Lindsay Lohan’s health insurance collaps, due to she’s not been working in the past year, has prevented her from paying for the psychological counseling ordered as part of her probation, her lawyer revealed in court Thursday.
“Maybe she knows somebody who can help out,” Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said, warning Lohan she had 21 days to sign up for counseling.
Judge Sautner ordered the actress to appear in court Thursday so she could review the actress’ progress on meeting the requirements of her probation for a shoplifting conviction and two older drunk driving convictions.
Lohan, 25, entered a guilty plea in May to stealing a necklace from a Venice, California jewelry story.
While Lohan is in compliance with her community service, fines and shoplifting counseling requirements, but she has not signed up for the court-ordered psychological counseling, the judge said. She could be ordered to jail unless she proves within three weeks that she has found a psychologist, Sautner said.
Group counseling, which probationers attend, is often free or low-cost, but Judge Sautner agreed with Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, that Lohan’s celebrity status makes that unworkable.
“I don’t want group counseling for her,” Sautner said. “She needs one on one counseling.”
Lohan scribbled a note to her lawyer during the hearing saying she believed she could raise the cash soon to enter counseling.
The judge chided Lohan for only completing 33 of the required 480 hours of community service so far. If it’s not finished within a year, she could go to jail, she said.
