LOHAN BEACH HOUSE SEASON 1

Lindsay Lohanis opening up about her painful past.

The reveal came during a conversation between the actress and her creative partner/trusted right-hand man, Panos Spentzos, after a disappointing first meeting with theirnew VIP hosts.

“Americans come here and they want to go crazy. Everyone’s going to think that they’re on vacation,” she said. “I didn’t bust my a– for this s— to happen in the wrong way, and have everyone take advantage of me.”

“We have a business to run, so there’s no emotion,” she continued. “The second you become emotional, I’m going to become Putin. I have no emotion when it comes to money and business. I mean, you know me from when I was hit on that beach.”

“She wanted to remember this beach as a very fun place — not what happened to her,” Spentzos added.

The beach incident wasn’t the only time the couple made headlines: Another video from around the same time appeared to show an altercation that led neighbors to call the police after a woman who identified herself as Lohan claimed that a man strangled and“almost killed” her. (No charges were pressed in either case.)

At the time, Lohanopened up about the relationshipin an interview with theMail on Sunday, admitting she “genuinely fell in love with him but he broke my trust and made me feel unsafe.”

“I realize now you can’t stay in a relationship just for love,” she said. “No woman can be hit and stay with that person if that person isn’t prepared to say sorry.”

On the new show, it’s clear Lohan is making a point to distance herself from her past.

“I’ve been working for 28 years in Hollywood. I know the ups and downs of being in the spotlight,” she said. “People judge me every second. … So I disappeared. Now, I want to do things differently. I want to be my own boss.”

“I always love the beauty and serenity I feel when I’m here, so I decided to open Lohan Beach House,” she said. “Mykonos is the place to be. It’s a place for everyone — it’s beautiful, it’s open-minded, and most of all, it’s safe.”
