Lindsay Lohan on the cover of Paper Magazine (Paper Magazine)
Lindsay Lohan really doesn't want to discuss her past — especially her recent past, in which she live-streamed herself speaking in a bizarre accent and attempting to take children she'd assumed were Syrian refugees away from her parents.
During the incident, which occurred in September, Lohan, 32, followed two children and their parents down the street after they try to avoid her.
"Guys, you’re going the wrong way, my car is here, come ... They're trafficking children, I won't leave until I take you, now I know who you are, don't f—k with me," she told the family while livestreaming the encounter on social media. "You're ruining Arabic culture by doing this. You're taking these children, they want to go."
When she attempted to grab one of the young boy's hands, his mother punched Lohan in the face.
When the "Mean Girls" star was asked about the bizarre video and its aftermath, Lohan told Paper magazine that she "wanted to erase it and throw it in the trash."
She told Paper's interviewer that she'd prefer to speak about that night in person "so you can understand what really happened."
However, Lohan then said she was "too tired to speak" when she was in the Big Apple for Paper's photoshoot.

Her rep later issued an explanation of Lohan's would-be rescue effort in an email, writing, "I read the situation wrong. I've learned from it. And that's all I have to say."
Lohan, who's promoting an upcoming "Vanderpump Rules"-style reality show centering on her Mykonos resort, pontificated about how hard the media has been on her throughout her checkered time in the spotlight.
"I would love to know why I get constantly clobbered in the press," Lohan lamented. "I could do 99 things right and one thing wrong, but it's that one thing that will be focused on. Behind the scenes, I do what I can to be the best version of me, which never gets mentioned. I am also human. I make mistakes. That's all that seems to get reported."

"There's always going to be things that have happened and things people have said in the past that you can't control," she said. "But the past is in the past."
