Lindsay Lohan Reveals Ongoing PTSD from 2000s Paparazzi Trauma

Lindsay Lohan has opened up about the intense psychological toll her early fame and the aggressive paparazzi culture of the 2000s took on her, revealing that she suffers from extreme PTSD due to invasive and frightening experiences. She expressed a strong desire to protect her family from similar harassment and highlighted how social media has helped celebrities reclaim control over their own narratives. Despite her decades in Hollywood, Lohan feels pigeonholed into certain roles and continues to struggle to secure diverse parts, which she finds frustrating. Seeking peace and privacy, she moved to Dubai in 2015, where the paparazzi culture is less intrusive, and where taking photos without permission is not allowed. Lohan is set to return in the sequel Freakier Friday and is also executive producing a Hulu thriller, Count My Lies. Reflecting on her career, she wishes she had slowed down earlier and appreciates the opportunity to separate her public and private life now.
