Lindsay Lohan was in France this past Saturday supporting her girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson, when an anti-fur activist doused the actress with a bag of flour in front of dozens of onlookers. Lohan, who repeatedly wore an anti-fur pin and has publicly denounced the use of fur, was reportedly mortified and angered by the attack as she made her way into the Champs-Elysees. Lohan's fur wearing tendencies were first brought into the spotlight when she allegedly stole a woman's fur coat (worth $11,000) at a New York club in May.
When asked why she threw the bag of flour at Lohan, the fur activist responded with, "she's a fur hag! she wears real fur!" Although many online sources claim that the activist is linked with PETA, the organization has not taken responsibility for Saturdays incident. PETA did, however, issue this statement regarding Lohan:
”Lohan has enraged animal lovers by appearing in at least two different fur coats in recent days, despite PETA’s repeated pleas that she consider how animals suffer for every fur garment and stop wearing their skins She was named on PETA’s annual Worst Dressed List earlier this year”
Robbie LeBlanc, who works for PETA Europe, issued this statement as well:
”There is nothing remotely fashionable about the torture and death of animals killed for fur. Lindsay Lohan might be able to ignore images of bloody animals skinned alive for their pelts, but we hope a dash of flour will help her rise to the occasion and forsake fur once and for all”
Lohan's girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, blogged about the incident on her MySpace blog, saying:
"It's a pity that some groups feel the need to assault people as opposed to fighting with words, Whenever I feel the need to vent about something that feels unfair to me I reach for my computer, I don't run out of the house with abusive intentions. I don't expect everyone to react the same way, but I do expect people to respect each other."
Here's a couple pictures as well as a video from the incident:
