Recap & Rebuttal: Lindsay Lohan’s Unprofessional Antics Wreak Havoc With ‘Elle’ Staffers, While Her Father Michael Denies Shocking Drug Claims Made In Episode

Although Lohan eventually completed the fashion shoot for the March 2014 magazine cover, the star’s tardiness proved to be a trying ordeal for the crew. And the episode also recorded her being late for a party she was paid to attend, watching a male friend bizarrely get his ear pierced with a knife, and going into a crying jag while filming herself for the documentary.

On the episode, viewers saw celebrity photographer Eric Silverberg, Elle Indonesia fashion editor Anindita Saryuf, and an entire glam squad wait anxiously for Lohan so the shoot could begin at a New York location house.

After calming down, however, the editor agreed with Lohan’s rep that they would do it the next day. But the badly-inconvenienced editor sighed on camera, “It’s two days flight here. I have to call my boss and let her know.”

She added incredulously about Lohan, “And she wants a comeback?”

Lohan later explained to the cameras that she was a night person because of her chaotic upbringing, and she always reverted back to that schedule.

Turning on the cameras to record her own footage, Lohan said she missed her alone time with candles and complained, “I’m starting to get tired again.”

But Lohan was apparently also playing with pals instead of going to her fashion shoot! She filmed scenes of her friends dancing in her apartment and commented that it was okay if her friends had a glass of wine in front of her. The just-rehabbed star also claimed she was fine to go out to nightclubs because she liked to dance and didn’t need to drink anymore to have a good time.

Later, Lohan filmed four Russian friends playing a game of “dare” in her apartment, in which a young shirtless man decided to get one of his ears painfully pierced with a knife.

The next day, Lohan finally showed up on time to the apartment in Soho where the fashion shoot was taking place. She laughed about her Russian friend getting his ear pierced with a knife and even showed off pictures of the incident to her makeup artist.

Lohan claimed to OWN that she was doing the shoot just for exposure, not for money.

“It’s very easy work,” she said.

But Lohan also complained she felt rushed and was bugged that photographer Silverberg was using natural light on a rainy day near the window while fans were taking photos from the street.

“It was a bit uncomfortable,” she recalled to the cameras afterwards.

During the shoot, after five wardrobe changes, there wasn’t enough natural light left for photos. After Lohan dissed the photographer to her team, she agreed to Silverberg shooting her outside on the street.

But Lohan went ballistic when a paparazzi appeared out of nowhere and took video of her poses.

“Take the f*cking camera,” Lohan ordered assistant Harrell as she leaped into the SUV to go to another location.

Lohan begged her driver to run a red light to escape the pap while Harrell offered the photographer a thousand bucks for his shots. But the paparazzi said, “I’m gonna put it on the news, right now, tonight” and left.

A third day was added to the photo shoot schedule, this time at Lohan’s apartment, where once again the crew waited around for the star to be primped while the natural light diminished. By the time Lohan was ready, Silverberg had to rely on lights provided by the OWN crew to get the job done.

Later, Lohan dissed Silverberg’s methods while fashion editor Saryut sighed, “She started late so everything has to be changed. We have to think of Plan B which is using light, so it’s not as smooth as I want it to be.”

Because Lohan hadn’t shown up for the first day, the magazine team had to return all the clothes to the designer; so the actress wore her own clothes for the photos.

“If I could list all the shoots that I should get credit for as ‘Co-stylist’ it would be a full novel,” Lohan boasted to the cameras.

But apparently she wasn’t as interested in helping Saryut complete her job as Lohan announced she was leaving when the photos were done — even though the editor needed to do an interview!

As her Russian pals showed up at the apartment, Lohan told assistant Harrell, “Not tonight,” regarding the interview.

Saryut told the cameras, “If she wants to continue her career in this industry, she has to change. I wouldn’t give her any advice because it’s her life and I’m not close to her, but I will give advice to my daughter: ‘Never waste your life.’ ”

Meanwhile, Silverberg just laughed to OWN cameras when asked what it was like to work with Lohan!

After the shoot, Mackenzie Knight, who claimed he was part of Lohan’s crew of sober friends, prepared to go out with the star and admitted, although he was sober for three years, “I had a drink here or there. I haven’t been a model AA member.”

But that wasn’t all that was bizarre about the episode as Sunday’s show began with Lohan smoking a cigarette while sitting cross-legged on the floor, looking hard into the camera, and then starting to cry as she filmed herself for the docu-series.

Michael denied his daughter’s proclamation speaking exclusively with Radar, telling us he had no idea why she said it, and suggesting that Dina likely kept claiming it happened and eventually, “Lindsay believed it.

“I would never do drugs front of my children — never. Like I said, a lot of things were said and told to the kids that weren't true. The only time I ever, ever, ever did drugs or drank was when I was separated from Dina; I don't think my kids ever even saw me have a drink in front of them."
