By the time “Lindsay” premiered on the OWN network in March 2014, the future wasn’t looking bright. Lindsay Lohan was four days out of a 90-day court-mandated rehab stint when she first sat down with Oprah and began filming. Initially, Lohan looked healthy and happy. However, as the documentary progressed, it became apparent that she was struggling.
Headlines appeared claiming the actor was back out with her old party pals, and Lohan began flaking on filming. She looked glassy-eyed and tired, and her life became increasingly chaotic. Ultimately, Lohan said she couldn’t handle shooting the documentary anymore as maintaining sobriety was her priority. Enter the formidable Oprah. “She doesn’t understand this is your life. Your life,” she says on her way to a showdown with Lohan.

“Life showed up, and it didn’t work out the way you wanted it to,” Oprah told her. “You’re creating the same kind of chaos you’re accustomed to. You’re creating that with everybody else,” she continued. Oprah said she wanted Lohan “to win,” but if she wasn’t ready, she was “really prepared to pack up and leave today.” Oprah told her she had to have “a sense of urgency” about getting her life back on track. Lohan insisted she did, but Oprah wasn’t having it. “If that is the case, then you’re not going to be f***ing up.” Lohan said that’s what she needed to hear. “Then cut the bull**it. You know what to do,” Oprah told her.
