Oprah Winfrey Tells It Straight To Lindsay Lohan, But Will It Work?
Momma O’s been whipping Li-Lo’s butt in to shape after her recent shenanigans filming her self-titled reality show on OWN, “Lindsay”. Oprah had been informed by the film crew working on the reality show, which is aired on Oprah’s TV network, that Lindsay had been difficult to work with as well as not keeping to schedule. Documentary crew claimed they have been ‘held hostage’ by the Mean Girls actress, who caused ‘chaos’ and was constantly ‘screwing around’.
Oprah’s reaction to the (quite frankly unsurprising) news? How can we put this mildly...she was pretty pissed. Oprah flew out to Lindsay’s home in New York and gave Lohan a piece of her mind. Telling Lohan to ‘cut the bulls***’, Winfrey added she would not allow her to ‘f*** up’. "Who can do any work if the person does not show up?" asked Winfrey, who also explained, "My thing is, this is exactly what everyone said was going to happen, and I believed differently."
We’ve got to say here, while Oprah is one of the most powerful media moguls as well as a great talent and inspiration herself, we have to agree with the people who warned her about Lindsay’s behaviour. Lohan has been in and out of trouble for years and seems pretty adept at promising others she will turn her life around, before immediately going back to her old ways.
Lohan became tearful when discussing her bid to stay sober, "I know I can’t have one drink, I can’t, and I play back the whole story about what I have been through to myself. To throw everything away is not something I am willing to do. I have also not put myself in stupid situations of going out at night to clubs."

Oprah also revealed a message that Lohan had sent to director of the show, Amy Rice, requesting a break from filming. Lohan wrote, "I really need a day today just for myself. I’m with my sober companion now talking and I’m just feeling really pressured and ned to be in my apartment today peacefully and go through things without the cameras. I really need this from you and I’m sorry to even have to ask this."
We’re not totally convinced that Lohan really is dedicated to turning her life around. Especially since the alleged leaked list of her exes coincidentally surfaced around the time she is trying to make a come back and has been indicating she means to write a tell-all book. It doesn’t sound like the fresh start she wants to make is quite as clean cut and wholesome as she’d like Oprah to believe.
Do you think it was wise for Oprah Winfrey to take a chance on Lindsay Lohan, or do you think Lindsay will live up to her bad reputation?
