Lindsay Lohan ‘sued by HarperCollins for failing to write a book’… after they paid her $365K advance for tell-all memoir that never materialized
Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being sued by publishing company HarperCollins for failing to write a book after she was paid an advance.

In legal documents filed by the publishing house, it claims Lohan was given a revised date on March 2017, and they paid her an advance of $365k against future royalties, TMZ reports.

InTouch weekly had published a hand-written list of famous men that Lohan allegedly slept with, and referring to the photo she said: ‘That was actually my fifth step in AA at Betty Ford.’
