At first, the girl was addicted to alcohol, but then she began to use something stronger - cocaine. She proved by her own example that “stars” and “drug addicts” are, alas, completely compatible concepts.
A dangerous hobby led the girl to jail. Lohan has been repeatedly arrested for drunk driving. Lindsay, who has become a regular patient in rehabilitation clinics, to this day can not eradicate the addiction that wears out her body. "Addiction is a disease that, unfortunately, does not go away in one night, " the star concluded woefully.
