Lindsay Lohan offered new fur coat
May 21, 2008 by Arieanna
In light of the very ridiculous lawsuit that Masha Markova has filed against Lindsay Lohan for the temporarily lost mink coat, a club owner has decided to come to Lindsay’s rescue and offer to settle the whole mess.
Though I’m sure Lindsay’s people would be ok settling the issue, the New York nightclub owner John Englebert, who owns Prime nightclub and Suzie Wong Sake Lounge, has offered to buy Lindsay a new blonde mink coat (the one she may have accidentally taken) as well as to settle the lawsuit being waged against her.
“Lindsay has always been a fixture and a party girl in his establishments and [John] does not want her to catch a cold in this frigid start to the summer,” a spokesperson for Engelbert said
Englebert thinks the whole issue is silly and wants Lindsay to get something out of it. So, he wants to take her on a shopping spree to buy a new mink coat of her choice. That said, I am not sure Lindsay is even wearing fur anymore, so it may be a mute point.
What do you think? A very generous offer, or just making more media attention to a silly issue?

“Moot point”
I’m not sure how I like the phrase “fixture and a party girl.” I would rather the club owner had referred to her as something that did not make Lindsay sound like the same party girl she’d been. “Valued and respected patron” works.
But my nitpicks aside, it is nice someone stepped in to help Lindsay with this idiotic lawsuit. So, kudos to John Englebert for that.
yeah the “fixture & party girl” stuck out like a big of a dig to me too! This whole thing is another anti LL fiasco, please die down already!
Hold on a second. How many people would “accidentally” mistake a mink fur coat for a regular jacket? I’m sorry, but if any regular person had made this “mistake” it would have been grand larceny charges on their heads. LL is actually getting of the hook very lightly for this and should be thankful. Seriously, do YOU think YOU would accidentally mistake a mink fur for a non-fur jacket? AND then later wear the jacket in public? Wouldn’t you realize that a mink fur that suddenly appears in your closet does not belong to you? That’s really screwed up…don’t defend her just because she is Londsay Lohan. Hopefully YOU are not that stupid.
i think the owner’s intentions are kind. he just wanna end the wars,.
and to skipp, accidents happen. and by the way that you speak, it seems like you don’t really know what EXACTLY happened. go read the story first before you judge the cover.
The thing is nobody really knows what happened. Some reports say Masha is a model others say she’s a college student. Who really knows. The story doesn’t make any sense. I think it was blown way out of proportion.
Out of proportion indeed, I agree, and my original comment on this subject still stands, WHO in their right minds leaves a FUR coat valued at $ 11,000.00 dollars, in a COMMON BIN !!! A single sloppy ballpoint pen would ruin the whole thing, or a studded coat underneath it could rip the lining, cigarette smoke from other stained coats laid on it could embed in the fibers, perfumes, and deoderants, and of course THIEVES, who could look into the ” Bin ” and see a fabulous MINK ( rare ) Blonde COAT ! available to steal!! WHAT AN IDIOT !!@!! Yeesh ! If I was wearing a MINK COAT to an important affair, and I did not have a proper coat check person to leave it with, It would not leave my person ! That would be like leaving a louie vuitton handbag in the coat rack at shoney’s, you KNOW it would be G#O#N#E before you could be seated and open your menu. MASHA should be scolded thuroughly by the COURTS She has listed the law suit with, for negligence, and the case laughed out of the hall. And She got her COAT back, with no real struggle to obtain same. So ……I smell dead rats here. Dead odiferous Rats, sprayed with skunk perfume, and left to rot a loooooong time.
GOD Bless You Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn. P.S. If I had the money, I would just BUY You a new Mink Coat, and send it to You through Your lawyer, Blair Berk, as a gift, anonamously.
Liz, I read the article AND about 20 others including one where, in November of ‘07, LL said she was not going to be wearing furs again (partially due to pressure from PETA) so that actually makes her case even worse.
Larry, trying to deflect the blame on the owner of the coat is ridiculous. I agree that what she did was not the brightest thing, but saying that the owner was at fault because of where she laid her coat is like saying a woman is at fault for being raped because of the cloths she was wearing. Please think about this without letting emotions get into it…Lindsay Lohan grabbed a coat, which was obviously not hers, and then later wore it AGAIN! As I said earlier, if it were some common person who did this, they would be charged with grand larceny in any state if the US. The question is what makes LL so special that she gets special treatment?
Hey, I think LL is very attractive and a very talented actress who has made some mistakes but she screwed up here and needs to take responsibility for her actions. Protecting her and saying she did nothing wrong and it was somebody else’s fault does her no good at all…in fact it may encourage the behavior. I would like to see LL grow old gracefully, not end up dead like Dana Plato or many other young stars because they never would take responsibility for their actions.
