Lindsay Lohan Accused Of Lifting 'Virtual Closets' Application

MUMBAI: Actress Lindsay Lohan and her younger brother have been slapped with a lawsuit alleging they stole the idea for their fashion site from a former business associate. Lohan, 28 and brother Michael Jr reportedly struck a deal last year with tech entrepreneur Fima Potik to collaborate on his startup, Spotted Friend, a mobile application that allows users to access celebrities' 'virtual closets' to identify the designers and buy items from them.

Lindsay also tweeted about Spotted Friend in July 2013, and its website said, "A Fima Potik & Lindsay Lohan Production,", reported the New York Post. Now it is reported that Michael has been raising money for Lohan's new online application Vigme, a social shopping community that will let fans find out where to purchase other people's clothes, similar to virtual closets application.

The pair and their business partner Christopher Roth have now received a letter from Potik's lawyer, Marc E Kasowitz.
