Except there wasn't any promotion. The only thing close would be Sams tweet, but this was not an official statement and could easily be explained to refer to the concept of voice assistants in general. The fact that SJ was contacted twice was actually publicized by SJ and not OpenAI.
It wasn't? None of the people I know thought it was Scarlett Johansson.
When Altman tweeted "her" I just thought: "wow, these voices sound really realistic, kinda like the movie"
Is this lawsuit worthy?

How is a tweet from the CEO not an official statement?
it's the CEO's personal statement.
but yes, even a personal statement may have some value in a case, but you ignored the second part of the GP's criticism.
you're reaching that the tweet of the poster of "Her" meant "hey guys, this is voiced by SJ"
it simply could mean that "hey guys, it sounds as good as the voice assistant from Her"
it is voice assistant software after all...
mind reading a tweet does not make a good case, especially with the timeline noted in TFA.

Yeah, that's promotion.

Yes of course it was. That's what being a CEO fricking means.
