From bankruptcy and foreclosure, to assault and a love child, the Lohan clan has attempted
to hide some of their darkest moments.
But eventually, everything shakes out in Hollywood.
Here are some of the biggest scandals the Lohans tried to brush under the rug.
Lindsay's drug use
The Lohans have had their issues with substance abuse, but Lindsay has made the most headlines
for it.
While her first arrest wasn't until May of 2007, weeks shy of her 21st birthday, it seems
her bad habits began several years earlier.
Her dad, Michael Lohan, told The Sun that Lindsay overdosed on cocaine at just 18 years
old while filming Just My Luck in 2005, shortly after he and then-wife Dina Lohan split.
But Lindsay told a different story to Piers Morgan in 2013, claiming that the first time
she did cocaine was the night she was arrested in 2007 — and that she'd only used it several
times in her life.
Then she later admitted a different number to Oprah in 2013.
"I really haven't done it more than ten to fifteen times.
Of course I said three or four, I was terrified of being judged."
Living arrangements
A source told Radar Online that Lindsay could no longer afford living in Los Angeles and
was forced to move back into her Long Island home with her mom in 2013.
Aside from being hard up for cash, the source claimed, "In the past, Lindsay has managed
to rope in another person to co-sign on leases…However, she couldn't find anyone willing to do that
now as she has burned so many of her friends and associates."
Around this time, Lindsay was also reportedly in a bit of trouble with the IRS.
According to the Daily News, she owed more than $200,000 in taxes, prompting the IRS
to freeze her bank accounts.
But maybe her money troubles actually point right back to her family.
After Dina and Michael decided to go their separate ways, it seems Dina's pocketbook
took a hit.
Choosing to stay in the house her children were living in, she reportedly had trouble
coming up with the mortgage payments.
According to reports, Dina borrowed $40,000 from Lindsay in 2012 to avoid eviction, but
the money was only a temporary fix.
According to Realtor.com, JPMorgan Chase Bank was granted permission in December 2016 to
sell Dina's house at auction.
While it has yet to sell, the 4,000-square-foot, Colonial-style home in Merrick, New York is
valued at around $900,000.
Love child
Michael had several public affairs throughout his marriage to Dina, but most people don't
know that one of those dalliances produced a child.
Ashley Horn was born after Lindsay's sister, Ali, and before her brother, Cody — but
she didn't meet her biological father until she was 17.
Michael appeared on The Trisha Goddard Show alongside Horn and her mother, Kristi Horn,
and took a DNA test.
After the show's host confirmed he was the father, he acknowledged Ashley as his child,
after years of allegedly refusing to pay child support.
Ashley then allegedly underwent $25,000 worth of surgeries to look like her famous sib,
telling InTouch Weekly, "My goal was to look like Lindsay in her good days, when she was
around 18, 19 years old."
She later backtracked on her comments on The Trisha Goddard Show, saying:
"I am so sorry for letting the media... use me to drag you into this.
It was not my intention."
Hit list
According to InTouch in 2014, a source shared Lindsay's handwritten list of sexual partners
— which included stars like Justin Timberlake, Zac Efron, and Heath Ledger — after spotting
Lindsay giggling over it with a friend at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Lindsay was filming her documentary series on OWN, when the story about her sexcapades
broke.
"The fact that that happened was not only humiliating, but just mean."
Lindsay later admitted on Watch What Happens Live, that the list was real, but was compiled
as part of her rehab process.
"That was actually my fifth step in AA at Betty Ford.
And someone, when I was moving... must have taken a photo of it.
And so that's a really personal thing and it's really unfortunate."
Serious accusations
Lindsay's relationship with wealthy Russian real estate mogul Egor Tarabasov was rocky
from the start.
In a social media fit, she accused her much younger beau of cheating on her with a Russian
street walker.
Around that time, Radar Online released a video allegedly showing Tarabasov wrestling
a cellphone out of Lindsay's hands during an argument.
In an interview with Russian TV's Channel One, Lindsay revealed why she and Tarabasov
called off their engagement and made some very serious accusations.
"I went to bed, and he broke into my house.
He started strangling me.
I feared that Egor may splash acid in my face.
I jumped out to the balcony and shouted with all my force, 'He's trying to kill me, call
the police!'"
Tarabasov denied Lindsay's accusations and said no charges were brought against him.
Running a tab
Rumor has it that Lindsay has a habit of conveniently finding ways to avoid paying her bills.
At LA's Crown Bar, People reported that Lindsay was seen grabbing two bottles of expensive
champagne from the kitchen.
According to a source, "When the bartender gave her a bill, she had a meltdown…"
A witness claimed the actress left the bar crying and insisting that she shouldn't have
to pay for drinks.
According to TMZ, Lindsay racked up a $40,000 tanning bill over the course of two years
with Tanning Vegas, and she was reportedly asked to leave the popular Chateau Marmont
in West Hollywood after not paying her $45,000 room service bill.
A letter from hotel management, acquired by TMZ, said Lindsay was banned from the property
in 2012.
Child safety
After Michael's marriage to Dina dissolved, he then married Kate Major, and had two sons,
Landon and Logan.
According to TMZ, after a nasty argument in 2015, police were called to the couple's home
and a then-2-year-old Landon and 10-month-old Logan were removed by the Florida Department
of Children and Families and held in state custody until a responsible adult could take
care of them.
Grandma Marilyn Lohan flew from Long Island to Florida to temporarily care for the kids,
Page Six reported.
Michael blamed his estranged wife's alleged drinking and drug use for the family's foster
care situation and even claimed his ex Dina offered to help out, and, "Would be more than
happy to take care of my kids for me."
Dina and Michael offering to help one another?
That might be the most surprising secret of all...
