Lindsay
Lohan, one of my favorite celebrities smiles after Final probation meeting. I
am a great fan of her and I believe she is a great star. Winner of multiple awards, “Rumor” was one of
my favorite songs. She is a great singer, actor and model.
Keeping my
focus on the above news i.e. “Lindsay Lohan smiles after her Final Probation
Meeting”, I will like to tell you that everything was just fine till 2007.
After which she was charged with two Driving Under Influence incidents and
three visits to rehabilitation facilities. This change of event disrupted her
smooth career and she has to face law for that matter and made her unable to
sign more films.
The
situation became more serious when in May, 2010 when she didn’t appear for a
scheduled DUI progress and the judge issued her a bench warrant for her
arrest. But the warrant was cancelled by
her representatives and posted bail. It
was later on explained by her lawyer that Lohan lost her passport when she
attended the Cannes Film Festival in France. The hearing was rescheduled on May
24, 2010 and she was ordered to attend weekly educational classes on alcohol,
refrain from drinking alcohol, wear alcohol monitoring bracelet and undergo
random alcohol testing to remain free on bail.
It was in
2010 (June) when Lindsay Lohan appeared in Double Exposure on Bravo television
series. Not only had that she given an interview to The Sydney Morning Herald
that indicated that Lindsay Lohan is still young and is in a process of learning
and that doesn’t mean that what they said is true. It’s just that she is
getting messed up and I am constantly trying hard to partying or whatever.
Lindsay
Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail on July 6 on the grounds that she had
violated the terms of her probation by the judge on probation revocation
hearing. Additionally, she was ordered to check into an inpatient
rehabilitation program after her release till three months. It was on July 20
when Lohan was taken into custody to begin her term in jail after she appeared
in the court and released on August 2 after staying for fourteen days at jail.
Te reason behind this short stay was the policy of early release of non-violent
criminals to control jail from being overcrowded. After which she was taken to
rehab facility for 90 days. However she was released after 23 days only as her
lawyers stated that “the treating doctors at UCLA felt she had done everything
required of her there.” After which she continued outpatient therapy and was
able to resume her work. The judge further asked her to go for mandatory random
drug and alcohol testing and to attend behavioral and psychotherapy twice a
week and five 12-step sessions a week.
She was further warned by the judge that failure to work according to
the advice of judge will result in 30 days sentence in jail. After which she
was advised to stay in Los Angeles till November 1.
In August
and September no 2009, Lohan played a role of a spoiled daughter of a rich
businessman where she appeared as taking drugs and being naked most of the time
in a movie called “Machete”. Her role was criticized by many but was
appreciated by Eric D. Snider. She could not appear in its promotion and
premier due to her engagements at rehabilitation centre.
Lohan’s
probation was revoked on September 24, 2010 due to failed drug test and was
released on bail. She spent three months at Betty Ford Centre for drug and alcohol
treatment till January 2011. She was
charged with the theft of a necklace in February 2011, sentenced to jail for
120 days, 360 hours at Downtown Women’s’ centre for community service and 120
hours at Los Angeles. She failed drug test again on May 26 and June 29 and was
not given any additional punishment.
Judge Sautner
sent her to jail and set bail at $100,000 on October 19, 2011. She was briefed
that if she wants to avoid further punishment she should complete her community
service hours till next hearing and was again sent to jail on November 2, sent
to jail for 30 days and 400 hours of community service. She spent less than five
hours in jail on November 7 due to overcrowding.
Later, it
was confirmed that Lohan is free now since she did well at last probation.
Finally there was smiles on everybody’s face after hearing.
