Lindsay Lohan Apologises For Commenting About #Metoo Movement

Actor Lindsay Lohan, who had said that women look weak by speaking out about sexual misconduct, has apologised now. The actress feels sorry for her comments about #MeToo movement. The 32-year-old actor said she is apologising because she understands how her statements may have caused hurt.

"I would like to unreservedly apologize for any hurt and distress caused by a quote in a recent interview," Lohan said. "The quote solely related to my hope that a handful of false testimonies out of a tsunami of heroic voices do not serve to dilute the importance of the #MeToo movement, and all of us who champion it. However, I have since learned how statements like mine are seen as hurtful, which was never my intent. I'm sorry for any pain I may have caused," she added.

The actor said she had the utmost respect and admiration for women who opens about facing harassment. Earlier in an interview, Lohan had termed those who spoke out as "attention seekers". "If it happens at that moment, you discuss it 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 these things, it makes them look weak when they are very strong women," the actress said.
