Oh Lindsay. 。
Alone in what looks to be a Dubai hotel room, the child actress-turned-spokeswoman shared some "exciting news" in a video posted to Twitter and Instagram Stories Sunday afternoon. 。
"Harvard Law has asked me to speak at their graduation commencement ceremony. And I'm really really honored and I couldn't be happier," she says in the video. "My work with Lawyer.com has finally paid off. Who needs Hollywood when you have—Harvard Law!"。"。
Lindsay then posts pictures of letters/emails addressed from Cambridge and Oxford asking her to also be a guest speaker. 。

She really expects us to believe her 13 days as a spokeswoman for Lawyer.com landed her speaking gigs at three different institutions?
Not to mention the actual text of the letters she posted to her story following the video, which。 Jezebel 。has already determined as fishy, have multiple typos and truly ludicrous sentences like "Your later, more gritty work in cinematic projects such as。 Liz and Dick 。and。 The Canyons 。highlighted your sheer versatility as an actress." 。
Thanks for signing up!。
(As someone who has regretfully seen both of those films, I can attest they do not in any way highlight Lindsay's "sheer versatility as an actress.") 。 It。 It。
must 。
be an April Fools' prank right? It was Sunday after all. Lindsay is known for her self-deprecating jokes, particularly those involving her work as a child actress and her subsequent work as a child actress-gone-wild. She even quips about her past DUIs in her promotional video for Lawyer.com.。
However, going through the trouble of faking multiple letters and emails, earnestly posting it to multiple social media, and even buying a hoodie with "HARVARD" stamped across it feels extreme for an April Fools' joke. Especially a joke made by Lindsay Lohan, who has posted weirder, yet still sincere, shit on social media including a suggestion for Trump to meet up with her in Asia and a casual birthday invite to Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Beyoncé. 。
Tweet may have been deleted。 While it does seem too bizarre to be true, the email accounts and other contact information listed in the screenshots appears to be accurate with the current listed officers of both student-run organizations for Cambridge and Oxford.。This means it's possible that multiple esteemed universities colluded together to prank Lindsay on April Fools' Day by "inviting" her to visit campus as a guest speaker. Of course we, and the rest of the internet, are assuming this whole thing is a prank 。
somehow。 somehow。.。
So far none of the institutions have written back when asked to comment, but earlier today Harvard reportedly told 。
Yet despite this statement, rewatching the video posted by Lindsay leaves me just as bewildered and disoriented as it did the first time. 。
