Lindsay Lohan, in an interview with The Sunday Times, which was published on August 2, opened up about the difficult experiences during her early career, adding that she would never want her family to go through what she did because of the behavior by the paparazzi. She said:

“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."

Lohan further added that the way the paparazzi behave now is still much better compared to the early 2000s, when she was a young actress. She explained that paparazzi do not have the same kind of story to chase anymore because people can tell their own stories through social media. She said:

"I feel that it [the paparazzi’s invasion of personal privacy] doesn’t happen as badly now as it did. It was way worse when I was younger, but 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."

Lindsay Lohan also highlighted the rude manner in which some fans click pictures without asking for her permission, and that has made her more cautious about her every move. She said:

"That’s scary. I’d rather someone just ask if they can take a photo, or else you get cautious of every move you make.”

The "Mean Girls" actress also commented on how she has learned to separate her private and public life. She said:

"We didn’t have that. But what I have learned over time is how to separate my private life and public life, and that was difficult for me because nobody ever teaches you how to do that.”
