Lindsay Lohan - drunk is a medical matter

Lohan
Now that Lindsay Lohan’s stay at Malibu’s Promises rehab centre has been confirmed by In Touch Weekly, a publicist for the 20-year-old starlet has issued a statement on the actress' behalf.

 

"Lindsay admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility on Memorial Day. (Monday)

"Because this is a medical matter, it is our hope that the press will appreciate the seriousness of the situation and respect the privacy of Lindsay as well as the other patients receiving treatment at the facility."

 

Lohan admitted herself to rehab just 72 hours after she crashed her car into a Beverly Hills sidewalk.

She was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and police reported they found what they claim to be a “usable amount” of cocaine in Lohan’s car at the scene of the accident.

 

Lohan was driven to a local hospital in another car after her Mercedes SL-65 crashed on Sunset Blvd. at 5:30 Saturday morning.

According to the Associated Press, Lohan was treated for minor bruises and submitted to a blood test.

 

Authorities have yet to reveal Lohan’s blood alcohol level and have only said that the cocaine found in her car was not on her person.

 

Lohan was photographed in the wee hours of Monday morning slumped into the passenger seat of her SUV just outside LA's Roosevelt Hotel.

According to onlookers, Lohan collapsed in a heap just outside the club at 4:30 am and was helped into her car by club security.

 

A close friend of Lohan’s told In Touch that Lindsay is going to rehab willingly after finally admitting to herself she has a problem.

 

Over the weekend, Hollywood stars weighed in on Lohan’s arrest.

Lohan’s just out of jail father blamed his daughter’s partying on her falling in with the wrong crowd.

 

According to various sources, Lohan was scheduled to begin shooting a movie with Shirley MacLaine later this week. A source told the site Lohan will commute between the film set and rehab.

 

But another source says Lohan won’t be allowed to leave Promises for at least 30 days and that Lohan isn’t even confirmed to star in the film.

 

Prior to entering rehab, Lohan issued a statement that she was dropping out of several committed forthcoming film roles to focus on herself.

This chick is trash and so are all of her little friends. She needs to get arrested and be put in jail if it were any other person they would have been arrested for possession and given an MIP.
