Lindsay Lohan fights drugs and bulimia

January 4th, 2006 // 67 Comments

lohan-vanity-fair.jpgIn a move so shocking that I was shocked until I died from getting shocked to death, Lindsay Lohan has admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair that she dabbled with drugs and bulemia.

“I knew I had a problem and I couldn’t admit it,” Lohan, the star of movies such as “Mean Girls” and “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,” told Vanity Fair magazine.

“I was making myself sick. I was sick and I had people sit me down and say ‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself,”‘ she said in the magazine’s latest issue, which hit newsstands on Wednesday.

Lohan said she used drugs “a little” but quickly tried to retract the admission and denied that she had taken cocaine. “I don’t want people to think that I’ve done … you know what I mean? It’s kind of a sore subject,” she said.

Lohan’s publicist called Vanity Fair the day after the interview to try to get the confession omitted from the article, the New York Post reported.

In an apparent U-turn from interviews last year, the actress admitted fighting the eating disorder bulimia, which made her lose weight at an alarming rate.

It was when she saw footage of herself on a “Saturday Night Live” television appearance looking skeletal that Lohan became aware of how ill she really was.

“I saw that ‘SNL’ after I did it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms,” she said.

Her physical condition led to a two-week hospitalization with a swollen liver and kidney infection last year.

Lohan was admitted to hospital on Monday after experiencing breathing difficulties in her hotel room in Miami, spokeswoman Leslie Sloane told Reuters.

It’s always infuriating when a celebrity admits to something the entire world has already known for years. Why won’t these lying bastards save us some trouble and admit to it straight off the bat. It would be like the sun coming out in a press release tomorrow and telling everybody it was big and hot and more than a two hour car drive away.

    Sorry, gang. I don’t believe she’s over anything. Case in point: she just went to the hospital again (asthma, my ass). The whole point of public confession is to get the heat off. If any of you are into Celebrity Dead Pool, she’s a contender. The only question is, who’s going down first – her, Paris, Nicole, or Tara. Stay tuned.

    I agree with Synthwhore. No one understands she is the biggest fucking sham to ever hit Hollywood. My dog’s balloon knot is more attractive than her and can probably act better too.

    sammygirl: Thanks forposting that. I guess us LA girls are the only ones who understand.

    Puffy: Although I do agree that the majority of people in LA (especially hollywood) are like that…not ALL of them are. You have to have the right personality to live there…that is true. But I think that the “Right Personality” is the type of person that can put up with a lot of bullshit. If you have thick skin and an average amount of willpower then you can manage without turning into all that superficial BS. For example..ME…I live in west hollywood and I am straight edge. Also…Sammygirl…lives in LA and is normal…

    okay guys, thats fair enough , i agree with you. and its not just LA or Hollywood, its pretty much everywhere, its just that what “hollywood and la” stand for, isn’t all that great, nowadays.

    I mean ask anyone, and when you mention “Hollywood,” niceness, hapiness, normalness, godliness, arent the first words that jump off your tongue.

    ITs more like, ewwwww, whatever, yuck, gross, or OMG yeah! the most phat shit EVERRR.

    Not to diss on LA, but its just not known for being a nice place.

  5. Well.. when you think about it which Lindsay Lohan do you want? The super fat nasty whore or the sick skinny bulimia bitch? at least if you smoke weed with the bulimia Lindsay she won’t eat up all your munchies.. I’d pee in her butt..

    what the hell lindsay lohan is far better than at acting than hillary duff, when i watch hillary act i start to grit my teeth and twitch she’s so bad. they both have e.d’s now.

  9. If this was fark, it’d be tagged OBVIOUS.

    Poor thing…as if we the public were blind to her spider like arms and chicken thin neck. Let’s not sing another sad song for a white girl who does movies like “Herbie.” Lindsay needs to take a look at Courtney Love and remember what Hollywood is really all about: sex, drugs, rock & roll and plenty of excess. Party on LL – keep it real!

    Hey not all people feel the same. I’m not a very defensive person to people I can tolerate but when idiots like that use a globally offensive word in that way, I take offense to it, and I’m likely to act on that. I don’t care if you’re gay and YOU didn’t take offense to it, just because you don’t, doesn’t mean I won’t. I also don’t appreciate the word “fag” being used that way, but you probably don’t even know it’s origins anyway.

    I have as much of a right to act on someone using that word like that an as African-American person does when someone uses the word “nigger” like that, as much as a Korean person does when someone uses the word “gook” like that, and just as much as any other group that is judged by globally offensive words.

    ‘It’s always infuriating when a celebrity admits to something the entire world has already known for years. Why won’t these lying bastards save us some trouble and admit to it straight off the bat.’

    PRAISE JEBUS!!!
    I am not the only sane one in this insane reality! It’s like the media gets defensive on behalf of these chicks; i.e. “Despite fitting all clinical signs of severe malnutrition (and her cadaverous new look in our accompanying photo spread), soandso insists she has never felt healthier, and denies she has an eating disorder and/or coke/meth habit. That’s all we need to hear to believe she’s perfectly fine!”

    Cut to a year down the track, and without fail u read another article where aforementioned female celeb says “Yeah, actually, we’d have these contests to see who could do a line off the toilet seat then lift it to download what we’d just had for main course without spilling the coke or your filet mignon.”

  13. blahblahblah

    yes, denial is a big part of an eating disorder. which is why when she said it the first time, she really believed it..she realized that she had a problem. but then-oh!- the next day, she didn’t have an eating disoder. ugh. duh. we all KNOW she does.

    Leif Garrett admitted it recently. And he didn’t gloss it over with “prescription” pills, or “stress” he came out and said he used Junk, man. Leif is my hero. Way to be honest man. Woo-hoo!!!

  15. LaydeeBug

    Eating disorder, my big fat Dominican ass. Oh, And blackblackheart, what the fuck are you talking about? Where did that thread come from? Jeeezuuus! You’re in the wrong site, bruh!

  16. LaydeeBug
