She's suing because someone said something untrue about her on the internet?

This is a goldmine for lawyers everywhere.

??

She is suing because they used her intellectual property without her permission and without paying for it.

Ono's lawsuit claims the producers did not ask for permission either because they knew they couldn't get it or because they did not want to pay for the rights. It objects to the way "Imagine" is listed in the film's credits, saying it suggested to members of the news media and others that the song's use had been approved.
Personally I don't buy their "fair use" claim.
