Lindsay Lohan's Day In Court: Tells Judge She Can't Afford Private Counseling

Lindsay Lohan made a court appearance on Thursday to check in on her progress following her release from house arrest, but now it looks like she's facing a whole different problem. She's broke.

According to People.com, the actress hasn't been able to keep up with her court-ordered psychological treatment because she can't afford it.

The Daily Mail reports her lawyer, Shaun Chapman Holley, revealed during the hearing that due to Lohan's lack of acting gigs, her Screen Actors Guild coverage has run out. She did manage to film a commercial while under a 35-day house arrest, and recently did a racy photo shoot with celebrity photographer Tyler Shields. But these brief jobs apparently aren't paying the bills. She no longer has medical insurance and is unable to attend group therapy because of the hounding paparazzi. But this poverty plea is beyond hard to believe.

The Daily Mail cleverly pointed out that while Lohan sat in the court room claiming she could not afford the treatment she is required to get, she was wearing a pair of $1,195, Christian Louboutin Madame Butterfly booties. Not the best of wardrobe choice there, Lindsay.

Lindsay you need to stop being an idiot and destroying your own life!! You were blessed with a talent to act, which many many people haven't been blessed with. You are young and you have your whole life ahead of you, if you just get your head out of your butt and do what you are good at. Forget the drugs and alcohol, focus on doing good in your life. Don't waste it, life is way to short and one doesn't always get a second chance. Best of luck to you and may God Bless you and guide you in the right direction.

Since she worked on Machete in the fall of 2009 she would have qualified to partake of the top tier SAG plan (minimum earnings $29,000) for all of 2010 and the qualified for SAG COBRA.

SAG’s COBRA runs for 18 months. The SAG Health Plan allows for 40 mental health therapy session for a $20 co-pay per visit.

Her Health Insurance probably lapsed because she stopped making her monthly COBRA payments.

After all she does need to live in a $10,000/mo home.

Trade in a few pair of your Manolo's, Lindsay. That should be good for a few months of sessions.

This girl is pathetic - how did she pay for those ugly toenails? Or her that ugly Lady Gaga outfit? Or those expensive Channel glasses? She is making a complete fool out of the judicial system in California - if she cant afford therapy send her to court ordered therapy with all the hardcore Blacks and Latinos in LA who do not have these options when they are arrested

Sadly, all these comments are very much identical to those leveled over the years in regards to Amy Winehouse. She too probably had all the wrong people around her, and where did that get her. DEAD. She was a great talent. I met Lindsay when she was seventeen. She wasn't nice, and I told the woman that owned the coffee shop, either she checked her attitude at the cosmic door, or she'll go down in flames. So, instead of everyone jumping on the bashing bandwagon, (I'm as guilty as anyone) let's giver her support.....Let's try this? LINDSAY LOHAN, WE WANT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TALENTED. BUT WE DO NOT WANT YOU WITH THIS SELF-CENTERED ATTITUDE! PLEASE, DO NOT LET SO MANY HATERS HAVE THE SATISFACTION OF SEEING YOU COMPLETELY SELF- DESTRUCT. ENTERTAIN US, HUMBLE YOURSELF, TAKE SOME ACTING CLASSES, GETTING BACK ON THE BOARDS, IS THE BEST THERAPY FOR AN ACTOR. YOU DO NOT NEED TO IMPRESS US, LOVE US AND WE WILL LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS, AND GOOD LUCK, YOUNG LADY.

Sounded like more of a statement of fact than a wish or hope. Just saying!

She can do what the rest of us do when we need therapy and do not have mental health coverage: Go to the county mental health facility and see a Masters-level counselor on a sliding-scale fee schedule!

This girl has serious emotional and mental issues. She needs therapy performed by caring mental health professionals who know how to handle these situations. She will bounce back. It is called `Human Resilience.`

Or else she won't, like John Belushi. Or Michael Jackson. It is called 'Human Frailty.'
