Lindsay Lohan Talks Her Way Back Into Gotti Film As Kim Gotti

Lindsay Lohan may have had some troubles in the past, actually she’s still resolving these troubles but a girl has to make a living, right? Last week Lindsay Lohan was all the buzz when she was in talks with producer Marc Fiore to play Victoria Gotti in “Gotti: Three Generations.” However negotiations fell apart primarily due to Lindsay’s management and Lindsay was out. Fast forward a few days later and Lindsay is back in by her own volition. Marc Fiore confirmed that Lindsay will play John Gotti Jr.’s wife, Kim Gotti, in a two-movie deal. In addition to ‘Gotti,’ Lohan will also appear in ‘Mob Story.’

“We’re very pleased to have Lindsay on-board for both of these films” Marc told US Magazine. “She has been very enthusiastic about the Gotti project, and after resuming discussions with her, we were impressed by her commitment to the film and felt she would be a perfect Kim Gotti,” he continued.

Lindsay sees this as her comeback,

“I’m really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do,” Lohan tells The Associated Press. “I think it’s such an iconic story. I’m honored to be working with John Travolta and Joe Pesci.”

Lindsay doesn’t need any remainders that she’s on her last leg with her fans but who doesn’t love a good comeback story?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
