Lindsay Lohan says she would never become a druggie — because she saw what it did to her father.
The “Mean Girls” star admits to having smoked pot — she says she hated it — but says she has never tried cocaine.
“I’ve seen my father,” Lohan told the London Mirror. “I’ve seen how it messes with families and [bleeps] your life up. If I hadn’t witnessed that, I may have gone a different route. I don’t know. But I’ve seen how it tore my parents apart.”
Her father, a former financier who created and sold a successful pasta business, was recently jailed for a variety of charges including assault and drunk driving. “He has never done anything for my family or for my career,” she said. “I don’t have any respect for someone who has treated my mother the way he has and by not being a responsible father.”
Whatever Lohan may have gone through, her ego seems to have survived intact. “I feel I have a lot of talent, but I’m only now getting to do the kinds of projects where I can push myself and show what I can do,” she explained. “I’m pretty ambitious and I want to have a very interesting career.”
