Trouble magnet Lindsay Lohan has once again found herself attracting, uh, trouble — this time in the form of a lawsuit.
The actress is being sued by the three men who were in the SUV she drove during a 2007 car chase that resulted in her subsequent DUI arrest, People reports.
Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter and Dante Nigro are suing Lohan for unspecified damages in the case.
The plaintiffs have said that Lilo was “angry and aggressive” and that they “felt surprise, shock, fear and panic” when she allegedly commandeered the SUV in which they happened to be sitting to chase her personal assistant through the streets of Santa Monica, Calif.
“Dante and Jakon continued to implore Lohan to slow down, stating specifically that she was endangering all of their lives and that they could be killed,” People quotes the lawsuit as saying. “Lohan refused to slow or stop, but instead responded with abusive cursing and vulgar language, including a statement that she did not care about the risk of death.”
But the best part, according to the lawsuit, is this: “She also stated that because she was a celebrity she could do whatever she wants.”
Of course, where would a Lindsay Lohan-related scandal be without its instantaneous and ubiquitous rebuttal from a member of her legal and/or publicity corps?
Ed McPherson, Lohan’s attorney, chimed in to TMZ, saying, “These guys had the night of their lives, playing with the radio and leaving the vehicle at one point and getting back in.”
After being arrested, Lohan worked out a deal and spent 84 minutes in jail proving her original statement that, as a celebrity, she really could do whatever she wants.
