American actress Lindsay Lohan opened up about her early stardom struggles.
The 39-year-old actress candidly revealed that she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the situations she encountered during the peak of her career.
In an interview with The Times, the mother of one, while referring to the 2000s paparazzi, stated, "I don't ever want my family to experience being chased by the paparazzi the way I was."
"They were terrifying moments I had in my life I have PTSD to the extreme from those things. The most invasive situations. Really scary. And I pray stuff like that never comes back. It's not safe. It's not fair,” she continued.
Additionally, she mentioned that, in contrast to her younger days, media pressure has declined now, noting, “It was way worse when I was younger,” which she believes is due to the rise of social media.
“Now, because of social media, people can tell their own story in the way that you want it to be told. It has reclaimed the ownership of your life,” the Just My Luck actress told the outlet.
Notably, Lohan's upcoming sequel of the famous 2003 Freaky Friday will hit theaters on Friday, August 8.
Lindsay Lohan's downfall was largely caused by substance abuse issues, legal troubles, and repeated stints in rehab.
