EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Lindsay Lohan 'Didn't Want To Play A Drug Addict,' Says Mom
Posted on Dec 15, 2010 @ 06:20AM
The real reason Lindsay Lohan is no longer slated to play porn star Linda Lovelace in a feature film is because she didn't want to play a drug addict after what she's been through, her mother Dina told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

The Mean Girls star, 24, has had many other offers and is looking at scripts now, and has found two that she particularly likes, Dina added.
Contradicting reports that Lindsay was replaced on Inferno, the story about Lovelace, Dina said: "She turned Inferno down."
Dina Lohan told RadarOnline.com that Lindsay simply didn't want to come out of rehab and play a drug addict.

The recovering actress is scheduled to be released from the Betty Ford Center on January 3.
"The movie is about a drug addict and a porn star... it is hard when you are a serious actor with what she has been through, we don't need that," Dina told RadarOnline.com.

"Lindsay was disappointed because she really wanted to do it, but she felt that it would not be good for her after what she has experienced."
"It was hard for her to turn it down, because it was an amazing role."

In May, it was announced that Lindsay signed to play 70's porn star Lovelace in the independent film, Inferno.

But given Lindsay's recent history with drug abuse, the actress and those close to her felt it wouldn't be a good idea to remain in the role.
Dina told RadarOnline.com: "She felt it wasn't right to take that role after what she had been through, and play a drug addict. She made the ultimate decision, she always does."
Although Lindsay won't be starring as Linda Lovelace, she will continue to follow her passion for acting and remain in the movie industry - she's just looking for the right role.
"We are looking at scripts and she's had a lot of offers. She has two in mind that she likes but we can't say now what they are. We are going to take it slow right now."
But Lindsay is finally taking control of her life, taking her sobriety seriously and making some difficult choices to stay on the path to wellness - and it's starting with her professional choices.

Whether she was let go or she quit matters not--it was not a good idea to play this character so close out of rehab. Too emotional and close to home to help keep her on the sober road. It was a good decision to not have her play this character.

Bull$#^@.
Unless the makers of the movie feel for her (or even give a crap about her for that matter), there's no way they're taking what is most definitely going to be a huge loss and hit on their production plans without suing the crap out of her.

I'm betting that they fired her, but on good terms; allowing her to make it like it was her choice. If I were funding the project, would I want to take a gamble of my production being postponed midway due to some probable drug charge / rehab trip?

Plus Lie-Lo took a pass out from BF to meet with them, then never met them. She blew them off. No doubt they'd had enough, with the rehab, lies and blowing off. Oh yeah, and the drugs.

I see Di-nutz must be low on cash, as she's out peddling this lie. Too bad that the producers of the film very politely and respectfully stated that they fired Lilo. Why would they lie? What would they gain? The Lohans live to lie.

EXACTLY! There was NO maiice, no bad-mouthing LL. No MOTIVE for Wilder to say what he did..EXCEPT: IT IS THE TRUTH.
LL and DL just think they can SAY whatever they want, ---and it will FLY. They are off-the-wall..

Soooooo....LiLo (and DiLo) saw nothing wrong at all with her playing a drug-addicted, porn ho....until rehab got in the way. ("Lindsay was disappointed because she really wanted to do it...")
