Just know that I feel gross even covering Lindsay Lohan’s cracked-out take on anything, but I feel the need to write this up because LL was trending on Twitter overnight, and obviously, people want to yell at her. Much like Donna Karan, Lindsay Lohan has some very bad “takes” on Harvey Weinstein. Lindsay has been used and abused by powerful and/or wealthy men for years, but let’s be real: she’s also used and abused many people over the years too. I have no idea if Harvey Weinstein ever did anything to Lindsay, but I do know that they sort of know each other, in that he’s produced some of her films, they’ve been at the same events, they’re in photos together, and his “type” seemed pretty specific, and Lindsay fit the victim-profile at one point. Anyway, Lindsay chimed in on the Weinstein drama from her new home – ??? – in Dubai.
On a day filled with explosive news about Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced and troubled film mogul has found an ally in Lindsay Lohan. The actress attempted to throw water on the fiery Weinstein story by posting a series of clips on Instagram’s Stories feature. After introducing herself on her own account with, “Hi, this is Lindsay Lohan” followed by a wave to the camera, the 31-year-old announces that she is “home” in Dubai. Then came a plea to get everyone to stop.
“I feel very bad for Harvey Weinstein right now. I don’t think it’s right what’s going on,” Lohan said. “I think Georgina [Chapman] needs to take a stand and be there for her husband.”
The latter statement came in a second clip added to the same story, this one with an angel emoji inserted under the name “Harvey.” In her clip, Lohan said that she was not among those hurt by Weinstein. “He’s never harmed me or did anything to me. We’ve done several movies together. I think everyone needs to stop; I think it’s wrong. So stand up,” she said, before signing off.
I’m including the video below (which Lindsay already deleted). I mean… she seems high or f–ked up in the video. She’s obviously wrong, she’s obviously a very sad woman, she’s obviously got some terrible thoughts on a lot of different issues. I’m angrier at people like Donna Karan, who obviously know what they’re doing and saying and are relatively sober. Lindsay is just a mess, from start to finish. Maybe it would be best just to ignore her.

Crack is a helluva drug eh Linds?
She looks like Rose McGowan. She is too young to use so much botox.
Rose McGowan injured her face in a car accident I thought? But yeah, she needs to lay off the pills and Botox/fillers. She has serious cat face.
She totally f*cked that pig. Probably under duress and rationalized over time.
Ugh. I knew that someone in addition to Donna would do this. Lindsay is a sad person, but she’s still responsible for her behavior. The best response is probably to ignore her, though.
Yeah, being a sad, self destructive mess is one thing. But it doesn’t cover for her being a PoS human being towards women who were abused. Was she not saying that her ex abused her? How would she feel if someone looked at her and told her it wasn’t right and that she should just stop.
does she realize that he won’t be able to give her work now, right, why do this stupid thing trying to kiss his ass, how about showing empathy for those who have been affected, but oh he didn’t touch her so it must be okay, stuff everyone else
He may very well come back and be able to give her work, Porsha. He also still has plenty of money. Not that he’s the sort to be loyal to a down and out starlet who defends him, but Lindsay isn’t the most reasonable person and addiction never made anyone better at that, but I suspect the fuzzy logic is something along those lines.
Lindsay very likely was lying about her Russian ex’s abuse, which is why she finds it so easy to assume other women are lying. I do think she has been abused by her customers, but that seems to be what she has been selling. She’s a sad case in so many ways. But there is a difference between a customer and a boyfriend or girlfriend who actual cohabits with you and even Lindsay knows that. She only goes after non-customers.
She definitely has a pattern of lying about her exes, male or female. She shifts her stories to get what she wants and should never be considered a reliable source about anything.
Have you seen the email he sent to high powered execs begging them to defend him?
I’d imagine there was another sent to a bunch of celebs asking for the same thing, most likely with hints that once he was “vindicated” he’d remember who was there for him.
Not surprisingly that Lindsay was the only idiot to do so.
Touché Handwoven. Very good point. I bet you he did and Lindsay is dying for someone in the US to give her a comeback career. Can’t cure crazy though!
yeah, but would he have sent one to Lindsey? isn’t that scrapping the bottom of the barrel?
Maybe he actually didn’t go after her? Yes, she could be hoping for some personal benefit from defending him. But she might actually have not had the experience that others have had. Or else she’s blocked it out in the blur of her sad life.
