Troubled star Lindsay Lohan recently claimed in court she could not afford counselling despite earning millions acting in Hollywood. Now it seems the convicted thief's money woes are worse than anyone suspected, as she is facing another legal battle after being sued by a sound system specialist over an unpaid bill. Lohan was ridiculed for claiming she had been unable to find a psychiatrist for financial reasons after attending a probation hearing in Los Angeles in $1,200 designer shoes last week.
Now Stephen Clark is claiming he is owed money after selling her speakers, and installing audio and video equipment at her house in Venice Beach, California. He is demanding $1,180 in his small claims court lawsuit for the equipment and work he missed out on. The only small crumb of comfort for the Herbie: Fully Loaded star is the fact she cannot end up back in jail, as it is a civil court claim.
According to TMZ, Clark alleges he installed the equipment in June, while she was under house arrest. The Daily Mail contacted Lohan’s representatives, but no one was available for comment.
Last week Judge Stephanie Sautner demanded proof the Mean Girls star was seeing a psychiatrist as required as part of her probation. However her lawyer Shaun Chapman Holley said she and her client had been unable to find one for financial reasons.
And she said putting her in group therapy would be unfair on the star, who pleaded no contest to claims she stole a $2,500 necklace from a store in Venice Beach. Ms Holley said: 'Ms Lohan cannot be in group therapy because of the publicity it would attract and the paparazzi. In another clear sign the 25-year-old's career is in serious trouble, her lawyer also revealed the actress' Screen Actors Guild coverage has lapsed due to lack of work, which meant that she had no health insurance.
Judge Sautner agreed that Lohan was not suitable for group counselling in case someone tried to sell information about her so gave her 21 days to find an appropriate one-on-one therapist and suggested she get a loan. The star, who has recently completed a month of house arrest, appeared before the courts to ensure she had provided proof of community service enrolment and proof she had started a shop lifting 'alternative course'.
Lohan must comply with the above orders as part of her punishment after being convicted of drink driving and theft. udge Sautner was not pleased she had completed just 33 hours of 480 hours of community service at the Downtown LA's Women's Centre and at a morgue.
