Lindsay: My headscarf race ordeal

-

LINDSAY Lohan has claimed she was “racially profiled” while wearing a headscarf at a London airport.

The actress, 30, said she was intimidate­d by the incident as she was preparing to fly from Heathrow to New York recently.

Lindsay ( above), who also revealed that she is “considerin­g” converting to Islam, told Good Morning Britain she removed the headscarf and security officials apologised after realising who she was.

She said she was “scared” for other women who may not feel comfortabl­e removing similar headwear.

The Mean Girls star told the ITV breakfast programme: “I was wearing a headscarf and I got stopped at the airport and racially profiled ... the first time in my life.

“She said, ‘Please take off your headscarf’. I did, I mean it’s okay. But what scared me was how would another woman who doesn’t feel comfortabl­e taking off her headscarf feel?” IN a game of football in 1280, a player was killed after running into another player’s dagger.
