Twitter Doesn't Like Lindsay Lohan Defending Harvey Weinstein

Singer Lindsay Lohan has joined in with Donna Karan and said that she stands by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein after several women made allegations of sexual misconduct against him after an exposé by the New York Times last week.

Lohan shared her thoughts through her Instagram stories saying, “Hi, this is Lindsay Lohan, I’m in Dubai. I’m home. I feel very bad for Harvey Weinstein right now. I don’t think it’s right what’s going on.”

Although she deleted the video in less than an hour of posting it, early Wednesday morning (U.A.E. local time), social media users were quick to record and share it. Twitter went up in flames, thrashing Lohan for her irresponsible comments.

A Twitter user Donovan Gwinn tweeted, "Lindsay Lohan dismissing sex crimes because 'Weinstein never did it to her,' is exactly why rape culture exists."

While Natasha Joseph tweeted, “I just feel like when Lindsay Lohan is one of your biggest defenders it's probably time to take a long, hard look at your life choices.”

Denike thrashed Lohan and tweeted, "Lindsay Lohan saying 'it never happened to me, so it’s all garbage' is EXACTLY the problem with the world. F***. Listen to other experiences."

Some reacted more harshly than others, tweeting that she was dead to them.

Lohan also spoke about Weinstein’s wife, Georgina Chapman and asked her to take a stand for her husband. “I think Georgina needs to take a stand and be there for her husband. He’s never harmed me or did anything to me. We’ve done several movies together. I think everyone needs to stop. I think it’s wrong. So, stand up,” she said.

Chapman announced on Tuesday that she was leaving her husband. She issued a statement to People Magazine which read, "My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband. Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time."

Lohan has previously worked with Weinstein, as her films, “Bobby” and “Scary Movie 5” were both distributed by his company. Her comments on the scandal came right after Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Mira Sorvino joined an array of women accusing Weinstein of indecency.

Her Instagram story is a startling response of sympathy in contrast to many celebrities who have passionately spoken against Weinstein since the scandal was exposed.

On the other hand, TMZ has reported that Weinstein has moved to a European rehabilitation clinic, where he will check himself in for sex addiction and behavioral issues. Weinstein hopes to clean up his act before returning to the United States. He also hopes to come back to the Weinstein company. Reports suggest that his lawyers are in talks with the board of the company, however, it seems unlikely as the board members have not only condemned the magnate but have also agreed to cooperate with the police.
