Lindsay Lohan’s Resumé Continues To Defy Reality With New Lawyer.com Gig

I think about Lindsay Lohan a lot. There’s a lot to think about.

There’s Parent Trap LiLo, filled with potentiality. Her Disney-pop based around her allegedly abusive father (Daughter 2 Father, anyone?). The club-days with Britney & Paris. A undeniable spark seen in Mean Girls, all but dimmed by the terribly camp comeback where she played Elizabeth Taylor. The recent nightclub-owning endeavours. That accent. The iconic Oprah interviews. And so on.

All this isn’t to laugh at her life but to appreciate its complex strokes, the ways in which Lindsay is a maelstrom of many societal wrongs regarding fame and women. Are the pressures we put on her to blame? Is reducing her humanity to a fable of celebrity part of the problem? And so down the rabbit hole we go.

We fully support her latest move: becoming the spokesperson for Lawyer.com. Watch the instantly iconic ad below, where LiLo immediately addressed the elephant in the room.

“When Lawyer.com first reached out to me, I was confused – and a little scared, because I thought I was in trouble,” says Lindsay. “But when they asked me to be their spokesperson, I was intrigued.”

Same, Lindsay. Same. She then makes light of her DUI’s, insinuating that Lawyer.com could have helped her fight the charges, which is a little on-the-nose but whatever. There’s even the trademark LiLo wink at the end.

All in all, I’m extremely #TeamLindsay, so I support this because she got paid.

It’s also a masterful marketing move. Think: who, in aide of legal help, would type in ‘Lawyer dot com’ into their search bar? The same people who, upon reaching the site, would faintly remember hearing about the site from somewhere or someone.

“Who was it again?”, they’d ask, racking their brain, before deciding it must have been their uncle after he got off on those grand theft auto charges last Spring. But no, it was LiLo. It was Lindsay all along.

You can also catch her in Sick Note, a British drama with Rupert Grint, later this year.
