14 DAY TRIAL // Lindsay Lohan, though young, has seen her fair share of legal troubles so far and, most often than not, either alcohol or drugs seem to be a factor. With all this, few are the instances where Lindsay actually owned up to a mistake and that happens, E! Online believes, because she always comes up with the best excuses possible.
This, of course, is not to say that the actress hasn’t always made some pretty ridiculous excuses as well. In fact, as we also told you a while back, Lindsay makes the list of those select few who have made history for coming up with the most absurd and impossible to believe explanations for embarrassing photos or incidents they were involved in. Because of this, E! honored Lindsay with a list all of her own, made up entirely of excuses she served to the media in the aftermath of one scandal or another.
“The black guy did it!” Grand theft auto? Kidnapping? Not if Linds has anything to say about it! Back in 2007, La Lohan spent a night partying with her then assistant and a couple of the assistant’s pals – including one lucky dude named Dante – when L.L.’s assistant quit. Oh no you don’t... According to the lawsuit, this allegedly resulted in a high speed chase (in Dante’s Denali) down the PCH, with Linds in the driver’s seat supposedly yelling ‘I can’t get in trouble. I’m a celebrity. I can do whatever the [expletive] I want!’ The cops didn’t feel the same way so LiLo (unsuccessfully) tried to pin the whole ordeal on her reported helpless passenger, Dante,” E! writes of Lindsay’s number one excuse.
Then, when the cops did manage to pull her over and convince her to get out of the car, they found a small quantity in her jeans. When asked about it, the star again tried to pin this on someone else, the assistant who’d just quit, more specifically. Lohan said the pants belonged to her assistant, who was known for hanging around people who did drugs, and she was just borrowing them. This year, while in Cannes, Lindsay came up with another ridiculous excuse when she missed the flight to attend a court hearing, saying her passport had been stolen – and her father was somehow involved in this plot of making her look bad in front of the judge and the entire world.
“That’s a set up! ‘I wasn’t looking around the room, I thought I was just taking a picture with a fan.’ While on her tour-de-force party spree in Cannes, a photo surfaced of L.L. and her signature pout posing next to what appeared to be a platter of cocaine. But hold the judgment! Lindsay the martyr was just obliging some fans who asked if they could take a pic with the hard-working actress (in their hotel room). She agreed, made herself comfy, and happened to overlook the suspicious white substance a foot in front of her,” E! writes of yet another lame excuse.
Still, one of the favorite excuses of this star remains “It’s the paparazzi’s fault!”. According to Lindsay, the paps were to blame for her first DUI, for the arrest warrant issued in her name when she missed an alcohol class in 2009, and for her recent trips and falls outside LA clubs, in the early hours of morning. As the saying goes, all in a day’s work!
