Lindsay Lohan knew from the moment she starred in “The Parent Trap”<\/a> that she wanted to be an actress, but fame was not something she was prepared for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The “Freakier Friday” star <\/a>was infamously chased and prodded by paparazzi during her teens and early 20s. She was pals with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, who experienced similar treatment from the media in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Due to Lohan’s unique upbringing \u2014 going from child star to years of dodging paparazzi \u2014 the star and her husband, <\/strong>Bader Shammas, decided to raise their son, Luai, in Dubai.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t ever want my family to experience being chased by the paparazzi the way I was. They were terrifying moments I had in my life \u2014 I have PTSD to the extreme from those things,” Lohan recently told The Times.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

LINDSAY LOHAN SHARES STRUGGLES WITH LA AFTER MOVING TO DUBAI TO ESCAPE HOLLYWOOD STRESS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“The most invasive situations. Really scary. And I pray stuff like that never comes back. It\u2019s not safe. It\u2019s not fair,” she added.<\/p>\n

Decades after Lohan spent the majority of her 20s trying to evade paparazzi, she has noticed it’s not as bad for her as it used to be.<\/p>\n

“I feel that it doesn\u2019t happen as badly now as it did. It was way worse when I was younger, but now, because of social media, people can tell their own story in the way that you want it to be told. It has reclaimed the ownership of your life.”<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t have that and so, no, I don\u2019t think anybody chose that life, but what I have learnt over time is how to separate my private life and public life, and that was difficult for me because nobody ever teaches you how to do that,” Lohan told the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lohan made the move to Dubai from Los Angeles in 2014.<\/p>\n

“I lived like that and it\u2019s not who I am. Dubai is a safe place where we can just have a normal life, outside of what I call \u2018the noise\u2019. Where my husband and I can see what is right for our child.<\/a> It\u2019s not about me anymore,” she explained.<\/p>\n

Lohan previously revealed the lack of privacy in LA<\/u><\/a> left her stressed out.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s hard in L.A. Even taking my son to the park in L.A., I get stressed. I\u2019m like, \u2018Are there cameras?\u2019 In New York, there\u2019s no worry; no one bothers us,” the “Mean Girls” star told Elle magazine<\/u><\/a> in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Everyone has their own thing going on. There\u2019s a different kind of energy in New York. I\u2019d rather have downtime in New York than I would in L.A.”<\/p>\n

“But the nice thing about L.A. is, I like space [and you get that here]. But I\u2019m thinking as I\u2019m saying this, the funny thing is, in Dubai I get all of those things. I get the privacy, I get the peace, I get the space. I don\u2019t have to worry there. I feel safe.”<\/p>\n

The “Freaky Friday” star told Bustle<\/a> in 2024 that her childhood was tainted by growing up in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

“I feel like some of [my work] got overshadowed by paparazzi and all that kind of stuff when I was younger, and that\u2019s kind of annoying. I wish that part didn\u2019t happen.”<\/p>\n

“I feel like that kind of took on a life of its own. So that\u2019s why I wanted to disappear. I was like, \u2018Unless there\u2019s\u00a0no\u00a0story here, they\u2019re not going to focus on just my work,'” she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Recently, Lohan was a guest on “LIVE with Kelly and Mark,”<\/a> where she explained she lives a “normal life” in Dubai.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just far away from Hollywood. And I live a very normal life. There\u2019s no worry of like, I can\u2019t go eat at this place because someone\u2019s going to take a picture of my son. It\u2019s just \u2014 I feel very safe.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not legal,” she explained, of paparazzi taking photos. “You can\u2019t even take a picture of someone else if you\u2019re at a restaurant. You have to ask the person. Which is a big difference. The privacy is unique.”<\/p>\n

Since her return to the big screen, Lohan, who stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray in “Freakier Friday,”<\/u><\/a> said she’s found that prioritizing herself makes a huge difference in her overall well-being.<\/p>\n

For Lohan, family is also a priority.<\/p>\n

“I mean, it\u2019s the most important thing: my husband, my son and me,” she told Bustle. “It\u2019s all about balance and, as I said, routine. Especially when you have a kid, routine is the most important thing. And whatever their routine is, I\u2019ve got to live by that.”<\/p>\n
