Lindsay Lohan Talks to Vanity Fair About Personal Struggles

Posted by Drug Free in Drug Addiction, Drug Rehabilitation on September 3rd, 2010

A few days after her recent sentence was handed down, actress Lindsay Lohan gave an interview to Vanity Fair and talked about, among other things, alcohol and drugs. A feature on USA Today showed excerpts of the interview with the magazine, which is included in an issue that has Lindsay on the cover, due to hit newsstands on September 7.

She also denied being an alcoholic, or abusing prescription drugs – something that her dad Michael Lohan had hinted at, to say the least, quite a few times. She told Vanity Fair: “If I were the alcoholic everyone says I am, then putting a [scram] bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room…”

Lindsay also said that while she does admit to “dabbling in certain things and trying things ’cause I was young and curious and thought it was like, O.K., ’cause other people were doing it and other people put it in front of me,” she denies ever abusing prescription drugs, nor having the desire to do so.

The interview inevitably included questions about her father Michael, and Lindsay reacted to the fact that he gave an interview immediately after attending her probation hearing.

There is one thing that Lindsay is confident about, however: “I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress.”

Dina Lohan: Lindsay’s Life Was Blown Out of Proportion

Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse, Drug Addiction, Drug Rehabilitation on August 15th, 2010

Dina Lohan, mom of troubled young star Lindsay Lohan, made a two-part appearance on the Today show with Matt Lauer, talking mostly about the recent legal troubles that her daughter had to face. A feature on Us Magazine shared details from Dina Lohan’s interviews.

Lindsay LohanDina Lohan talked about how she thought the judge “played hardball” with her daughter, maintaining that Lindsay was not in violation of her probation: “she was in for missing a couple of classes that she made up, and she was working at the time. The judge went overboard and put her in serious lockdown for two weeks.” She then pointed out that the judge – referring to Judge Marsha Revel – has been recused from the case, saying specifically that she was “fired”.

Matt Lauer asked Dina whether leaving rehab early was something that was in Lindsay’s best interest, given the number of times that she has been in rehab unsuccessfully. There was a bit of confusion regarding the number of times that Lindsay has stayed in rehab, with Dina insisting that she has only been to rehab twice, and Matt enumerating the following rehab stays: Wonderland in 2007, Promises in 2007 and Cirque Lodge in 2007, which makes her current stay at the UCLA Medical Center as her fourth stint in rehab.

As to whether getting out of rehab early will be good for Lindsay, Dina gave a roundabout answer that we are personally interpreting as saying that it is ok for her to cut her rehab stay short because she does not have a really serious problem, because, quoting Dina, “her [Lindsay’s] life is very magnified… it’s blown out of proportion.”
