Lindsay Lohan Declares Innocence, Says Drugs Weren't Hers
Wednesday, July 25, 2007

SANTA MONICA, Calif. Lindsay Lohan says she's innocent.

The 21-year-old actress was arrested and released on bail for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence and with a suspended license, and felony cocaine possession, early Tuesday in Santa Monica, less than two weeks after completing her second trip to rehab.

"I am innocent ... did not do drugs they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin's mom I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy," Lohan wrote in an e-mail to "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush, the show reported on its Web site Tuesday night.

Police found cocaine in one of Lohan's pockets during a pre-booking search, Sgt. Shane Talbot said. Police initially said Lohan was also being booked for investigation of transporting a narcotic but later said she was not.

Police received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant saying that Lohan was chasing her in an SUV, said Lt. Alex Padilla. The assistant had quit hours before, he said.

Authorities found Lohan and the woman in a "heated debate" in the parking lot of Santa Monica's Civic Auditorium.
Lohan's arrest comes as she still faces DUI allegations connected to a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash in Beverly Hills. The actress completed more than six weeks in rehab less than two weeks ago, and had checked into a recovery clinic in January.

She had worn an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet since her July 13 release from rehab and was tested daily to support her sobriety, her attorney, Blair Berk, said. She said Lohan had relapsed and was receiving medical care at an undisclosed location. Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, had no comment.

Lohan joins a long list of young actors who have battled problems with drugs, alcohol, or both. They include River Phoenix, Drew Barrymore, Corey Feldman, Anissa Jones, Danny Bonaduce and Macaulay Culkin.

Phoenix, who starred in "Stand By Me" as a teen, died outside a Hollywood nightclub in 1993 from a lethal combination of cocaine and heroin. He was 23. Feldman, his "Stand By Me" co-star, also battled addiction and was arrested for heroin possession when he was 19.

Jones, who played Buffy on TV's "Family Affair," was just 18 when she died of a drug overdose in 1976. Bonaduce found fame at 10 as a star of "The Partridge Family," only to struggle with addiction and homelessness as a teenager. Culkin, best known for his starring turn in the kid-friendly "Home Alone" films, was busted in his early 20s for possession of pot and Xanax.

Barrymore, 32, has fared best. After going to rehab for drugs and alcohol at 13, she is a sought-after actress and filmmaker with her own production company, Flower Films.

Dr. David Deitch, an addiction specialist for more than 40 years and director of Phoenix House, a national nonprofit provider of substance-abuse treatments, said the glitter and glamor of Hollywood could be partly to blame.

"That life is all about the excitement, drama and peak performance followed by a letdown that gets medicated with entertainment and medication," he said.

Deitch said the average age at which children start using drugs has dropped every decade since the 1960s, and that today's youngsters start experimenting with drugs about age 12.

"The earlier the age of onset of chronic drug-taking, the greater the prognosis is for long-term problems," he said.

The actress was chastised last summer for repeatedly arriving late to the set of "Georgia Rule," and her latest legal troubles may cost her movie roles. She was set to start shooting "Poor Things," a comedy featuring Shirley MacLaine, when she entered rehab in May. The film's producers, who previously had supported Lohan, would not say Tuesday whether she would be part of the production.

Lohan is still set to appear in the film "Dare to Love Me," which is to begin shooting this summer, said Michael Sands, a consultant for production company Bowline Entertainment.

"The producers have compassion and kindness for her, so for now she's insured and still with the movie," he said. "She hasn't been convicted of any crimes."

All Hollywood productions need insurance, and troublesome or troubled actors can often stand in the way of that requirement.

"I don't see how she's employable for the next 18 months," said longtime publicist Michael Levine, who does not represent Lohan. "Who's going to insure her?"

Lohan's latest film, "I Know Who Killed Me," is set to open Friday.

What is the problem? Can she not just stay home? Or hire a driver? This just makes no sense to me at all. She's facing jail time. If I had just completed rehab TWICE, I would not show my face for months.

I have no sympathy. All these silly idiots have to do is hire a limo for God's sake! Frankly, I hope she goes to jail. And takes Britney with her.

I wrote about this on my blog actually

Lindsay claims that the coke was not hers and she's innocent... Okay she made the decision to DRINK; she made the decision to go to the bars; she made the decision to hold "whoevers" cocaine; she made the decision to get behind a wheel in drive, despite her DUI two months prior. Amber gets all these celebrity magazines and I've been reading them and in one article it mentioned that she wore the anklet thing to prove shes seirous about changing, yet her people say she wont stop going to bars because shes 21 and should be allowed to have fun. If you're trying to prove to the world you're not a 21 year old alcohol drug abuser, do you really thinking going to clubs and bars is the way to do that? I've lost all my respect for her.

As much as I dont like Paris, she has at least, so far, maintained her changed ways by not acting like an idiot (that we know of) and has said she wants to change because she had a problem and has cut the negative influences in her life out.

Adding on... Two months ago Amber and Dan had their 2nd wedding in Toronto and had the reception thing at a place that served alcohol. They told everyone that if there was no Designated Driver for each car then they were to call a cab and leave the car there over night. Dan's parents (I think) bought cab vouchures so that nobody would get behind a wheel. They also said they would pay for them to take a cab in the morning to pick up there car. Dan's sister was killed last year from a drunk driver so they were very adamat that nobody drinks and drives. I dont get how these celebrities don't think like that. I mean so many people are killed yearly from Drunk Drivers. Do theyr eally want to nbe known as the celebrity that killed somone whille DUI?

I disagree, Paris will likely distance herself far from Lohan. The main difference between them is that Paris has a strong family supporting and directing her. They've let her run wild for a bit, but they've clearly stepped in now, and she's falling into line.

Lindsay has a mother who appears to be an alcoholic flake, and a father who's done jail time for threating the life of both of them. Lindsay's mom has a reality show coming out where it's surrounding her attempts to make her current pre-teen children (a boy and a girl) the next big cash cows for her, now that Lindsay has fired her. Lindsay has no support network to fall back on, her family is a bigger mess than she is.
