Why was Lindsay Lohan shamed and exiled

[Anonymous]

She just had a show last year:

She did some press back then and said she left the US because of the paparazzi.

If she would have got her crap together after her late-2000’s breakdown, Hollywood would have easily welcomed her back. See Drew Barrymore, Rob Lowe, RDJ etc. But since she was so unreliable due to her drug and alcohol abuse, she couldn’t get hired for anything.

She is an addict and there is nothing that can be done unless she decides to fix it.

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.

Totally agree with you, but I almost think the Oprah thing enabled her. I watched that show, and it was painful. She had a 3 pm phone meeting with an agent who was trying to help her and she missed the call. She said sorry I overslept. Like....from the night before.

They had footage of her coming home at 7 am. You don't stay out all night unless you're on drugs. It was so obvious.

I agree she had talent and a lot of good will and people did take pity because her parents are so f-ed up. But damn. You can't save someone. They have to want to get help and stick with the program.

+1
KK is a workaholic who is professionally responsible. I wouldnt say Paris has a good rep - she’s just kind of gone.

Paris's "career" totally changed to djing. She is only recently back in media because she choose to do the youtube video talking about her childhood. She is in no way a huge celebrity.

Lindsay is similar in some ways, and different in other ways, than Tara Reid.

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).

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

I've never read any reliable source claiming this, actually. Or that she is a yacht girl. I can believe she might take money to make appearances at rich sheiks' parties, but that doesn't make her an escort. She really just might like the lifestyle of Dubai, which is basically a giant party scene in the middle of the desert. If she is there, she also has the opportunity to fraternise with super rich people who aren't celebrities, which might be refreshing to her.

Also, I have lived in Dubai. Alcohol is EVERYWHERE, at every social event. It is impossible to avoid, and if a person is an alcoholic, Dubai is not going to allow them to avoid this scenario.

What's so bad about her mom? I know the dad has a bad criminal past.

I mean she might be on drugs but also your life is boring.

Paris Hilton is worth $400 million thanks to her clothing lines, perfumes, resorts (completely separate from her Hilton wealth), handbags, jewelry, and accessories. DJing is basically her MLM hobby.

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...

So the years he wasn't sober just don't matter? I mean he was in a bad way and now he is (as far as we know) a fine upstanding citizen. That can be the story for LiLo too.

Even when he was addict he was apparently a professional on set. Lilo did not have that reputation.

Uhhh you need to watch recent interviews with the mother. Especially about her internet fiance. She is high as a kite all the time. She’s had at least 1 DUI and pimped her children out.

It's not that they don't matter. It's that no one gave him another shot until he was sober again. She needs to get there too.
