Lindsay Lohan Racially Profiled? American Actress Stopped By Security While Wearing Headscarf At London's Heathrow Airport

American actress Lindsay Lohan claimed she was "racially profiled" while wearing a headscarf at London's Heathrow Airport, which left her in total disbelief she said in a rare TV appearance on “Good Morning Britain” early Tuesday.

Lohan, 30, told the talk show that she was stopped by an airport attendant on her way to New York.

The airport attendant apparently asked her to remove her headscarf.

"I got stopped at the airport and was racially profiled for the first time in my life," she told hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid. "She opened my passport and saw Lindsay Lohan and started apologizing but said, 'Please, take off your headscarf.'"

The “Mean Girls” star said she wasn't exactly sure if the incident occurred because the airport attendant thought she was Muslim, but said, overall, the entire experience had left her feeling intimidated.

"I mean, it's OK. But what scared me was that moment, how would another woman who doesn't feel comfortable taking off her headscarf feel?" she asked. "That was really interesting to me. I was kind of in shock."

When Reid asked Lohan why she had chosen to wear the headscarf, Lohan cited the look of former Hollywood stars.

"You know what's so interesting to me is when you look back at Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn and these old Hollywood actresses - they used to cover up the same way. With the big glasses and their headscarf.

"You don't want to be seen as much in the airport - my red hair doesn't exactly not stand out.

"I was doing it because I was leaving Turkey and out of respect for certain countries, I go to when I see certain people I feel comfortable acting the same as other women. That's just a personal respect issue for me."

Lohan, who had people speculating whether she'd converted to Islam after she was seen carrying a Quran, noted that she finds “solace” studying the Muslim religion.

"You can't just convert to a religion overnight," Lohan explained. "I just study it, nothing is confirmed yet. The Islamic culture, I feel it's a family to me, they've been really good people to me.”

In regards to the star’s recent incident, Lohan had the right to refuse to remove her headscarf, according to British travel regulations. "If you're wearing headgear for religious or cultural reasons, you can ask for it to be checked using a hand-held scanner, so you don't have to remove it," the rules state, according to Gov.uk.
