Despite the fact that she got fired, Dina Lohan insists Lindsay Lohan turned down the lead role in Inferno , not the other way around. The reason? She didn’t want to play a porn star drug addict. The producers let her go given her scheduling conflicts (living in rehab indefinitely), but Dina swears it was her call. She just didn’t want the role! Wait, Lindsay Lohan didn’t want to play Linda Lovelace? She’s a natural! “The movie is about a drug addict and porn star. It is hard when you are a serious actor with what she has been through, we don’t need that,” Dina said. Yes, a very serious actor. I Know Who Killed Me? Award-winning stuff. “Lindsay was disappointed but felt it wasn’t right to take that role after what she had been through. She made the ultimate decision,” her mom swears . Although Lindsay won’t be starring as Linda, she will continue to follow her passion for acting and remain in the industry – but only in the right roles. “We are looking at scripts and she’s had a lot of offers. She has two in mind that she likes but we can’t say now what they are,” Dina Lohan teases. “We are doing all we can to take it slow right now.” All kidding aside, Lindsay is finally taking control of her life, taking sobriety seriously and making difficult choices to stay on the path to wellness. The way she turned down Dancing With the Stars was an example of that. She’s not in a rush to get back to work if she isn’t sure she can handle it. We applaud that kind of dedication. But spare us the act, Dina. We realize a movie featuring a coked-up Lindsay Lohan nude may not have been the best comeback project, but she got fired. It’s okay to admit it.