I’ve had another woman contradict my reports of harassment by guys on the street when I’m walking alone – something she never does, she always has a man or a child with her and is usually in a car anyway (in this town, being inside a car is also very protective, they go after pedestrians exclusively). So since it never happened to her, she didn’t believe me. Why I would even think to lie about that is not something that occurred to her or her husband (whose skepticism was even more baffling since we were both physicists and I was an experimentalist and he was involved in hiring me, so I assume he thought I was a reasonably accurate observer for anything else). She was too focused on supporting her husband’s skepticism (since of course it never happened when he was walking with a woman and therefore didn’t exist: my brother was the same way until someone he was dating told him exactly the same stuff I had).
I love the way that, as usual, she only cares about herself. “He didn’t do anything TO ME…He never hurt ME…”Therefore, all of these victims of his should just shut up, and stop “hurting him?” Wow, a lot of empathy, in this one…and truly pathological self absorption. Is it possible she think he’ll regain his former power and reward her by standing up for him, w some great movie role? Wow, she’s so calculating and disgusting. Can’t say I feel too sorry for her, as lost as she is. She had so many more chances than most of us will ever be given in one lifetime—and she squandered them all. I can’t stand her.
Disgusting. She’s hedging her bets which proves that she’s used to seeing scum lime Weinstein bounce back and thrive after abusing women. She doesn’t get it – he’s finished.
Is it possible that Lindsay has been exploited and abused for so much of her life that she genuinely doesn’t see anything wrong here? It’s not an excuse at all, but I still feel a bit sick when I think of how she was either hurt, exploited, or assaulted by every adult in her life. There was no DCFS to protect a kid from powerful Hollywood perverts.
She’s such an opportunist. Like she knows this will get her some play-so she makes her usual whacked out comments. Of course we should all just ignore her. She wants to be relevant and isn’t. I’m not even going to bother commenting on what she said.
She thinks he’ll bounce back (which he may, let’s face it, just look at Polanski and Woody Allen) and give her an Oscar role as a thank you for staying by his side. Or the role of wife, she would open her own fashon line, Crackhesa.
Honestly, that was my first thought too. She just wants on his good side just in case. I have a hard time. It’s obvious she was abused. Maybe best to ignore her and not dog pile as she’s obviously been abused too.
@Char…That was my first thought too. I think she probably hopes that she will be the next Mrs HW since I cannot imagine that anyone else other than her nasty self will have him once he come out of “treatment”. I think her making sure to namecheck his wife is some of play to let him know that if she was his Mrs, SHE would be loyal. She’s trying to get on his good side in hope of some pay off later. Horrible woman.
Polansky and Allen have fans though, people who think they’re geniuses and are willing to pay to see their work.
I’m not sure HW cultivated that image.
You are absolutely right about the opportunistic part of Lohan. I think that Harvey knows he is done in America, but can tap into the Asian and European markets and that is why she is trying to get into his good graces. I totally believe that Weinstein is going to be producing a ton of international films starting in the next year.
Well, he is in Europe for rehab.
She’s just hoping he takes notice of her defending him and gives her her career back. Not going to happen, girl.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is just sad & gross. She is a pathetic, complicit ex-starlet who is looking for another train to jump on to. I don’t know if she’s posting this for Harvey or some other guy to see that she is a ride or die bitch. I gotta go puke & shower.
She is growing up to be a spitting image of her father.
She gives it up voluntarily for the vanity and pleasures of life so she can hardly tell the difference between assault in exchange for a career and voluntarily giving it up in exchange for a high life. Morocco yesterday, Monaco today, Dubai tomorrow with no known source of income? Her career has nothing to do with acting. She knows what she does in exchange for cash and crack.
Her accent in this is insane
It really is! What is she doing?!
Dear Lord someone help this woman child, an what happened to her Greek accent?
She is hoping HARD that if (never) he recovers from this, she can be his go to for a comeback.
Why does she sound…..foreign? Like English is not her first language but she’s learned it well.
Anyway, maybe she’s 1-confused? Her statement/video come across as if someone requested (or she THINKS some has requested) her to vouch for HW.
2-she still hasn’t gotten caught up on the news regarding Harvey Weinstein? Like maybe she’s only hearing about all things Harvey up until say, last Tuesday?
3-maybe she’s confusing Harvey and Herbie? Didn’t she do a movie with a Herbie in it?🤔
Quite a few people have trouble maintaining their original accent and intonation when surrounded by other people who speak very differently. I would not be surprised by Lindsay having that problem. It is probably not really deliberate.
I ran into a woman from Indiana (heart of the Midwest) who had married a guy from Africa (maybe Kenya?) and had been living there for many years. She had completely lost her Hoosier accent and had that British-type accent and African intonation you hear from many Africans from certain countries who are fluent in English and have been educated in English.
