Lindsay Lohan Was Bullied in High School for Being A Movie Star

Bullying sucks. Obviously, right? When I high school, during my very first leading role in a play, during my very first entrance in the very first performance, the lights went up and some douchebag yelled “yo, is she fat?” Also, I used to get punched and kicked and pinched by some asshole with a rattail in elementary school. It’s a tough life, you know? I’d never make fun of someone opening up about the pain they felt over being bullied.

But you know what I will make fun of? This stuff that Lindsay Lohan tweeted about being bullied in high school for starring in movies:

I was actually bullied @ my public school when i would leave to film. Whenever I came back… girls & boys would call me names.

They would also mock me because of my home situation, when people found out that my father was in jail..

they would yell things, try to trip me & more…I moved to home-schooling instead. In 11th grade. I stuck it out for a while.

This was all tweeted at Katie Couric, by the way, who just did a show on bullying.

This is the same as all the girls who say “no, you don’t understand, it’s really hard to be this pretty!” Obviously, the part about her home situation is a lot more understandable, but she will never, ever get any sympathy for being a movie star. Like, “oh, girlfriend, super sorry that you got to live your dream and become very rich and famous for being a pretty, talented, thin white girl!” That’s just not going to happen.

  • As I said before, cry me a river, Lindsay. She exaggerates everything so much you never know what to believe out of her mouth. I was bullied in school, most people who are a little different get made fun of in school but you tough it out and move on and don’t play the sympathy card with it when you think you need some good publicity. Her timing about being bullied is suspect, where was her empathy for all the young people who were committing suicide over being bullied, why didn’t she speak up publicly about this problem back when this all began to surface if she cares so much?

  • She’s such a piece of sh*t human being. She would say anything to get attention. It disgusts me that she would claim to be a victim of something as horrible as bullying and assault just to get in the media. I wish someone would make a consorted effort to get her out of the media and public eye because I am sick of this piece of trash.

    • All of you really need to stop being so mean to Lindsay. My good friend was in elementary and middle school with Lindsay and people WERE awful to her. And this was back when she was in The Parent Trap. Fuck all you commenters for accusing her of lying. She hasn’t acted like the greatest human being in the world, but you guys have proved that you are all so much worse than her. You were all bullied in high school? Good so was I. And yet I’m not bitching her out saying “oh no she’s lying I went through the real thing!”

      The only tragedy here is that none of you guys killed yourselves in high school, before you started putting stupid shit up on the internet.

  • I believe her. The world is still being a bully to this girl. Yes, she is responsible for her actions but I think people are obsessed with this girl’s life. I know many people that are out of control, they just don’t have a camera following them around all day. I wonder how many drugs you’d be caught doing, drinking…People love to judge but in part they are fascinated by her. Whatching her downfall as though they were in a Greek arena cheering the doomed warrior to die.
