Hollywood Actress Lindsay Lohan had some good news in her ongoing legal dispute with former business partner Fima Potik this week , as it has been agreed that a restraining order against her will be lifted. The
29-year-old, along with brother Michael Lohan Jr and another associate
Chris Roth, are being sued for $60 million over claims they'd stolen the
idea for fashion app Spotted Friend from Potik, launching their own
version called Vigme.
According to Lohan's lawyer Ravi Batra, the
temporary restraining order had prevented them from working on their
business for over a year.
“Fima has disobeyed three court orders to produce proof that
he had a working app by June 2013, something he was never able to
prove,” he told the publication.
Branding Potik a “celebrity
leech” he said the developer was a “spoiled little wannabe trust-fund
baby who wants to hang out with Lindsay and who got himself a lot of ink
by suing”.
The lawsuit was first brought about last year by Potik
. He claimed that when a deal with Lohan to start the venture fell
through, she began developing a similar idea with her brother.
Marc E. Kasowitz, Mr Potiks lawyer, said at the time: “Prior
to their involvement in Vigme, [the Lohans and Roth] were members of
Spotted Friend LLC, a social commerce start-up that was founded by Fima
Potik in 2013.
"It is Mr. Potik — not the Lohans — that created
and developed the idea for a mobile application that allows users to
access celebrities’ and friends’ ‘virtual closets’ and to directly
purchase fashion items and accessories from these ‘virtual closets'."
