GTA 6 Lucia model appears on Instagram with followers asking for free copies
As Grand Theft Auto VI prepared to introduce two brand-new protagonists into its fray, many came forward claiming they’d play key roles themselves.
At the start of December, Grand Theft Auto VI’s debut trailer hit and nearly broke the internet. Although reports had hinted at two new characters being included in GTA VI, fans only finally got to witness these in this trailer release.
Jason and Lucia will play key protagonist roles, playing off of Bonnie and Clyde-like relationships within Rockstar games. Although Rockstar hasn’t announced who will fill these coveted roles just yet, some individuals are already taking credit.
On 17 December, one Twitter account purporting to represent GTA VI Lucia posted a video in their account purporting that Lucia Echeverria is her. Onlookers recognized her immediately as Lucia as they asked store employees for free copies of her game; captioning of video read: “Won’t say much but can’t wait until more can be said soon – wont say much but can’t wait t say more soon & include hashtags from GTA VI”.
Many originally assumed Echeverria to be Lucia’s actress due to their appearance. Unfortunately, due to Rockstar Games having strict nondisclosure agreements for its actors revealing themselves prematurely. Echeverria would later turn out to be Instagram model jaelanijade instead.
Since the GTA VI trailer premiered, real people have taken steps to claim credit. On 10 December, Florida Joker issued an ultimatum against Rockstar after alleging they stole his likeness without consent.
