Lindsay Lohan did an interview with UK’s The Sun, and it’s so honest that I don’t even believe that it’s real. We’ve been waiting for years for Lindsay to just admit outright that she at least used to be a cokehead, but she’s never been that specific until now. I’m just going to share with you some of the best quotes and then you tell me if you think this could possibly be a legit interview:
“When my father was going public, that’s when I hit rock bottom. I abused substances too much and it wasn’t the answer to my problems. People need to know that.”
“I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances. Now I’m in a place where I don’t need to use anything and I can feel emotions because I choose to.”
“I learnt from my mistakes and I’m now healthy and happier. I never want to be close to losing everything I worked for and aspired to have my whole life.”
“Mind-altering substances are so dangerous. If I can teach others, especially teens, by sharing my experiences, then that’s what I will continue to do.
“I’ve made some dreadful mistakes but learned from them – that has probably saved my life.”
“I went to rehab three times. The first time I checked myself in because I had taken Ambien. It’s a sleeping aid but it makes you hallucinate.”
“I’d run a bath and fallen asleep on the floor and the bath had overflowed.”
“When I woke up I was so scared, I called my therapist and said, ‘Can I just go somewhere for a month?”
“I was only aware of cocaine because of my dad. I was terrified of it. But I tried it because I was stubborn, stupid, and wanted to see what it was like.”
“It’s not something I ever want to do again. It made me feel like s***. It became uninteresting to me. I’m hyper anyway and I have that kind of personality so I don’t need something like that.”
See what I mean? If this is real, this is a fairly explosive interview. It’s not that anything she’s saying is news to us, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen Linds take ownership like this before. One sure-fire sign that this could have been a real interview conducted by text or email? The use of the non-word “learnt”.
What do you guys think about this?
[UPDATE: OK, OK. So "learnt" is a word. In "British English". I'm so sure that a woman who doesn't have a grasp on common sense or her sobriety and is without a proper education occasionally slips in and out of the King's English. My mistake.]
