Lohan Blasts Back: "I am Innocent"

Lindsay Lohan is refusing to accept responsibility for her Tuesday morning DUI arrest, releasing a straight-to-the-point statement to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush yesterday:

"Yes. 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."

316. Denial is a part of addiction. Who's surprised by this 'statement'? But what about the .12 (or so) alcohol level? How does she explain that?

Also, she must be an incredibly selfless person, to carry someone else's cocaine while awaiting an upcoming trial.

That must be some friend -- knowing that she's fresh out of recovery, yet asking her to hold their stash, as she drive home drunk and alone.

Sounds like she needs to learn how to say 'No'...to a quite a few things.

I hope she gets real with herself because then, and only then, will she make any lasting progress in her recovery.

318. The first thought that came to my mind when I heard about the arrest on the TV news last night was...Lindsay Lohan is no longer insurable.

By the way, to the ignoramus who thinks you can't get sober in California: I'm a grateful example of 11+ years sobriety as the result of a 28-day inpatient rehab program in Southern California. No, it wasn't a fancy, rich person's place. And I'm sure that these recovery 'spas' are not as structured as they should be. However, to make a blanket statement that one has to leave California to get sober is an insult and a slap in the fact to the hundreds of thousands of recovering alcoholics and addicts.

320. Sure the cocaine wasn't yours and your ex assistance mom is the cause of the chase.....

If you expect people to believe that BS Lohan you must also think Santa really comes down a chimney and the easter bunny leaves candy eggs in your yard too.

Minimum of six months jail time coming Lilo.......time to detox the right way....in a jail cell instead of a spa resort like Promises

321. does an innocent person have to die before something is done? throw her behind in jail with some pipe hitting inmates and let them go medieval on her ass, I guarantee she will learn the meaning of humility...

322. C'mon people cut LiLo some slack here -

It's clear that she was holding the smack in her pocket for a “friend.” Haven’t we all done this for our “friend” now and again? I respect LiLo for safekeeping the coke – what a good person to do that for her “friend.”

And she’s 21 now, so she has the right not only to get smashed on a daily basis, but also to drive drunk in her high end Mercedes or luxury SUV. It is her privilege now, we shouldn’t be so harsh. And really - would we act any differently if we were in her position? Gosh, surely we can’t imagine the stress she endures day in and day out. Yeah, you might work 40, 60, 80 hours a week day after day, anf if you’re like me, only take 4 days of personal vacation per year, but actors like LiLo has have to pack in a few 2-3H work days a week. Those 10 hour work weeks can really get to you. Have any of *you* ever been on a grueling movie set? Well, I have. A few years back I spent a few days with a buddy who does lighting in NYC for studios. I saw it for myself - those actors really have it tough. Yeah, yeah, all the food is catered to their private room, and all their posh hotels are paid for, and they must endure arriving by Gulfstream jets and limos, but the cruelty of those 2 hour work days was apparent to me. I mean, true, if we screw up at our jobs a few times we get fired, and actors have as many “takes” as they need (and they use a lot, trust me!), but the stress of this bears down on them. None of you can imagine having to jet in, work for a few hours as you are spoon-fed expensive food, and then have to deal with the mental anguish of planning your next party and shopping spree.

So before you all jump down LiLo or other actors’ backs, remember - it’s a tough life working maybe 40 hours a month (for 3-4 months a year if you’re busy) and making million$ to boot. This rough lifestyle will drive you to drink, and to drinking and driving. But if you’re strong like LiLo, you will continue to be a good person and hold the coke and heroin for your “friends” in their time of need. What, you don’t believe me how hard it is? Ok, I put you to the challenge. Try working 2 hours a day and eating catered food. See what it feels like to bump your head while deplaning from a private jet. Try figuring out which fab club to go to every night after an exhausting day of shopping, poolsiding, and drinking. Just ask Mel. Try balancing your checkbook when you have millions coming in for virtually no effort whatsoever. You’ll see. As our president says, “it’s hard work.”

So LiLo, please accept our apologies. We know we simply couldn’t function in your movie-star world. People like us just couldn’t handle all that hard work.

325. In her first bust back in May she had cocaine in her glove compartment too. And, now this time on her person in a pocket. Yet, she keeps denying the cocaine despite being caught with it two times

She's a train wreck and has to do some serious jail time before she kills herself or someone else.

326. She has given her emotions away to a million guys that she forgets about in 20 minutes, she sells her so-called talent, and she's rotted her brain and body away with Titanic amounts of alcohol and cocaine, and who knows what else. Next up on the downward spiral: getting arrested, charged and booked for prostitution. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility...
