The Mean Girls star has cashed in with a two-picture deal with the streaming service.
Lindsay went from being America’s sweetheart as a Disney star to experiencing many turbulent years in the public eye – becoming a tabloid regular for her party girl ways.
Throughout 2006 and 2007, Lindsay was often photographed enjoying wild and boozy nights out, with photographers catching her looking bleary eyed while leaving clubs in the early hours on many occasions.
In January 2007, the actress attended a 30-day rehab program, and was arrested for drinking and driving in March, after crashing her Mercedes-Benz into a curb in Beverly Hills, California.
Over the course of the next four years, Lindsay spent more than 250 days in rehab and was arrested 20 different times – including four times for breaking her probation. However, she spent less than two weeks in jail in total, and was put on house arrest for 35 days from all of her legal troubles.
After a string of critically-panned roles, she decided to pursue other endeavors instead. She opened a nightclub in Athens, Greece, in 2016, followed by a successful beach resort on the Greek island Mykonos.
Lindsay decided to give up her life in Hollywood and relocate to Dubai in 2018. The actress also tied the knot with financier Bader Shammas in 2022, and they welcomed their first child together last year.
