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:
