As a recovering addict myself, I have real sympathy for people who are struggling. And It's clear that Lindsay Lohan is stuck in the hellish vortex of addiction.

Theres a saying in Al-Anon I really believe in: "Don't reward their sickness, only their health"

It is stunning to me that Hollywood (and the judicial system) continually rewards Ms. Lohan while she is so clearly troubled.

But the part that makes me want to weep with rage while scre-vomiting? These asshole producers who hire Ms. Lohan, and then act surprised & offended when she inevitably implodes, over & over &over;& over again.

Why? TO GET ATTENTION FOR THEIR FILM.

Liz & Dick producer Larry Thomson literally could not SHUT UP about her, appearing on countless tv shows & having gleeful interviews where he excitedly babbled: (This is E! online, but there are many, many more where he says pretty much the same):

"We had serious challenges to deal with due to her probation and her history, therefore we had to make a deal where there were pages and pages of ‘what if' clauses. What if there is a violation of her probation [and she's] incarcerated?' Those ‘what ifs' were plenty. She might be the most insured actress who ever walked on a soundstage. We tried to insure ourselves against things that could and, in fact, did happen. It was a challenge."

Scary Movie 5

"Lohan disappeared, blew off rehearsals, missed her flight to the set and even bizarrely claimed she had walking pneumonia." Eventually, after being threatened with a lawsuit, Lohan got on the private jet they sent her and went down to film the damn thing. Here's the thing I don't get at this point: The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls. That's Lindsay Lohan's filmic oeuvre before things went screwy. And she's still in-demand? It just doesn't follow. It doesn't make sense. She was good once, but that was almost a decade a go. And yet we keep sending her private jets. [Page Six]"

The Canyons

According to Perez Hilton & TMZ, Producers are "stunned" that their movie has been rejected by Sundance. Yet "producers know just who is to blame for the rejection- their star! They think it was Lindsay's infamous antics that repelled the classy critics! According to them, Sundance was chomping at the bit for the flick until LiLo's offscreen craziness was revealed."

I guess they’re referring not only to her car crashes & other usual Linsanity, but the revealing NYTimes piece that recounted, in agonizing detail, Ms. Lohan's inexcusable behavior, her chronic lateness due to partying all night, her rude arrogance toward the director & her rampant narcissism.

When I read this article, all I kept thinking was that SHE’S CLUELESS. Because most addicts would at least make a modicum effort to appear somewhat SANE when the reporter from The NYTimes is on set.

But no...she behaves like this because SHE STILL GETS REWARDED FOR IT. 20 court appearances, multiple car crashes, stealing, bar fights, terrible behavior, awful acting, rehab after rehab, none of it matters.

She lives in Schultz-ville, Long Island, and for reasons even she no longer knows, she continues to get work (which I’m pretty sure she equates with love.)

I'm all for giving Lindsay work, after she's taken a 10 year hiatus to become a sober, sane, generous person.

Hire her now? You're simply feeding the beast.

But hey, it’s your movie by all means, go for it ....but don't you DARE snivel about her "shocking" behavior, you fucking moron.
