You can count on Lindsay Lohan for one thing: the girl is never boring. Whether she’s getting busted for drugs, feuding with her dad, or making out with random Italian dudes, she’s always great tabloid fodder without the shameful/sad factor Britney has. Now, Lindsay’s ex-boyfriend, snowboarder Riley Giles (who she met in rehab) is making a quick buck by selling stories about her and naked photos of her to various tabloids. Here’s our favorite story (because it’s about an assistant, of course!), from the UK’s News of the World.
Riley is convinced Lindsay is determined to stay off drugs. And he revealed how she confessed she is haunted by a horrifying near-death experience.
He said: “She was in a London hotel and had been out partying all night and taking drugs. Back in her room she downed a load of Xanax anti-depressants and alcohol to mellow her out. She started running a bath, climbed in and before she knew it she’d passed out.
“As the bath overflowed she was totally unconscious and it was only because her assistant ran in and saved her that she didn’t drown. Lindsay said that was a terrifying wake-up call and showed her just how close she was to losing her life through drugs.”
See, celebrities? Your assistants are worth their weight in gold.
