'Insulting' Lindsay Lohan owes me £3,000, says ex-PA: Actress faces legal action over unpaid wages

As actress Lindsay Lohan soaked up the sun on a yacht off the Greek island of Mykonos last week, the prospect of appearing in a dusty courtroom seemed like the last thing on her mind.

But The Mail on Sunday can reveal the Hollywood star faces fresh humiliation after a legal bid was launched to claim £3,300 which is owed in unpaid wages to her former personal assistant.

Miss Lohan is off probation for the first time in nearly eight years after a string of convictions for theft and reckless driving. She has been jailed five times and has made about 20 court appearances.

Bring some colour to the night with Lindsay's Blumarine dress

LiLo has become accustomed to London dressing ever since settling in the chilly town from across the pond. So she knows all about the beauty of long sleeves.

The Hollywood actress stunned in her vivid multi-colored dress from Blumarine’s autumn/winter 2015 collection, and the thigh-skimming hemline made up for concealing her upper half.

Lindsay isn't one to shy away from vibrant colors and prints, and recently wore a Stella McCartney planet printed trench coat on a recent night out which also grabbed our attention.

Sadly, this gorgeous embroidered dress is not available to buy just yet, but you can emulate Lindsay's vibe by checking out the fashion edit below.

Nasty Gal has some smashing options in particular which we'd pair with platform black sandals and a slick of pink lippie.

It was thought that she had put her wild antics behind her, but last week Jesse Peckham, who worked for Miss Lohan in London last autumn, is a witness in the case at the Central London County Court, arguing that he had not been paid.

Mr Peckham was hired by a recruitment firm to work as Miss Lohan’s personal assistant for three months from September while she made her West End debut in David Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow. 

The case is expected to revolve around claims of Miss Lohan’s bizarre mood swings and ‘insane’ demands, which meant Mr Peckham was forced to resign two months into the contract – for which he has never been paid. 

Mr Peckham is understood to claim in court papers that the 29-year-old actress also insulted him.

Sorted Personal Management, the company that hired Mr Peckham on Miss Lohan’s behalf, accuses her British publicist Beth Morris of failing to pay the £3,300 bill for his services.

Mr Peckham, who is set to be a key witness in the case, is understood to claim that he walked out on Miss Lohan because of her behaviour.

Two months ago, Miss Lohan said of her new life in London: ‘I’m in a really good place. I’m blessed to have been able to do a play in London and start a different way of life. 

'You grow up and you change, and I’m really happy about that, as overall I feel a lot better. Moving here was a new start for me.’ It is not clear if she will be called as a witness when the case comes to court.

Mr Peckham is understood to claim in his statement that he told Miss Morris that he would not tolerate any illegal behaviour and that he had been warned about Miss Lohan’s difficult reputation.

More damningly, it is thought that Mr Peckham claims that Miss Morris and Miss Lohan were hiring people they knew they couldn’t afford to pay.

Miss Morris told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It will be more appropriate for me to consider comment at the close of proceedings. In respect of my client, Lindsay Lohan, her position is that the allegations… are wholly untrue.’

Mr Peckham refused to comment last night.
