Lindsay: "I Am Addicted to Alcohol and Drugs"

Posted Aug 23rd 2007 5:47PM by TMZ Staff

Lindsay Lohan issued the following statement to TMZ:

"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have.

I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so."

79. I think she's lying through her teeth. In a few weeks, we'll hear more drama about her partying at clubs and messing herself up again. Look at Paris Hilton's little act on Larry King and how she reverted to her spoiled princess attitude afterwards. It's all the same with these people.....

80. Isn't that the same little diddy that Nicole and Paris gave, when each of them were sentenced? Good luck Lindsay. But it'll take a while for anyone to fully buy it.

82. That statement was drafted by her lawyer or publicist--not sincere and I wouldn't believe her if she was making a statement from the podium--she is actresses...would you believe a crook with a rap sheet a mile long? Remember all the lies Hilton told on the Larry King Show?

83. Good thing she is quoting from the Big Book (the AA Bible), which I'm sure she has yet to read, but has conveniently had highlighted by her publicist. More than likely the same copy that she used as a prop in her latest in rehab photo shoot. What a douche bag.

84. Not buying a bit of it. 100% publicist, 0% Lindsay. Nice try.

85. That is absolute b*llsh*t why dot they go crucify her like Paris Hilton....good job going through all of that to make an example and Ritchie and Lohan get off with minor sentences...Lohan's bein the least amount to serve or be correctly punished in jail and had the worst offense. This is unreal that these stupid ass judges would either believe that goin to rehab wil make it all better or are taking money under the table and letting these skanky, trashy little girls run fre when they could have seriousy hurt or killed somone....but ya know even if they kill someone I guess 90 days in jail would the trick!

86. City Attorney's Rocky Delgadio, Phone Number...to complain directly....213-974-3511 or 213-978-8100. unbelievable

87. Who are these douches that vote 'yes' for the is she sincere question? I mean, seriously, you dweebs really don't know that her lawyer or PR person wrote that? Yeah, right, remember just a few months ago the girl couldn't even spell 'adequate' correctly!! Looks like Lindsay's not the only moron in America.
