14 DAY TRIAL // It was supposed to be one of the biggest, most mediated events in showbiz but, it seems, Lindsay Lohan was not at all warming up to the idea of having an entire world do the “walk of shame” as she was being released from Lynwood. The star was just now sprung free from prison, ushered into a van and taken to the UCLA Medical Center, where she’s to remain 3 months as per court orders, E! Online informs.
Just the other day, rumors were saying that Lindsay had already gotten together an entire team of stylists to have at hand for her release, to make sure she looked her best for the cameras. At the same time, fans and friends rallied outside Lynwood to show their support for the troubled star – and perhaps have a look at her too before being whisked away to rehab. In what is perhaps Lindsay’s most discrete act in a long time, the actress has been let go from prison and is now already in rehab – and no one even knew it.
“Lohan (and her hair extensions) managed to make it through a sojourn at Lynwood’s Century Regional Detention Facility, serving 14 days of a 90-day sentence for a probation violation in a DUI case. Lohan was sprung at 1:35 a.m. Monday, although she managed to elude dozens of camera crews outside. Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told the assembled masses that Lohan was ushered to rehab in an unmarked van. Not that she had time for teary reunions or fab photo ops...” E! writes.
“Los Angeles Superior Court Marsha Revel had ordered that Lohan report to a treatment facility within 24 hours rather than allow her time to unwind before fulfilling the part of her sentence that’s actually going to last for 90 days. ‘Per court order she has been sent directly to her next destination, which is a treatment center,’ Whitmore said. ‘She is now under the supervision of the L.A. County Probation Department. This concludes her custody. We are done. Thank you all for behaving. We can all go home now’,” the e-zine further says.
As we were also telling you earlier today, though initially destined for Morningside Recovery in Orange County, Lindsay’s court-ordered rehab facility turned out to be the UCLA Medical Center. There, she will receive intense counseling for a reported meth addiction and psychiatric problems, like emotional issues and bi polar disorder.
