Lindsay Lohan Threatening To Sue Over Claims She Was 'Loaded' At SAG Awards Party: REPORT

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly furious, claiming there is no truth to reports she was "loaded" at a SAG Awards after-party on Sunday night -- so angry, that according to TMZ the actress is threatening to sue.

According to the website, Lohan is exploring her options with her attorneys as to what type of legal action she can launch against RadarOnline, for a story it ran on Jan. 31 claiming sources saw Lohan go to the "restroom with a male companion on numerous occasions," and when the two emerged, Lohan "was giggling and her nose appeared red." RadarOnline's sources admitted that the actress was only seen drinking water at Chateau Marmont's lounge area, but claim she "appeared to be loaded on something, and she seemed under the influence."

Sources tell TMZ, Lohan is considering legal action because she feels the false stories are sabotaging her efforts to save her career. To her credit, Lohan has recently has some success in cleaning up her act. At her most recent progress hearing, Judge Stephanie Sautner told the 25-year-old actress she was pleased with Lohan's work and advised her to "Just keep doing what you're doing, you appear to be doing it well."

By all accounts this was the best news Lohan had received in long time after being hit with lawsuit after lawsuit and continued legal setbacks. The troubled starlet has been trying to revive her career and stay out of trouble -- she posed for Playboy magazine and is being considered for the role of Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming television movie about her life.

She needs to stop trying to defend every little accusation against her. Although she obviously wants to correct people's rumours people take what she says and it fuels the fire. I can't think of anything more frustrating than people getting in your business and starting rumours that spread like wildfire, I don't blame her for drinking. I mean what else is going to ease the pain of misconception that other people have left against you through their words that seem to be more accountable than hers due to her 'media' reputation that has now stuck with her. I.e : "Lindsay is a drunk, coke addict" so forth. Although there may be other ways to deal with this, she's trying the best way she knows how. She'll learn, eventually.

What a complete waste of a human being.

Is that you Lindsay? My eyes are heavey my eyes are heavy! can't see from all the coke dust flying in the air.
12:29 AM on 02/03/2012
Of course but she'll need to say what she was really doing?! Ohh!
11:27 AM on 02/03/2012
good point!

Lindsay you need to slip into obscurity for a while, perhaps get an education, live a real life around people with real values and revamp your thinking....you have lost complete touch with reality and understandably so, but you need to be a regular person for a while and stop grabbing any media attention you can get.....trust me we are all sick of you and the sight of you makes most of us want to toss a cookie or two...please, please, please accept the fact we are all tired of you and go the heck away.
11:22 AM on 02/03/2012
I'm not tired of her, or sick of her, and I don't feel like tossin any cookies....................I'm proud of her, she has come along way, and I think she's doing fine, to this point......... even the Judge has complimented her............................

I agree, but I think for the most part, it might have been her parents constantly standing up for her, or trying to correct her, and using the media itself to do so, which embarrassed her...........ahhhh, never mind.........sorry Mom, sorry Dad!

Let her sue. I think it is hilarious. She probably was drunk. I mean afterall look at her past. People can change? Maybe , but our court system is helping her stay drunk. They have failed her bigtime. Lock her up for several months. Treat her just like the other inmates with NO special favors. Then let's see if she straigtens up. My guess is that she would. Going to court for her is a day at the circus. She makes a mockery of the entire system. And the judges are too dumb to realize it.

"probably" is the keyword here....probably does not mean fact, it means, well it's probabluy going to rain tomorrow, and yet tomorrow turns out to be a sunny day......

"I mean afterall look at her past." that is being prejudicial..... you nare prejudging her before the facts, based on something other then the facts in this situation.....

thank you, I rest my case.

Poor girl...

It may be out of bullets and she may only have a bloody stump left, but someone needs to tell her to put the gun down and stop shooting herself in the foot...

