In December, Lawrence Sullivan, better known as the Florida Joker, gave the rock star an ultimatum. Dyeing his hair purple and wearing an orange prison uniform, he said he had three days to compensate the studio for the millions of dollars it allegedly spent on his likeness in the "Grand Theft Auto 6" trailer. [In a video uploaded to TikTok yesterday, Sullivan tells Rockstar and Take Two that he will give them "an extra month" to respond to his allegations. Because in a video uploaded to TikTok yesterday, Sullivan tells Rockstar and Take Two that he is giving them "an extension of one month" to respond to his allegations.

While generous, Sullivan's grace period extension comes with an additional condition. In addition to demanding "millions of dollars" and a "royalty agreement" for his likeness, Sullivan now wants to appear in the game itself." Let me voice a character, give the game more story. ...... Let's make history."

After all, Sullivan says, look how much work he did to promote GTA 6.

"It's been in the news, it's been on the blog! People know me as the Joker of GTA 6, the Joker of Florida."

To be fair, I am interviewing Sullivan here now, so I can't say he is wrong about that, but he does get a little heated about the situation as the video progresses. He says that anyone in Florida would know that the character in the GTA6 trailer was inspired by him. Call me and say, "Stop playing with me, GTA 6, where's my money, and let's make this deal happen!" I'm not going to do lawsuits and lawyers and this and that, but if I have to, I will.

"You guys, within a month, let's voice the character, let's let them voice the character, let's throw bread and let's work, GTA, we need to talk. Take two, where's my money?

I reached out to Sullivan to ask if he had heard anything from Rockstar since he started his campaign. However, it is not hard to imagine that Sullivan has not been contacted by Rockstar. As usual, I think his cause is doomed. The Joker has been through worse pinches than this.
