Lindsay Lohan: 'I'm Responsible and Following the Rules'

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jun 24th 2011 06:15AM

Lindsay Lohan dodged another bullet yesterday and avoided additional jail time due to a positive alcohol test, and now she wants everyone to know she's serious about her recovery. Though a judge ruled that there are no alcohol restrictions during her house arrest, the troubled actress still insists she's sober.

According to TMZ, Lohan maintains she's staying away from booze as part of her rehab program and that she only tested positive for alcohol due to her favorite kombucha tea. The fermented drink contains less than 0.05 percent alcohol, but may have caused the positive test results.

"I am responsible, and I'm following the rules and obeying my judge and the Los Angeles judicial system," Lohan told TMZ after the court hearing, adding she just wants to move on with her life after she completes her house arrest sentence next week.

"I'd like to do what I must to get my film career back and the respect of directors, actors, writers, studio heads, fans and so on," she said.

This isn't the first time the kombucha tea has caused problem for the recovering actress. She made headline in March when she was spotted with the tea, and it was reported the "alcoholic" drink was added as an infraction on her probation report.

Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled in favor of Lohan in court yesterday, declaring that the actress only had to submit to drug tests between February 3 and February 25, therefore throwing out claims the positive alcohol test violated her probation.

Sautner put no limitations on Lohan's alcohol consumption, but did scold her for being guilty of "poor judgement" when she threw a party at her home while serving her sentence.

This is infuriating and exhausting: Would inmates in a jail be told to shape up, without any other consequence, if they were found to have been drinking within jail walls? There is a saying that there are no bad dogs, just bad owners: In Lindsay's case, my exasperation with her is now entirely directed at the judicial system; there are no bad celebrities, just bad judges.

I don't believe her. She got away with it, AGAIN, and now she's insulting us by trying to get us to believe that she's being honest. Linzey, just stfu and go away. You have no career, and very few fans and no one really likes you.

I'm so tired of this annoying bimbo.

By Mary

She thinks she has no problems, wake up Lilo. You get away with everything and keep getting into trouble, and will keep getting into trouble til something tragic happens.

Doesn't her house arrest end Thursday? She should have to serve the full 120 days, it's not over crowded at her house. I give her 2 months til she is in court again.

She is in the country of Denial ( not the river in Egypt)...which shares a border with LA-LA Land. A testimony to the california legal system. They sure taught her a lesson...NOT

I worked for some one who ended up under house detention and one of the conditions was that NO work was allowed, California seems to be different in all areas of criminal justice.

I thought the same thing, it MUST be Obama's fault! Last weekend, my picnic plans got rained out. And you know what - it was all because of Obama! STFU.

In regards to LOL, I mean LILO, who cares. Let her drink her damn tea. It nunya biz.

The judge sure showed her. No more house parties while she's still on probation. That ends next Wednesday.

By tim

The judge should be put in jail.

Good luck with earning respect of Hollywood and fans. You lost that a long time ago.

They are called *Laws*. You don*t get thrown in jail for breaking rules. Get control of your life or you will end up dead or in jail. See *Dana Plato*.

She is a liar, a borderline personality, a major manipulator, and a failure in life. She keeps making excuses for the ongoing addiction she has. When you see pics of early laughing like a hyena, she's drunk, and not on tea.

By Tommy

If I knew this tea would cause me to show postive for alchol, I wouldn't drink it. She seems to be taunting the legal system and getting away with everything.
