Lindsay Lohan wins the most bizarre video of the month ... as she accuses parents of trafficking her children and then gets punched in the face.

Lindsay, who was in Moscow, gets out of her car and approaches the family -- 2 boys and their parents. She says they're Syrian refugees who need help.

Then it turns ... LiLo accuses them of trafficking their kids, as she speaks in both English and Arabic. At one point she says, "You're ruining Arabic culture."

After tailing the family for a bit and trying to take the children, you see the mother snap and attack Lindsay, socking her in the face.

The vid ends with a tearful Lindsay saying she was trying to save the boys.
wtf :joker:

Quote:

Lindsay Lohan posted a bizarre video on Instagram Live on Saturday, showing her filming and trying to help what appeared to be a possibly homeless family of four, who she thinks are Syrian refugees.

In the footage, the 32-year-old Mean Girls star insists on helping the woman and two boys by paying for a hotel room for them. The woman was not having it. After the adults and the children begin walking away from the actress, she loudly accuses the man and woman of child trafficking and insists on taking the kids with her. The woman then angrily gets into a brief physical altercation with her.

Lohan has not commented further on the video, which may have been filmed in Moscow, as she had shared a photo of herself there earlier. In the footage, the actress, who has lived abroad over the past few years, occasionally says words in Russian as well as Arabic.

"Hey everyone I just want to show you a family that I met, a Syrian refugee family," Lohan says in the video, approaching a man and woman who are sitting on a sidewalk with two boys, who are huddled under a blanket. "Tell me your story so that I can help you. What do you need? Do you want me to give you a hotel? So I want you to tell America what you need and I will get it for you."

"Yalla habibi [Come on, my dear]," she tells one of the boys. "You want to come with me? Come with me. Come, come. I'll take care. Let me take care of you guys...do you want to stay in a hotel tonight? Do you want to watch movies? Yeah. It'd be so cool, right, to watch a movie on TV or a computer? Let's go. You're gonna be the boss from now on. I'll take you with me and we will see them tomorrow."

Lohan continues to plead with the woman to allow her to take the children to a hotel room for one night. She then offers to take all four people, but quickly changes her mind and says to the woman, "Not your husband. Just you and your kids."

The woman starts talking to the man again, during which Lohan says, "Three seconds, run," and laughs.

"You shouldn't be sleeping on the floor, OK?" she says to one of the kids. "Do you understand that? You shouldn't be sleeping on the floor. You're a good little boy and this is not fair."

"She then reprimands the woman, saying, "You should not have them on the floor. You're a heartbreaking woman, I'm freezing right now, and you should be doing what you do for your children so they'll have [a] better life and if someone's offering them a home and a bed, which is me at this moment, give it to them. No, they will come back to you. I'm a good person but this really, this is not right."

She explains to the adults, "I'm Italian-Irish, I speak Russian and I speak Arabic."

"Come, run. Let's go. They go. This is wrong...let them go, yalla, yalla," she continues. "Come on. Don't. They look tired and cold. I'll buy you a room. I'll buy you a hotel room, I will, I will do it, I'll buy it...come in my car and I'll buy a hotel room. Come, let's go."

After six minutes of pleading, the group then stands up. Lohan asks the boys if they are excited and tells them to put their shoes on, as they are barefoot. The adults start to pack up their few belongings, while the actress tries to persuade them to leave behind an item that is wet and dirty. The group then heads in the opposite direction of her car and Lohan cries out, "Look what's happening. They're trafficking children," adding, "I won't leave until I take you."

"Now I know who you are. Don't f--k with me. Hey kids!" she continues, following the group. "You're ruining Arab culture by doing this. You're taking these children. They want to go. I'm with you boys, don't worry. The whole world is seeing this right now. I will walk forever."

Lohan tries to approach one of the boys and have him give her his hand, which prompts the woman to protest loudly. There is short scuffle, during which Lohan drops her phone. The group leaves her and she starts talking to the camera.

"She just, I'm like in shock, people," Lohan says tearfully, clutching her cheek.

Did she expect to make headlines as a saint for taking a child off his mother and putting him in a hotel.

She's almost childlike in her immaturity. Obviously good intentions but without one iota of common sense or rational thought.

She has always fascinated me (but probably for bad reasons :laugh:) ever since Mean Girls... though I liked her a lot as a child when she was a child actress... I always thought like Marsh said, she is very immature and I think she is an example of how being a child star and hitting fame so early can really jack with a person psychologically...

Knowing her backstory, I think she has always preferred to be the one in control of her surroundings. Maybe because of the abuse she witnessed as a child (her parents) and the power games they played with each other... (edit) Anyway the siblings, they were often a pawn of this, so her thing was always being the one to step in and be the adult, to even be the go-between with her parents... it was very toxic, but she has always tried to play things down like she was the adult in the room, always in control of herself (and the objective of others)... maybe it is a learned persona...

Something she would be loath to admit, but she is very much like her father. He was put in jail for insider trading as he used to work on street. The way he showed love towards his family was giving them lavish things... also, the way he "retracted" was by keeping control of those purse-strings, refusing to pay child support, and very much he is obsessed with how the money he "gives" is spent or "misused".

She very much does need to have this huge eye on her, this image of being a very important person, and he's like that as well... her mother has major issues with denial... but being above judgement, etc, being snobby and elite... that's pretty much her family...

I read about her mother when looking up details on this and their original home is still in foreclosure... she's been hanging onto that mansion for practically forever... a normal person would let it go if it was taking that much to hold onto... maybe down-size... but she's adamant about keeping that expensive house...

