What the hell is a yacht girl!? |

Euphemism for escort. |

She was a liar and drug addict who showed up on set incapable of reading lines and often times just blowing off her filming obligations entirely.
She had multiple chances. Say what you will about Kim Kardashian but she and her sisters work hard and commit to their projects. |

| Lindsey Lohan was an actress who had to show up on set and be insured in order to make films. Kim K and Paris are simply celebrities/media figures with reality programs. And LiLo preceded the Instagram era. |

She was given chance after chance after chance after chance. The real question is why the hell was she given so many? I was flabbergasted when Oprah decided to put her up in a multi million dollar apartment and fund a reality show for her + all kinds of support (counseling, life coach, etc.). She STILL f-ed it up.
She is an addict and there is nothing that can be done unless she decides to fix it. |

| She really was so talented. I hope she gets to work again - gets her life together. I'd like to see what she'd do, with that opportunity! |

I think she was given so many chances because she had real talent when she was younger (Parent Trap, Mean Girls). People saw that, and they also saw how awful her family was, and they felt bad for her. It can't have been easy for her growing up the way she did. It wasn't just Oprah, also Tina Fey, and other people. I have a bit of a soft spot for her because I remember the sweet kid from Parent Trap. But at some point, despite your terrible childhood, you have to grow up and decide to help yourself. She never did. It's really too bad. |

| I suspect that she can't keep her sobriety in check unless she lives in a place where socializing doesn't routinely include alcohol. You can't even go out for dinner in the US, UK, or France (her previous haunts) without being around alcohol. In the Middle East, alcohol is much less visible so it's easier for an alcoholic to avoid because there are fewer triggers. I think she moved there, got bankrolled by royalty and rich sheikhs, and established a life there. I think she still drinks but I suspect her movement throughout the ME is directly linked to her sobriety status (Dubai etc when she's drinking, more conservative places when she's trying to recover). |

If RObert Downey Jr could pull it together, there is hope for LiLo |

From what is written about her in the media, she is still an addict and not in recovery. RDJ has been sober for years. Lindsay has been escorting in Dubai instead of focusing on her career and sobriety... |

She’s not being bankrolled by them for nothing. She is a working as an escort. |

| Kim K and Paris never were nor wanted to be serious actresses. Lindsay was a good actress and wanted to maintain that level of prestige fame. She cannot maintain that when she is acting nuts and high all the time. |

Emma Stone replaced her. Plus she’s 35 (and looks it) - too old for ingenue roles and too young to play someone’s mom. She’s done. |

I don't know. If she got sober and responsible I think there would be a lot of interest in seeing her play adult roles. She'd bring a gravitas, too, since we'd all know her personal struggles. Not saying it's going to happen. But would be great if it did. |
