Actress Lindsay Lohan is apologizing for classifying all women involved in the #MeToo movement as "weak" and "attention-seeking," People magazine reports.
"I feel very strongly about the #MeToo movement and have the utmost respect and admiration for the women brave enough to come forward and speak out about their experiences," Lohan said. "Their testimony has served to protect those who can't speak, and give strength to those who have struggled to have their voices heard."
Her comments follow blowback from an interview she gave with the British publication The Times where she was quoted as criticizing "attention seekers."
"I don't really have anything to say," Lohan said when asked about the #MeToo movement. "I can't speak on something I didn't live, right?"
Lohan added she is "very supportive of women" but "can't go along with the 'attention-seekers' or trial by social media," The Times reported.
"If it happens at that moment, you discuss it at that moment," Lohan said.
"You make it a real thing by making it a police report. I'm going to really hate myself for saying this, but I think by women speaking against all these things, it makes them look weak when they are very strong women. You have these girls who come out, who don't even know who they are, who do it for the attention. That is taking away from the fact that it happened."
Lohan made headlines last year when she defended film producer Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women in the movie industry. Lohan made the comments on an Instagram post, but has since deleted it.