I think what complicates things for families with child stars is that the family does become quite adjusted to having a "famous" child... it does mean the power imbalance is tampered with, in most cases, with the temptation of money... so yeah, I think Lindsay kept giving her money to hold onto the house (though that may have stopped)... but both her parents lived through their daughter... and how unhealthy is that, to have that much responsibility at such a young age? It's probably very hard for her to divorce herself completely from her prior persona, since that was all that she was known for... maybe all she felt valued for... so I do feel like in creating these new personas (which she seems to be doing with the Russia/Muslim thing, and her new accent)... it's helping her to distance herself as much from her past, so I kind of "get it"... her saying she is Italian, that's definitely how she (and her family) self-describe themselves... not American, ITALIAN... because don't f* with the Lohan mob...

It is a bit funny though... her accent disappeared as soon as she got punched/knocked down... suddenly Valley girl was back... :laugh:

I don't particularly like her "new" accent, though I guess it is cute (in a Lindsay train-wreck sort of way--again not a good reason :laugh:)... but what bothers me is the tone of voice... it sounds like she is possessed by a pack of cigarettes...

Anyway, she is a maybe a cautionary tale against why we should not adopt self-identification laws... she is so fascinating... I don't think she will ever change, but that's OK to a degree... :love:

user104658 02-10-2018 11:27 AM

On a more serious note; Lindsay Lohan is one of the more extreme examples of how badly a young mind can be damaged by Hollywood / Disney / early celebrity. I think I mentioned her as an example on the relatively recent thread about Demi Lovato's overdose. It's all pretty awful. These people are thrust into celebrity when they're young and showered with positive attention and adoration. They're exploited by faceless coroprate money-generators and all too often their families as well. And then when they (it seems, inevitably) go sideways, the attention stays but it turns toxic. Very few could come through something like that without a significant impact on their overall health. There are a few notable exceptions who have "made it" as adults (Drew Barrymore, Leo DiCaprio) but even they've had hiccups and to be frank while Leo is a stable adult actor he blatantly has some issues when it comes to having healthy relationships etc.

If you want a direct comparison, you only have to look at the oft-used example of Elizabeth Olsen and the Olsen Twins. The Twins got famous young and have had a plethora of mental health issues between them. Their sister didn't find meaningful fame until her early 20's, and looks extremely healthy and happy. Obviously they grew up in the same family, so there being such a stark contrast is probably not a coincidence. She got to have a normal / private childhood and teenage life, they did not.

honestly, the entire Lohan family is quite famous (or infamous to those who dislike them) now

i have no idea who she is, never even heard of mean girls let alone seen it. All I see is a very bizarre video where she is trying to entice children away from their families that she sees randomly on the street. That isn't normal.

Livia 02-10-2018 11:38 AM

I think the drink, drugs and whatever else ails her has ruined what was a promising film career. I really rated her as an actress... it's sad.

this same thing also had happened to Britney Spears, glad that Britney is on her way up again as a lovely singer, and a bit more mature person now

Lindsay was great in Herbie Fully Loaded :worship: with co star Michael Keaton

She was a child actress who has sadly developed significant mental health problems as an adult.

But if we're really talking about things that aren't normal...

...you haven't seen Mean Girls? D:

Next you'll be telling us you haven't seen "Clueless" :worry:

This 100%. Macaulay Culkin is another one. It's quite well known the effect Hollywood can have on the young, as well as exposing them to some of the predators that do prey on the younger actors/actresses... but yet we haven't seen much of a movement to change that.

If the actor/actresses have a great support network, they can probably weather most of that and be stronger willed for it, but in LL's case, she didn't really have that in her parents. They were highly unstable role models & her mother in particular is very airy fairy. With all the materialism and the successes she had then, it's hard to know how much "her people" really knew about her personal life. But, that industry does tend to keep darker dealings like that in the shadow. It's ludicrous how Hollywood will try to preach to others on their sexual/personal business in light of their own greed...

LL is up there with Paris Hilton, KK in terms of how much of their personal life is written/published about them. They pretty much solidified an industry of sites like TMZ, RadarOnline, Perez Hilton, etc. Perez Hilton wouldn't be where he is otherwise. So to some degree, we can blame them for the way celebrity "journalism" has erupted and sort of merged with more serious news/journalism... TMZ in particular normalized it in that they always had some connection to some court, etc. They always seemed to know things before law enforcement reported. So yeah... they were very reliable for breaking stuff, so a lot of regular outfits started to cover/cite them. If you read any celebrity news in the past decade, you maybe had seen articles about her, but i think the prime of that was 2000-2010 era...

Most older folk would probably remember her by her face as a child star if they watched movies with their kids during the 90's. She was famous for The Parent Trap where she played as a pair of twins, as well as Herbie. Both very popular films.

https://media.giphy.com/media/pGYCBIaeLtu36/giphy.gif

She hasn't done much after Mean Girls (her teenage years). Not much that people would remember anyway. Most know her now for when her life spiraled into drugs/alcoholism/partying and dozens of dodgy activities, dozens of arrests/court visits...

I think a big part of it also comes from the fact that not many very successful child actors/stars translate into equally successful adult actors/stars and I suppose that huge comedown to reality is a massive fall for some of them.

I admire Drew Barrymore, she seems to have overcome her issues successfully. Someone like Britney, whilst seemingly levelled out from a lot of what was happening ten years ago seems still just completely broken as a person and I don't think will ever be the same again, which is really tragic. A lot of the time, she seems completely drugged up tbh, just to keep her chilled. She's like a stoner in that sense.

A well worded post that I agree with entirely.
