Lindsay Lohan is throwing her name in the hat for the least popular opinion of 2018 in pretty spectacular style.
The actress had some bizarrely harsh words for those who have spoken out in the powerful #MeToo movement which began after the Hollywood sexual misconduct scandal.
Speaking in an interview with the Times the 32-year-old discussed her own on-set experiences in Hollywood stating that she didn’t “really have anything to say” about the movement which started last year.
“I can’t speak on something I don’t live, right? Look, I am very supportive of women. Everyone goes through their own experiences in their own ways”.
She went on to discuss woman that have experienced sexual harassment, questioning the timing in which they decided to raise attention to the incidents.
“If it happens at that moment, you discuss it at that moment.”
“You make it a real thing by making it a police report,”
“I’m going to really hate myself for saying this, but I think by women speaking against these things, it makes them look weak when they are very strong women.”
Lohan went on to question the motive behind some of the accusations.
“You have these girls who come out, who don’t even know who they are, who do it for the attention. That is taking away from the fact that it happened.”
Lohan now co-owns a beach bar in Mykonos, Greece. In the interview she cited an infamous fight with her ex-fiance, Egor Tarabasov, on the very beach as the inspiration for her success abroad.
“I had a fight with my ex on this very beach. What did I do? Nothing,” she said.
“I just took over the beach. The best revenge is success, right?”
I mean, yeah the beach bar story, pretty damn cool. The comments about #MeToo, not so much.
The #MeToo movement started after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.
#MeToo was used to demonstrate the prominence of sexual assault in the workplace.
