In a recent interview with The Times, Lindsay Lohan discussed the #MeToo Movement. The actress said;
''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 all these things, it makes them look weak when they are very strong women.''
She continued;
''I can’t speak on something I didn’t live, right? Look, I am very supportive of women. Everyone goes through their own experiences in their own ways. 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.”
After these comments were released, Twitter blew up! People are not one bit happy with what Lohan had to say.
The star has since released a statement to People Magazine apologising for the comments. Lohan has said;
“I would like to unreservedly apologise for any hurt and distress caused by a quote in a recent interview with The Times,
”The quote solely related to my hope that a handful of false testimonies out of a tsunami of heroic voices do not serve to dilute the importance of the #MeToo movement, and all of us who champion it. However, I have since learned how statements like mine are seen as hurtful, which was never my intent. I’m sorry for any pain I may have caused.
''I feel very strongly about the #MeToo movement and have the utmost respect and admiration for the women brave enough to come forward and speak out about their experiences. Their testimony has served to protect those who can’t speak, and give strength to those who have struggled to have their voices heard.