She is doing no such thing. She has been continuously arrested for the past several years and she doesn't learn. Why because the pathetic court system is coddling her. She laughs all the way to court and all the way home. She hasn't learned anything from the experience and won't until the court system treats her like everyone else. Lock her up for 6 months and see if she comes back after that.

papi-chullo
Lindsay is getting compliments from judge sautner, and if you think sautner is flimsy, well ask the probabtion dept, ask the therapist, ask the bailiffs.... I would use the term abusive, but not even I want to ruffle her feathers..... :]

from jayuucee
Why because the pathetic court system is coddling her. She laughs all the way to court and all the way home.

from papi
that is when they allow her to go home, what is it two or three times just under sautner, has sautner sent her to jail, for ahhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm. issues that were graced by the probabtion dept/report as glowing..... only to be sent to jail for violating probation......... sautner is NOT flimsy.

from jayuucee
She hasn't learned anything from the experience and won't until the court system treats her like everyone else.

from papi
the judge and the jailor both agree, she is being treated like everyone else who was arrested then pled guilty to a misdemeanor, or a simple probation violation....... the jailors and the sherrif baca all agree, she will be treated like everyone else, under the "equal protection clause" constitutional protection clause.

PART II

from jayuucee
Lock her up for 6 months and see if she comes back after that.

from papi
I think a 6 month sentence and you do maybe 20 days.... the jails are so overcrowded.....
Lindsay has been dealing with this last issue for over 1 year, in that time she has been to jail 2,3 maybe 4 times (for the same issue). She goes to a community service program, at the morgue 15 days a month......... that's 5 days a week, for 3 weeks out of 4 weeks per month.

reports showed that the probabtion dept wrote a glowing report for lindsay on one of her court appearances only to be thrown back in jail with the judge condemning the probation report, condemning the therapist report, condemning her appearances at community service, and thrown back in jail.......... so to say this judge is flimsy, is like calling a tiger a kitten.........
the last two appearances before the judge, the judge has given lindsay praise.... i probably shouldn't use that word, because if the judge reads this she might throw her back in jail again..........

Lohan is considered "libel proof". She has burned her career and reputation so badly sueing would be a joke. The only career she has is going to court. No one want's to work with her. She did this all by herself.

PART I

My friend there is a distinct difference between fact or fiction, and good reporting should have two sources........ just for confirmation,

defamation is when someone degrades you with intent to do so and it has a finacial detrimental effect, that can be proven, based on the lies............ the ADL knows this and the gay legal defense against Defamation know this, it's just the rest of mainland society that does not........ but alot of judges know this too....

1. I don't think her probabtion states that she can NOT drink, only that she can NOT drive with a measurable amount of alcohol in her system.... I believe that is in the probabtion reprot and has been confiormed by the Judge on the case, when another issue of her drinking was raised.

2. Claiming that she has done something illegal, even when the probabtion report, and previous rulings by this judge SHOW (fact)....... that drinking is NOT a violation of her probabtion.

3. It is VERY CONCERNING........ VERY CONCERNING to read this report, especially if it has a detrimental effect on her earning capacity....... especially if written as illegal.... it gives the impression that Lindsay is a ...... has broken the law in this situation, when the FACT IS, No law may have been broken.
06:15 PM on 02/02/2012
PART II

4. AGAIN, this is very concerning for Lindsay, for Lindsays sake, of Lindsays career, Lindsays future, lindsays sobriety....... VERY CONCERNING.

5. Maybe this article was written with good intent, maybe with MALICE, as being a MALICIOUS ATTACK on Lindsay........ I don't know, I have NOT read the article.

6. Maybe the media should insist on some accurate reporting in this and/or future situations with this young lady.

7. I beleive a good lawyer goes a long ways to defend their client, and maybe Lindsay has that type of legal counsel.

Agreed. It's bad form to gloat over someone's misfortune's, or keep re-hashing the mistakes of the past.

If she doesn't get that Liz Taylor movie part, she will sue Lifetime.
06:30 PM on 02/02/2012
that's what I was looking for the Liz Taylor movie... She really looked impressive in that photo shoot.......... that is a real good project for lindsay.......
