Lindsay Lohan’s Struggles

By: Shannon Gossage

Lohan details her relationship with her estranged father and her relationship with first boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama. She says that she was so emotionally drained from her relationship with her father that she turned to bulimia and drugs. Said Lohan, "I was sick. I had people sit me down and say, ‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself.’" When Lohan went from healthy to sickly thin virtually overnight she said she had lost her "baby fat" and denied rumors of drug abuse and an eating disorder.

Lohan says that Lorne Michaels, producer of Saturday Night Live, staged an intervention after she hosted the show. Lohan said, "I just started bawling. I knew I had a problem, and I couldn’t admit it. I saw that SNL after I did it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms." She said that she got scared when she saw photos of herself. She said, "My sister, she was scared. My brother called me, crying." She said that she used drugs "a little." Lohan quickly adds, "I’ve gotten that out of my system. I don’t want people to think that I’ve done…you know what I mean? It’s kind of a sore subject." Reportedly, her rep tried to get any mention of drug use removed from the article.

She also discusses her relationship with That 70’s Show star Wilmer Valderrama saying that she "smothered" him and "pushed their relationship to the brink." She said she "didn’t have anyone else to go to" with her problems. As for her rumored relationship with actor/rocker Jared Leto she said, "We’re great friends." Lohan was admitted to a Miami hospital Monday after suffering from a "severe asthma attack" and is "resting comfortably." She is set to begin work on her latest film in two weeks. She will star opposite reported beau Leto in Chapter 27, about John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman.
