Lindsay Lohan’s shocking Instagram live post has people furious

Cape Town – Lindsay Lohan made headlines on Saturday after posting a bizarre video on Instagram, in which she accuses a man and woman of child trafficking.

In the now deleted Instagram live video, LiLo - who, according to TMZ, is in Russia - films herself approaching what appears to be a homeless family of four and offers to book them into a hotel.

“Hey everyone, I just want to show you a family that I met, a Syrian refugee family,” Lindsay says as she approaches them, adding: “Tell me your story so that I can help you. What do you need? Do you want me to give you a hotel?”

After pressuring them to go with her for around six minutes, the family get up and start walking away. Following them, Lindsay then accuses the adult man and woman of child trafficking and insists on taking the two young kids with her.

“Look what's happening. They're trafficking children,” Lindsay cries out as the family walk in the opposite direction of her car. “I won't leave until I take you,” she then says to the kids.

After following the family for a few meters, Lindsay tries to take a child’s hand causing the woman to protest loudly. A brief physical altercation between the woman and Lindsay follows.
