Lindsay Lohan Hits Man With Car, Not A Hit And Run Say Police

Lindsay Lohan swiped a man with her $80,000 Porsche after leaving Sayers Club just after midnight Wednesday, according to TMZ.

When the “Mean Girls” actress left the nightclub, she was swarmed by paparazzi and onlookers including the alleged victim, manager of a nearby Hookah Lounge, grazing the 26-year-old unnamed man’s knee when she attempted a three-point turn.

Why did Lohan flee the scene?

Apparently the actress, who recently received high marks from the judge presiding over her probation, assumed the man was fine.

Well, police were called, who may have been phoned by the now redhead actress, to assess the incident and upon investigation considered all involved good to go and case closed unless said struck person contact them citing injury.

Couple hours later, and arguably after research on who actually struck him, the non-US citizen later complained of a need to go to the emergency room with plans to hire an attorney to formally press charges against Lindsay.

“Cops told us they will open a hit-and-run investigation if the manager files a report.”

Tricky part is Lohan could come out of this fairly well if the manager isn’t indeed injured, if not, that could constitute the crime of a hit-and-run—affecting her probation status. In the latest update according to LA Times, Officer Norma Eisenman of the Los Angeles police department does not consider the case a hit and run.

The “Parent Trap” actress was experiencing some recent career highs with being part of Saturday Night Live’s highest rated show of the season when she hosted and reportedly signed on with Lifetime to play Elizabeth Taylor in the late actress’ biopic.

 

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
