Lindsay Lohan's Publicist Steve Honig Quits Amid Endless String of LiLo Debacles

loh

Even loyal supporters have their breaking point.


And Lindsay Lohan's besieged publicist, apparently, has finally reached his.


Steve Honig, who's steered his beleaguered client through one scandal after another after another, has quit as LiLo's trusty flack, E! News has exclusively learned.


"He's resigned as Lindsay's publicist Wednesday night," a source tells E! News exclusively.


Honig, however, declined to elaborate on why he's decided throw in the towel, telling E! News, "I'm not discussing this out of respect for my client."


No doubt the publicist, who's been employed by LiLo for about a year and a half, has had his work cut out for him. During his time under LiLo's dime, he's racked up enough crisis-management victories to fill up a bushel's worth of resumes.


Let us try to count the ways, shall we? (Bear with us if we miss something here.)


Under Honig's watch, the star passed out in a hotel room, landed in the hospital after a frightening car crash, allegedly trashed her trailer, got tangled up in a jewelry heist, was reportedly banned from a hotel for unpaid bills, got arrested for an alleged hit-and-run, was embroiled in a 911-worthy spat with mom Dina Lohan, unleashed a war of words with pop Michael Lohan and, most recently, was faced with a failed intervention attempt by Michael, supposedly with the support of her handlers.

Good luck to LiLo's next flack.

the auto biography she will pay someone to write will be an interesting read

how many publicists is this now?

Can't believe he lasted as long as he did.
twowaymirrrors 25th-Oct-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
I'm surprised it took him that long tbh
lovedforaday 25th-Oct-2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
I can't see how anyone could stand to work for her honestly.
false_hate 25th-Oct-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
It has to be a frustrating job, dealing with young Hollywood.
ayajedi 25th-Oct-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
I wonder what drugs she is on these days?
celtic_thistle 25th-Oct-2012 09:11 pm (UTC)
My bet is meth/coke/Adderall/booze.
dasvedanyaanya 26th-Oct-2012 01:52 am (UTC)
I feel like it would be pointless to take Adderall if you're taking meth and coke but I don't exactly no a lot about addiction.
flying_pandas 26th-Oct-2012 03:11 pm (UTC)
I feel like she'd look a helluvalot worse than she does if she were doing meth on the regular
lalameanslove 25th-Oct-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
she's done everything. right now though? idk probably just coke
bradentastic 25th-Oct-2012 09:34 pm (UTC)
my bet is prescription. possibly coke but she's seemed to be on decent behavior on-set so it can't be anything THAT hard.

Ralph Garman said she drinks a handle + of vodka every day
bollyhood 25th-Oct-2012 10:49 pm (UTC)
Stimulants during the day and benzos during the night. She was fucking around with Dilaudid a while back so she's on some heavy shit.

And the year isn't even over yet...
miriamele 25th-Oct-2012 09:08 pm (UTC)
Couldn't pay me enough, tbh.
noneformethanx 25th-Oct-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
I wonder how much her criminal lawyer makes from her alone
miriamele 25th-Oct-2012 09:38 pm (UTC)
Well, being her criminal lawyer wouldn't bother me so much. I mean, at least you get paid when you lose.
celtic_thistle 25th-Oct-2012 09:11 pm (UTC)
lol let's see if anyone will actually step up to be her next publicist. She goes through them like socks.
evil_mom 26th-Oct-2012 12:15 am (UTC)
or leggings, rather
letsallchant 25th-Oct-2012 10:03 pm (UTC)
lol, even Gilbert Gottfried's publicist wants nothing to do with her. This is a new low.

i don't understand why she keeps doing this stuff to herself. i sympathize in regards to her messed up family life because they had serious issues before lindsay was famous but why doesn't she just stay inside? or just not drink? or go to bed early when she has work in the morning? i can't wrap my mind around it tbqh. she hurts herself the most and blames everyone else. :(
kapuki234 25th-Oct-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
Not to mention her stealing an entire wardrobe of clothing from the scary movie 5 set
klassylassy 25th-Oct-2012 09:43 pm (UTC)
Really?? I didn't hear about this one, this girl is a mess
celtic_thistle 25th-Oct-2012 09:46 pm (UTC)
Yup, $15k worth. smh.
idgi 25th-Oct-2012 10:04 pm (UTC)
didn't she steal some dior clothes or jewelry one time too? not the necklace heist.
bigbranch 25th-Oct-2012 09:16 pm (UTC)