A friend who sometimes teaches Russian has said native-born Russians in the US tend to lose their native accent in their native language Russian within a few years, even when teaching it. It starts becoming Americanized. The intonation tends to be the first to go, which makes their Russian sound foreign.
I know that interpreters and teachers try to have long visits to the country of origin/native speakers at least every one or two years to avoid such deterioration. Things might be easier now that we have videos and radio stations on the net.
True. I moved within the country and basically lost the accent I had for the first 19 years of my life.
By the way, I have heard absolutely no rumors about Herbie the sentient car ever harassing anybody based on gender or automotive design. On the contrary, everybody who has worked with him says he is quite refreshingly wonderful and kind. He even put up with Lindsay without blowing a gasket.
🤣 Needed the laugh JWoolman, thank you!
does she think standing up for him is gonna help her career? what career? i think she thinks that harvey will remember her as one of the only person, other than donna karen, who publicly stood up for him and thus will help her when he’s back in power again. sorry linds, not gonna happen.
also, wtf is up with her accent?
I’m sorry..I couldn’t even take in what she was saying (total bs) because of that ACCENT! Wtf is that?! She’s from New York. Girl stop!
Oh and she’s not that stupid. She’s hoping that once he’s accepted back into the Hollywood fold, cause let’s be honest, he might…he’ll remember that she defended him and hook her up with a movie that will revive her career.
I definitely think Harvey pass her around at a young age and she is hoping for a comeback is Harvey survives this.
“I have no idea if Harvey Weinstein ever did anything to Lindsay, but I do know that they sort of know each other, in that he’s produced some of her films, they’ve been at the same events, they’re in photos together, and his “type” seemed pretty specific, and Lindsay fit the victim-profile at one point.”
Ugh, can we all (bloggers and commenters) please not turn the revelations about Weinstein’s disgusting, criminal behavior into an opportunity to speculate about which women he may have abused? There has already been way, way too much of this shit in the past few days.
If someone who was a victim of Weinstein (or anyone like him) doesn’t want that to be public knowledge, we should respect that. It’s not anyone else’s place to out/speculate about another person’s sexual assault. And if someone wasn’t a victim, just read that Gretchen Mol story to see how rumors about it can still ruin their career and inflict serious emotional harm.
It doesn’t matter if Lohan or any other specific woman was or wasn’t a victim of Weinstein. We know what he was doing. We don’t need to know all the names of the women he did it to. This story is too serious and too damaging to become fodder for more gossip about women.
I think it’s best to just ignore her. She’s obviously a very damaged person, and anything she says comes from a a place none of us (I hope) understands. So bless her heart, and let’s quietly move on.
Plus, at this point it is just too easy to mock her. Ignoring her is probably best for her although she won’t see it that way. I wonder how much longer she is going to last and what her end game is? I don’t see happy wife/mommy in her future, I wonder if she does? Is she deluded enough to think she still has a future on the big screen?
Wow, she’s SO WRONG! not surprising. Cynically, I think she’s hoping she can land something for her loyalty if he bounces back. But why does she sound like she either is wearing dentures that don’t fit properly or she’s not wearing her dentures? Her ssss sound funny.
Rose McGowans twitter was interesting last pm. She also asked that people cut LL some slack stating something to effect of “child star turned sexy “ will seriously mess your mind up. Yeah, that and drugs.
But the point is she is more to be pitied than anything and looking at her parents it’s hard to deny.
Really, Strawberry Snortcake? Really?
Another seriously messed-up victim of the H/wood machine. Best ignored, sadly.
Low hanging fruit
I’m trying to figure out how she can call Dubai home. Because to live there I believe you have to have a job that can vet you to the government.
Bet Hurricane Harvey just bought that new home in Dubai.
Off topic BUT I laughed at how she introduced herself on the video…. as if no one watching her stories knew who she was. What is she on?!
LL, your video reeks of desperation and disfunction. His wife’s choices are none of your business. It’s disgusting that you feel the need to comment in this way which implies criticism towards the women that went through this and finally spoke up. Feel free to disappear again…
He probably paid her to say something on his behalf or she did it in hopes he would. And the fake accent…come on…
Every time I see her I feel sad. She had so much promise and talent. Now she’s just tragic.
Her mouth tho…so distracting. She and Harvey are both a**holes. I’m sure she’s hoping for a future role, favor, or cash for sticking up for him. She’s so transparent.. I do feel bad for her that she can’t conquer her demons and addiction.
Whatever she’s doing to her face needs to stop, she looks 40.
