A studio executive scolded Lindsay Lohan in a letter for her behavior on a movie set and doubted her reasons earlier this week when she said she suffered from heat exhaustion.
James G. Robinson, CEO of Morgan Creek Productions, sent the letter dated July 26 to the 20-year-old actress, as well as agents, producers and others involved in the film.
On Tuesday, Lohan's publicist told the syndicated entertainment show "The Insider" that her client was taken to a hospital, where she was treated for overheating and dehydration. Lohan had been filming "Georgia Rule" in 105-degree weather for 12 hours that day, spokeswoman Leslie Sloan Zelnick said.
Robinson, 70, wasn't buying the excuse.
"You and your representatives have told us that your various late arrivals and absences from the set have been the result of illness; today we were told it was 'heat exhaustion.' We are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called 'exhaustion,'" Robinson wrote in the letter posted Friday on TheSmokingGun.com.
The letter was authenticated by a spokesman for Morgan Creek, according to the Web site and the Los Angeles Times.
Phone messages left for Zelnick and Morgan Creek were not immediately returned late Friday.
Lohan plays a troubled teen in "Georgia Rule," which also stars Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman. Robinson said in the letter that Lohan has been frequently late for filming and has been "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional."
"You have acted like a spoiled child and in so doing have alienated many of your co-workers and endangered the quality of this picture," Robinson wrote.
The studio executive also said if Lohan does not honor her commitments, the studio will pursue "full monetary damages" and take other necessary action to preserve the studio's financial interests.
The star of "Freaky Friday" and "Herbie: Fully Loaded," Lohan was treated at hospitals twice in January in London for a cut on her leg and in the Miami area for an asthma attack.
In 2005, she was hospitalized for exhaustion and lost a noticeable amount of weight.
Here's the letter:
She's burning out fast and will soon be a "whatever happened to?".
I will take one for the team and volunteer to spank her.
Was that not where Belushi took his last breath?
Indeed.
Sadly, she was a little healthier when this photo and the one you posted were taken.
She's not nearly as hot these days.
Indeed.
Actually, she was horrible looking (lost all her weight and dyed her hair blonde), but she gained the weight back and redyed her hair, so she's hot again.
I heard it in a stand-up comic's act....exhaustion is a rich person's ailment. When was the last time you heard a street person walk into a hospital and say, "Give me a bed. I'm exhausted.....?"
In Hollywood "hospitalized for exhaustion" has always been a euphemism for "I've been binging on cocaine and haven't slept for two weeks!"
That or "I've got a really really bad hangover".
FWIW, one of my friends has met her a few times at some clubs in Manhattan (he's a promoter) , and said she is actually a very nice and friendly person, and not a snob like alot of other celebrities....though he describes most of her friends as trash.
Now, she is a freckled mess.
Here are some more recent ones of her:
Well, those paparazzi shots are never very flattering.
Besides, no matter how hard she tried, she could never look as good as you.
It must suck to be called a "spoiled child" on company letterhead by a CEO.
At least she can still work night security with Gary Coleman.
That pic #3 is just horrible. I've seen better skin on 60 year old grandma biker chicks.
Just a thought on Judy Garland, despite all the "wonderful girl crushed by Hollywood" talk, I've read that she got into pills pretty young, and that studio execs confronted her many times about her drug use. She supposedly had several doctors, aliases, and accounts with drug stores, and vehemnently denied she was doing drugs until the studios finally gave up on her.
Maybe she, Brittany Spears, David Hasselhoff and Mel Gibson can start a new singing group.
Thank you pc, that's very sweet of you to think so ;)
