Just one day after Lindsay Lohan
joked about her less-then-stellar driving record in a Super Bowl
commercial, the actress didn't feel like making light of her party girl
reputation.
She and her mother, Dina Lohan, filed a lawsuit against Fox News; Sean Hannity, the host of its show Hannity;
and one of Hannity's guests, pundit Michelle Fields, for the way Fields
talked about them on the show. On Feb. 4, 2014, in a regular segment
called "The Great American Panel" focused on celebrities such as Philip
Seymour Hoffman, who died from drug use, Fields commented that "Lindsay
Lohan's mom is doing cocaine with her."
Both Lindsay and Dina have been
arrested for being behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol
or drugs, and the two have been photgraphed out on the town together.
But Fields's speculative
statement did not sit well with LiLo's legal team. In a letter dated
Feb. 18, 2014, addressed to Roger Ailes, the chairman and CEO of Fox
News Channel, attorney Mark Jay Heller demanded an apology and
retraction and that video of the comment be removed from the Fox News
website. It called out Fields for her "blatantly false, malicious,
defamatory and reckless statement," and the show for implying that
Lindsay would soon meet the same fate as Anna Nicole Smith, Heath
Ledger, and others. SHARE IT!!
