After Lindsay Lohan’s five-hour stint Friday in Lynwood Correctional Facility, the actress reportedly said she was being treated unfairly because she’s a celebrity, according to AOL’s PopEater in its Naughty But Nice blog.
A source close to Lohan reportedly told the website that the actress “is innocent and can’t understand what’s going on. She didn’t steal any necklace and will be found innocent. It’s obvious this is only happening because she is famous and anyone that thinks celebrities get away with stuff or let off will think again after seeing this."
The comments came after Lohan was found to be in violation of her probation for an earlier DUI and was sent to jail Friday. She was bailed out and is appealing the decision. Meanwhile, her necklace theft case continues, although the charge has been reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.
As part of her probation violation, Lohan has been ordered to do community service in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles and to put in some time working at the morgue, according to reports.
This shows how out of touch with reality Miss Lohan really is.
Any non-celebrity would not have received any of the benefits she did, most notably the spontaneous reduction of her charge to a misdemeanor.
Instead this case shows that celebrities in Los Angeles do get treated by a different set of rules where they can get away with any but the most egregious conduct with a mere slap on the wrist.
