Lindsay Lohan Raged at Co-Star James Deen on Set of 'The Canyons'

Yesterday, we found out that Lindsay Lohan was a bit of a diva on the set of "The Canyons." According to an article in the New York Times, Lohan cried a lot, screamed, and threw tantrums on the regular during the three-week shoot.
Now, thanks to TMZ, we have even more info about her wild and crazy behavior while turning the Bret Easton Ellis book into a film -- the gossip site got hold of a recording that features LiLo dressing down her co-star, porn-star-gone-mainstream James Deen.
In the audio, Lohan can be heard talking with director Paul Schrader during a rehearsal, and being a raging bitch to Deen:
Let's actually do the scene...you're like this, yeah? But you're holding me. No? OK, let's act. I know it's for fun for you, but let's do it.
Schrader then calls action, and Lohan continues her tirade even as Deen proceeds to try to go ahead and act.
Lohan: What's your lines? No, but can you do...please James, say your lines as you're walking over, because we are doing rehearsal with the lines. Are we not? Do your fucking job. Deen: I was until you started talking over over me.
Lohan: I didn't say anything, I just walked over. Do your fucking job.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
