Lindsay Lohan has shared her thoughts on the #MeToo movement currently sweeping the entertainment industry and elsewhere, suggesting it can make women look “weak”.

In an interview with The Times, the actress conceded that she didn’t really “have anything to say” on the matter as she had not experienced harassment or abuse herself.

“I can’t speak on something I didn’t live, right?” she said.

Lohan went on to say that although she was “very supportive of women” and their individual experiences, she believes incidents of sexual misconduct should be discussed “at that moment”.

“You make it a real thing by making it a police report. I’m going to really hate myself for saying this, but I think by women speaking against all these things, it makes them look weak when they are very strong women,” she continued.

“You have these girls who come out, who don’t even know who they are, who do it for the attention. That is taking away from the fact that it happened.”

Lindsay has sparked fierce criticism from fans for similar comments last year about the allegations of sexual harassment made against disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein, which he continues to “unequivocally” deny.

In comments shared on Instagram, which were later deleted, Lindsay said that she felt “very bad” for the Hollywood magnate and insisted that the claims against him were “wrong”.

“I don’t think it’s right what’s going on,” she said in a video. “He’s never harmed me or did anything to me – we’ve done several movies together.”
