Lindsay Lohan and her boyfriend her fiance, Russian playboy Egor Tarabasov were supposed to be celebrating a milestone birthday for Lindsay on an exotic Mediterranean Sea beach on the Greek Island of Mykonos. But as it turns out it was a fight on the beach after Lohan grabbed her fiance’s phone and threw it out the window. She got out of the vehicle and ran after the phone. At that point things got violent.
Lohan was angry because Tarabasov had told her he stayed home one night and then pictures emerged showing him at a club. Lohan admitted that he had attacked her in the past. And even though she asked how a woman could stay with a man who did something like that, she admitted that she has been trying to contact him to talk. It sounds like she wants to forgive and forget.
Some people who were on the beach called it a drunken brawl. Lohan has been trying to live down the well deserved reputation that has cost her a career in Hollywood, that at one time looked very promising.
‘I need closure,’ she says. ‘I genuinely fell in love with him but he broke my trust and made me feel unsafe.
‘I know I’m not an angel but I’ve tried to fix things. It’s down to him now. I had suggested we go for couples’ counselling but there comes a time when I have to put myself first, my family, and also think about my career which I’ve worked so hard for. I also don’t want to let my fans down by not being the strong woman I have become.’
Right now, she seems more vulnerable than strong, but there was a time when she was tipped for Hollywood greatness.
She rose to fame at the age of 11 when she was chosen to star in Disney’s remake of The Parent Trap, and for the next few years, every film she made, including Freaky Friday and Herbie: Fully Loaded, struck box office gold.
As she grew older, though, her behaviour off-camera – driving under the influence of alcohol, multiple stints in rehab, failing to turn up to work – saw the roles dry up. Instead she was known as the quintessential Hollywood wild-child.
