The 'Florida Joker,' who previously alleged that Rockstar used his likeness in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, has returned with a new demand.
This time, he's seeking a speaking role in the game. However, it's not a substitute for payment, as he still insists on monetary compensation from Rockstar, threatening legal action if his demands are not met.
In early December, Rockstar officially unveiled the trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, generating considerable excitement for the upcoming installment in the renowned open-world game series.

Sullivan took to TikTok, urging Rockstar to get in touch with him. He requested at least a million dollars for what he perceives as his "appearance" in the game. Sullivan concluded his video by reiterating that he doesn't want to involve lawyers, but, he promised, "if I've got to, I will."
Notably, actress Lindsay Lohan previously attempted to sue Rockstar for allegedly using her image in GTA 5, but the case was ultimately dismissed.
