the news for a long time.
"Lindsay Lohan’s outing to Kamofie & Company not only led to felony charges against the starlet but now may be the center of a civil lawsuit filed by Lindsay against her own mother.
Outraged over the selling of pictures showing Lindsay as a baby to the Good Morning America show by Dina, Lilo tells RadarOnline exclusively that she is considering a lawsuit against her mother."
They need to put her ass in jail, and throw the key away for ever. Put her in jail with the hardened criminals, and then, perhaps, she will finally learn her lesson. NOT!!!!LIndsay Lohan is a waste of air and space. Like I have said a million times already, Lindsay needs to take her parents to court and file for emancipation from her them.
A store owner stands by,does nothing and watches a customer leave the store
without paying for an item. Who is guilty of stealing?
Always suing someone, that is the only way she makes money anymore
12:55, it's been explained how she stole it, but you are obviously too stupid or just lying and cannot accept reality. Of course a douche like you wants to make the victim of a theft into a criminal.
12:55 IT"S NOT ABHOUT WHAT THE STORE WONER DID OR DID NOT DO, what is wrong with you, you stupid stupid bitch. Let me answer your question for you, since you are too stupid to answer it for yourself. "
"Who is guilty of stealing?"
Answer-"The person who is ON TAPE PUTTING ON THE NECKLACE< AND WALKING OUT OF THE STORE WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT, and then CONTINUED TO WEAR the necklace knowing FULL WELL she hadn't PAID FOR THE NECKLACE"
COME ON NOW we are not stupid, this is not about "I wasn't in the store" or "the jeweler lent it to me, I don't bother myself to fill out paperwork, OR the ever popular my assistant forgot to return it" LIES LIES LIES
