Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to weird behaviour online but that doesn’t make it any less confusing when she shares some new spicy content. In a hot minute, Lindsay has gone from bitter bitchiness directed at Zendaya to making absolutely zero sense in a confused post about Marvel and the Met Gala on Instagram.
It’s very possible that the underlying motivation to all of this is Lindsay’s highly public thirst for the role of Ariel in a Disney Little Mermaid live-action remake. That’s my theory so let’s see if it checks out.
In her most recent Instagram post, Lindsay posted a picture of herself alongside a picture of Ariel, clearly wanting to show off a resemblance. The confusion comes in with the caption,
“Who knew that the #metgala would become a @marvel moment!”
This makes no sense first of all because Lindsay did not go to the Met Gala, due to not being invited since 2007. Secondly because Ariel of The Little Mermaid is not, in fact, a character of the Marvel universe.
One would hope that even Lindsay Lohan is aware that her caption is 100% whack. So maybe she is just capitalising on the popularity of the #metgala and @marvel to try to get her Ariel comparison in front of as many eyes as possible.
Lindsay wants us to start a fan movement backing her as Ariel, and as you can see in the comments section, this post has not succeeded. Big surprise. HUGE.
It doesn’t stop there. Lindsay also posted and deleted an Instagram post hating on Zendaya. She shared a photo of Zendaya in her (epic) Met Gala Cinderella outfit, accusing her of being an inferior copycat version of Claire Danes’ 2016 Met Gala look. She even tagged Claire Danes and Zac Posen in her comments, in a seemingly misguided attempt to garner celebrity support.
“@clairedanes you wore this dress so beautifully, I don’t know why someone thinks that they can be more chic. Ever.” she captioned the image, followed up with,
“Claire Danes did that with @zacposen already”.
This is Claire Dane’s Zac Posen glow-in-the-dark dress for the ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology’ 2016 Met Gala. It’s clearly very different to Zendaya’s, and Lindsay’s hate is clearly very random.
Or is it? Rumours have been swirling for a long while that Zendaya is being cast to play Disney’s live-action Ariel. Although Zendaya swears they’re only rumours, you can see how this could be motivation for Lindsay to want to take down her competition.
So either Lindsay Lohan is making no sense on Instagram, or she is attempting a bootleg campaign to get the role she wants but will never, ever get. Either way, it’s probably best she log off.
