Oprah Winfrey Questions Lindsay Lohan On Addiction, Prison And Life Post-Rehab

Oprah Winfrey: The Next Chapter, the highly anticipated interview of Lindsay Lohan by the media mogul aired last night on OWN.

The occasion marks Lohan's first post-rehab in-depth interview and it certainly seems Winfrey hit a few nerves. Lohan was mostly tearful throughout the interview with Winfrey asking questions on addiction, family life and her time in rehab and prison.

Winfrey asked Lohan if she considered herself an addict, which she admitted to. Lohan said alcohol was her drug of choice. She continued by saying alcohol "was a gateway to other things for me." The 27-year-old admitted to taking cocaine around 10-15 times in her life, primarily because "it allowed me to drink more."

Winfrey delved into Lohan's family life and queried how her addiction began. She described her family home as being "chaotic" and inconsistent: that situations would jump from "perfect" to "uncontrollable". She says her addiction resulted from delaying to face her childhood issues. She went on to say that she always assumed, owing to her upbringing, that "it was a comfortable chaos" and she'd continued to live her life in the same way. Lohan claimed this was an addiction in itself.
