Lindsay Lohan: "I am Innocent" & how does this effect her new movie?

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Lindsay Lohan has spoken out about her DUI offence which saw her arrested earlier this week, insisting she is innocent. The part-time actress, full time party going alcoholic (will i get sued for saying that?) was pulled over by the police in California and was found intoxicated and in possession of drugs but she didn't stay long in jail as she was bailed out for $25,000. The following comes from IMDB news...

In an email to Access Hollywood, Lohan writes, "I am innocent... did not do drugs they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin's mom. I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy."

Lohan has a court date of August 24th set where she will have to answer the DUI charges and also a separate incident which occured in May. Then she is expected to go back to rehab and once again try and sort her life out. An interesting point to make is that Lohan's latest film, the horror flick (which will probably be her last film for a long time) I Know Who Killed Me opens this weekend and the actress has been unable to do any press interviews to hype the film and now her latest insane antics might put audiences off the movie. It happened to Tom Cruise and it certainly happened to Russell Crowe with Cinderella Man. Personal lives do effect audiences reaction to actors and they play a huge part in the 'average joe' deciding on whether they want to see a flick or not. I really can't see how I Know Who Killed Me will benefit from all this... and Lohan may have cost TriStar some millions of dollars. I'm sure that's the last thing that's worrying Lohan at the moment but the studio have to be more than a little pissed.
