Lohan’s Publicist Hits Back At Tribute Letter Critics

Lindsay Lohan’s publicist Leslie Sloane fired back at the media Thursday, saying journalists, including Andrew Gumbel of The Independent and Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrison had crossed a line by mocking a heartfelt letter the actress wrote following director Robert Altman’s death last week. “When I got the reports that he had died, I reached Lindsay on her cell phone, and she had no idea. She was devastated. She started crying,” Sloane explained to Reuters. “She quickly put something together on her Blackberry. Here was a girl who found something special in this man that she felt so close to. And she was completely shocked and blown away that he just died. It was written very quickly and it was from the heart.”
