The world of partially uncorroborated celebrity coat-theft accusations has just got a whole lot hotter, and it’s all thanks to Lindsay Lohan.
According to a woman by the name of Masha Markova, Lindsay Lohan stole and was photographed wearing an $11,000 fur coat of hers in January, and it was only returned three months later after Masha started threatening everyone with lawsuits. And now Masha Markova is chasing Lindsay Lohan for a $10,000 ‘rental fee’.
There’s been no official word from Lindsay Lohan about these accusations yet, but that’s probably just because she’s ashamed of herself. If the claims are true, you see, it means that Lindsay’s just been outwitted by a woman who leaves $11,000 fur coats lying around in bars. Nice one, shithead.
Lindsay Lohan has done some terrible things in the past involving drink driving and drug addiction and public nudity, but she’s never stooped to the depravity of stealing some woman’s coat and then giving it back a few months later. Well, actually, that’s not strictly true – Lindsay Lohan may have slept with one of McFly once, and that’s about as depraved as you can get – but still. Pinching a woman’s coat? Tut tut.
That’s the claim, anyway. Masha Markova, whoever she is, is demanding $10,000 from Lindsay Lohan after she apparently swiped Markova’s $11,000 fur coat from New York bar 1 Oak in January and was then photographed wearing it like a kind of grotty ginger Cruella de Vil in a glossy magazine.
Yes, we know this is basically just a retreat of that time at school when you lost your PE shorts and blamed the fat kid, but this is better because a) your shorts weren’t made of ridiculously expensive mink and b) everyone involved in this story is clearly a giant twat. The San Francisco Chronicle picks up the story:
Markova tells the New York Post, “It was my coat. It was no doubt.” Markova instructed her lawyer to threaten to legal action the actress. Soon after, she was contacted by bosses at 1 Oak, who then returned the item, without explanation, smelling of alcohol and cigarette smoke and with a tear in the lining. Although she cannot prove Lohan is responsible for “borrowing” the coat, Markova is demanding a $10,000 fee for the rental. She says, “I don’t see how it could have been an accident.”
So let’s get this straight – a woman left a coat in a bar and then got it back a while later smelling of alcohol and cigarettes. She left the coat in a bar. It smelled of alcohol. Bar. Alcohol. Bar. Alcohol. Nope, we can’t work out this mystery at all.
Anyway, Masha Markova will be lucky to get this $10,000 rental fee from Lindsay Lohan whether she stole the coat or not. Lindsay’s not exactly brimming with work at the moment, and whatever money she has at the moment needs to be kept safe for the next time she gets trashed on booze, crashes a car and spends the best part of a year in rehab.
But that should be the least of Lindsay Lohan’s worries right now – regardless of her involvement in Markova’s accusations, by wearing a fur coat in the first place Lindsay Lohan has marked herself out for some PETA victimisation any day now.
Although, to be fair, Lindsay Lohan has a perfectly valid excuse. Since PETA’s most successful campaign is ‘I’d rather go naked than wear fur’, all it’ll take if for Lindsay Lohan to explain that she’s already tried going naked before but it sort of grossed everyone out so she decided to wear fur instead. It’s watertight.