Obviously he doesn’t want to lose a star client. A lot of money can be made at Hollywood “hot spots” because the presence of celebrities makes those places even more popular and notorious.
look at it this way,if LL accepts the club owners offer,she gets out of a ‘legal jam’,whether she took it or not,and the club owner gets a promotion appearence out of it,since Lindsay will be in NYC in june/july to film her other episodes for ‘ugly betty’.in case you guys don’t know,ABC is moving the ‘ugly betty’ set and production to NYC to cut costs,and the fall 08 season starts shooting on june 30.i think it is a smart offer on the part of the club owner,and her legal costs and the new fur coat ,are way worth the publicity and sales that a LL appearence would bring,and ronson would probably deejay,lol.
anyway,i still think it is all a lie,as i saw the tmz video that proves ‘masha borat’ is lying,but maybe Lindsay should take the deal,donate the fur to charity,and make the club appearence,support her home states economy,support the local dj,heck,she could deejay it herself.go,Lindsay,go!!!peace
The bottom line is that nobody knows what really happened. There are two sides to every story. Lindsay hasn’t commented on this matter and that leaves room for people to speculate.
It’s a classic case of misunderstanding and miscommunication. The owner was nice to step in and lend a hand.
Amen to THAT Jaine ! ! And to Skipp, I am NOT excusing Lindsay’s behavior in this case, IF she actually DID pick up Masha’s coat, was it knowingly, or was it not ? If She did not walk INTO 1Oak wearing a Mink, but Walked OUT wearing one, was it klepto, was it theft, was she in fact drunk and picked up a wrong coat, What happened, how did She end up with that wrap, and I think BOTH GIRLS ARE EQUALLY TO BLAME IN THIS CASE ! As with some auto accidents, that aren’t really, just negligence on the part of the driver of one car or the other, if 50 percent blame can be attached to both drivers, then the Insurance company’s of both may refuse claim, because both were equally at fault, I think this is an extremely rare case of BOTH AT FAULT, not excusing Lindsay, BUT I will NOT EXCUSE MASHA EITHER ! AND I might point out that Lindsay DID return the coat, upon request to do so voluntarily, without having to be supenaed to do so. NOW the Problem is of course the value of the Coat in question, this muddles the water some. If it had been simply a leather jacket, value 50.00 dollars American, no one would have made any fuss over it at all, coat returned, not even noteworthy, but we all attach much more significance to an 11,000.00 coat, because that is valued and is in the eyes of the law, theft and grand larceny, or is it. Let us say someone borrowed your 11,000.00 dollar car, because you left the keys in it, and the motor running, YOU would be held responsible if it was an underage child who did same, if the child got hurt in the process, because we have made very strict laws about responsible behavior of an adult where motor vehicules are concerned, but that same person is not a child but an adult, YOU would be scolded by the court for irresponsibly leaving the motor running, the door unlocked inviting theft, and the car would then be considered stolen, and the thief would go to jail. If an 11,000.00 dollar Mink coat has a motor, I’d like to see it. Lets say that You are a Shop owner, and You have an 11,000.00 dollar Mink coat in your store for sale, and someone walks out with it, without paying for it, THAT is grand theft, and larceny and a whole host of charges apply to the person who commits the theft. Lets say you sell the coat, and the person who buy’s it, takes it and leaves it unattended in a coat rack at McDonalds, and someone walks out with it. THAT is irresponsible abandonment of a valuable article by an owner, who should have the right to have his property returned to him, if he can find it, or the person who has it. Charges in this last case, well that is a HUGE Gray area…….and that is precisely what we have here. Both are equally at fault. So the Coat in question gets returned to it’s rightfull owner, and said Owner is justifiably outraged at the takers taking, but should also be 50 % at fault for leaving the stupid thing lying around where it could be ” Borrowed “. Nuff Said. I mean…a common BIN ! Like a P I L E of coats ! My G. ! Her Grandmom if still alive, should instantly demand the return of the Coat to Grandma ! Just for Masha’s Irresponsible act in the first place. And IF Lindsay took the coat, knowing it wasn’t hers, She should be Scolded, and given a warning, afterall She did return the clothing Item upon request. Blair should take Lindsay aside, and give her a stern talking to. So should the Judge in this case if it ever goes to court, which it probably won’t.
GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.
P.S. If Lindsay DID take that coat knowing it wasn’t HERS !?!?! I my Self, even though I am in Love with Her, to put it into the common vernacular, would take HER aside at the earliest convience and give HER that same talking to. You better believe it.
