“I think Georgina needs to take a stand and be there for her husband,” Lohan said of Weinstein’s wife, who has said she is leaving her husband after what she calls his “unforgivable actions.”

“He’s never harmed me or did anything to me. We’ve done several movies together,” she continued. “I think everyone needs to stop. I think it’s wrong. So, stand up.”

The 31-year-old actress appeared in Bobby and Scary Movie 5, both of which Weinstein produced.

Many on Twitter slammed Lohan’s defence of Weinstein.
