Samantha Ronson Sues over Cocaine Allegations
July 16th, 2007 by Evil Beet
DJ Samantha Ronson, known more lately for what her fingers are doing with Lindsay Lohan than what they’re doing with a turntable, has struck back against two gossip blogs with a $20 million libel suit.
Ronson, herself a budding celebrity deejay, is striking back at suggestions that cocaine found in Lohan’s car after an infamous fender-bender was actually hers.
Named as defendants were Jill Ishkanian, who runs the Sunset Photo and News Agency, and Mario Lavandeira, who blogs as Perez Hilton.
In June, Hilton repeated the cocaine claim that first appeared on CelebrityBabylon.com, a Web site operated by Sunset Photo.
That site claimed Ronson was “making a tidy profit on the side, shilling Lohan, 20, out to photographers eager to get her photo looking passed out and wasted.”
It continued: “If that wasn’t shocking enough, sources say that it was Ronson who was holding the cocaine later found in Lindsay’s car.”
First of all, everyone ran that story. Samantha’s suing Sunset Photo because, for lack of a better phrase, they started it, and because flat-out accusing someone of doing cocaine is an easy way to wind up on the losing end of a libel suit. (And, to clarify, every time the word “cocaine” is used on this blog, you should be aware that it’s our code word for “popsicle.” Inside joke. We know no one in Hollywood would ever use illegal narcotics. Winners don’t do drugs. But they do like popsicles.) She’s suing Perez to get back at him for all the mean shit he runs about Lindsay, because Lord knows after he settles this suit with X17 et al, he’s not going to have a cent to pay her with. She’s just trying to make his life miserable. Which is, you know, fine with me.

So, not only does Lindsay’s sticky-gurl sell her out to the tabloids to get more “posicles”, she has the “balls” to sue somebody? Wow. That’s some good ass blow. I’ll have what she’s having.

Perez is a vile pig, visually and morally. I hope SR does cost him a fortune in legal fees, it’s not like he isn’t a thief and no talent hack that deserves to go down *and not in a fun way*. As for SR selling out Lohan, who really knows, but Sunset better have cancelled checks to prove it, or they are done.
Maybe Perez can take Rosie’s place on the View, he’s got more estrogen *in a mutant way* than Rosie evah had.

I have been continually horrified by the cruel and disgusting things people write about Samantha Ronson. Just because the average American had never heard of her before the Memorial Day debacle with Lindsay, doesn’t mean she is some newcomer who is using Lindsay for PR. I would be furious if some website or piece of Sh*t blogger like P.H. published a story that I was selling out my friends and leaving cocaine their car (and, by the way, wasn’t that car back at Lindsay’s for some period of time before the police would have searched it? Plenty of opportunity for someone to either plant something or for someone to clean it out). I hope she wins.

I have only one issue with Ronson. She needs to get a better colorist.
