According to a pal of Semel’s, the 25-year-old is struggling to come to terms with Lohan’s open relationship with British DJ Samantha Ronson, especially since Lindsay went to great lengths to keep their affair a secret from everyone.
“Everyone thinks Samantha is Lindsay’s first lesbian love, but we were very passionate until her fear of being found out drove us apart,” Courtenay allegedly told a friend.
“At the time she was terrified her career would be over if she revealed her sexual tendencies.
“But then Samantha came on to the scene and I was dropped.”
Semel said that when she and Lohan were together, the 22-year-old star of Herbie: Fully Loaded was desperately trying to suppress her lesbian urges, and this oftern involved sleeping with a string of men in order to hide her true sexual orientation from the prying eyes of the press.
As well as her frequent bed-hopping with the opposite sex, Semel claims Lohan resorted to drugs and alcohol to sooth the pressures of her secret double life, eventually leading to an addiction which saw her shipped in and out of the Promises rehab centre.
Courtenay’s friend explained: “[Semel] met Lindsay in the summer of 2006 at a party in Malibu.
“From the start Lindsay was very confused about her feelings for Courtenay so did more and more drugs to stifle the sexual attraction she was experiencing.
“But eventually she just gave in and at every party they’d kiss and touch each other in the corner. It’s a miracle nobody found out.
“Both of them would do lines of cocaine in the toilets then head home and fall into bed together.”
Their on-off relationship lasted for about a year, until Lohan’s current flame, Sam Ronson, came onto the scene.
“Back then Samantha and Lindsay didn’t have a physical relationship,” Courtenay’s friend revealed. “[Lindsay] once said, ‘Samantha’s the father I never had’!
“Apparently Samantha acted in a ‘paternal’ way towards her, giving her advice and cuddles.”
But all that changed during Lindsay’s last stay in Promises. Semel’s pal said that throughout Lohan’s stay, she was dating both Courtenay and Samantha, and telling them both that she loved them. Shortly after her release, she broke it off with Semel to be with Ronson.
The pal continued: “[During her stay in Promises] Lindsay was sending ‘I love you’ notes to Samantha and signing them ‘Lindsay Ronson’ but telling Courtenay she loved her too.”
In fact, less than a week after she and Semel split, Lohan was appearing in public with Ronson, kissing and cuddling as if she didn’t care about what the paparazzi would write the next day.
“Courtenay still can’t understand how Lindsay is now so open with Samantha,” the friend added. “Every time she sees a picture of them together it kills her.”
