Lindsay Lohan felt “upset and uncomfortable” after chat show host Jonathan Ross quizzed the actress about her time in jail.
The Mean Girls star’s team have reportedly asked ITV bosses to cut the section of their interview in which Jonathan, 53, asked Lindsay how long she spent behind bars.
responding to his question, the 28-year-old actress replied: “I have no idea. I’ve blocked that part out. That’s in the past. OK. You are not putting this on the show.”
Jonathan later reflected: “Well, it’s been lovely, occasionally tense, having you here. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I was just going on about the same subject, which is why you, understandably, got a little defensive.”
However, show insiders have since dismissed the suggestion that Lindsay was left feeling uncomfortable by Jonathan’s questions.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “She seemed totally happy throughout. In fact, she seemed more than willing to talk about her time in prison as a whole and actually volunteered this information.”
“Jonathan got some brilliant answers and acted professionally throughout. He did a great job, so we are totally bemused as to where this upset has suddenly come from days later.”
Since 2010, Lindsay has been imprisoned for a number of offences, including the theft of a necklace, but was released prematurely due to prison overcrowding and was instead put under house arrest.
The interview aired on ITV on Saturday morning.
