Lindsay’s Legal Troubles

With Britney’s court settled, it seems that it’s LiLo’s turn to take the court TV spotlight. Once again, Lindsay is headed for the courts, this time to defend herself from a lawsuit stemming from a dramatic car chase last year.

In July of 2007, between stints in rehab, Lindsay had a very public fight with her assistant – who quit on the spot. Lindsay then hopped into a car containing three men, Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter and Dante Nigro, grabbing the keys and taking over the empty drivers seat to give chase to her assistant. Blake jumped from the car, LiLo ran over his foot, and the other two tried to stop her – one by grabbing the wheel. Reportedly she yelled at them “Touch me and I’ll sue!” and told them she could do whatever she wanted as a celebrity. The wild ride ended outside the police station, where Lindsay was arrested for her second DUI in 90 days, when her breathalizer was failed, and they found cocaine in her pocket. This led to another stint in rehab and one day in jail. At the time, the men said they were “considering taking legal action” – but nothing more was heard of it.

Until today.

The boys have finally decided to sue, claiming that Lindsay endangered their lives, and that it was the worst day of their whole summer. Lindsay’s lawyer, Ed McPherson, released a statement that the lawsuit was absurd, and added “These guys had the night of their lives, playing with the radio and leaving the vehicle at one point and getting back in.”

No word on what Lindsay thinks of the lawsuit, but we’ll be certain to let you know as more develops!
