The media reveled in the fact that Lindsay Lohan was in a relationship with a woman. But Lohan gained many observers’ sympathy amid her and Samantha Ronson’s breakup in March 2009, when the actor shared the details of how the British DJ left her. “I had no idea what was going on,” Lohan said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in April 2009. “I just hadn’t seen her in, like, a week. She, like, disappeared.”
As far as Lohan is concerned, there is only one way to break up that is worse than going through a highly publicized romantic split. “When you don’t know you’re breaking up,” she told DeGeneres. “Really weird.” At the time, Lohan still harbored hope she and Ronson could figure things out. “I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens,” she said. “Maybe when we’re fully in the right place. And I love her.”

Just a few weeks before the interview, Lohan’s father celebrated the breakup, telling ABC News the relationship was unhealthy. “Well, thank God … What they had was very toxic. It had become very toxic,” he said. “Lindsay doesn’t need to keep following Samantha around.” In 2012, Lindsay suggested her father knew what he was talking about. “I needed to love myself first before I could be with anyone. And I was going through a lot. Two toxic people cannot be together. End of story,” she said in the 2012 Us Weekly interview.
