If there’s a sadder story playing out in Hollywood right now than the downfall of Lindsay Lohan, we’re unaware of it. Unfortunately, this is a story we see much too often with former child stars addicted to more than just fame. A tough judge helped to give us Robert Downey Jr. back, another seems to have settled Paris Hilton down. Hopefully this dose of harsh reality will be a step that helps to keep The Lindsay Lohan Story from turning into a full-blown tragedy.
A judge sentenced Lindsay Lohan on Tuesday to 90 days in jail and an inpatient rehab program after finding the actress had violated the terms of her probation in a 2007 drug case.
The actress immediately burst into tears after the ruling.
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued the sentence after listening to testimony from employees of an alcohol treatment program that Lohan had been ordered to attend.
Lohan missed seven classes since December, which led to the judge’s harsh rebuke of Lohan moments after the “Mean Girls” star offered a tearful apology.
“I did do everything I was told to do and did the best I could to balance jobs and showing up,” Lohan told the judge. “It wasn’t vacation, it wasn’t some sort of a joke.”
Revel said she found Lohan’s apology insincere, comparing it to “somebody who cheats and thinks it isn’t cheating if she doesn’t get caught.”
Lohan was not immediately taken into custody and will be permitted to surrender on July 20. She will have to wear an ankle alcohol monitor until then.
