Lindsay Lohan’s life has been filled with high highs and low lows. Today, the 30-year-old sometime actress hit a new low with disturbing video footage allegedly showing her accusing her fiancé, Egor Tarabasov, of domestic abuse.
After taking to Instagram over the weekend to publicly bash the Russian millionaire, 22, for not coming home after a late night of partying (with a “Russian hooker”) — and then hinting on Twitter that she might be pregnant — things apparently escalated when Tarabasov finally returned to their abode. A neighbor who lives across the street from them in the Knightsbridge section of London captured three-minutes of footage from a fight the two appeared to have on their balcony, during which the Mean Girls star claimed Tarabasov tried to strangle her and pleaded — to anyone who would listen — for help.
A police spokesperson told the Sun, the outlet that obtained the video, they were “called to an address in Knightsbridge” on Saturday at 5:10 a.m. “following a report of a woman in distress.” However, after they “forced entry into the address,” “there was no one inside.” Inquiries were made into the safety of the residents, who were “found to be safe and well.”

Earlier this month, as Lohan turned 30 during a flashy celebration in which Tarabasov played a prominent role, we noted that the trouble star seemed “happier than ever” as she reached her milestone birthday. Finally, her personal life seemed in order — and even her parents, who had long been feuding (and have their own history of domestic violence allegations), were getting along. But that happiness didn’t last. Here’s how her romance went from promising to seemingly perilous. …
Summer 2015: London transplant Lohan meets Tarabasov, who’s reportedly living and working in the same city. Although he’s young, he’s a rich jet-setter (thanks, Dad!) — and apparently the perfect match for LiLo, who hasn’t had a high-profile public romance since she dated deejay Samantha Ronson.

March 10, 2016: Lohan confirms that she’s been dating the Russian business mogul for seven months. “He is a great guy,” she tells the Sun. “I met him in the summer. I’m really happy.“
March 22: They move in together. She posts an Instagram pic of Tarabasov wrestling with hangers as he helps organize her closet. A source told People, “She says she’s cooking and at home. [She] goes to Monaco on the weekends and sits on yachts.”

April 12: Lohan denies reports that she’s engaged. That very night, she wears a gigantic ring onstage to a Duran Duran concert with Tarabasov in Brooklyn. A source tells Us Weekly, “It was a big proposal, but it wasn’t done in public. Lindsay texted a friend a picture of the ring.” An insider adds, “He loves her, protects her and keeps her out of trouble.”

July 2: LiLo celebrates her birthday during a lavish vacation with Tarabasov. She posts a ton of photos of them looking happy and in love. A rare video shows him gushing about his not-so-secret fiancée, saying, “You’re the most important thing in my life.”

July 19: Lohan posts a photo, taken by her sister, of the continuing lovefest as the two bob in the water, wrapped in each other’s arms while spending time with friends. “The words are stronger than the picture you see,” she wrote at the time.

Early morning of July 23: While Tarabasov is out late in London, Lohan takes to Instagram to vent about him to her 4.7 million followers. “I guess I was the same at 23… Sh*tty time- it changes at 26/27,” she writes, along with a photo of them together. “@e2505t thanks for not coming home tonight. Fame changes people.” That is followed by an even bigger zinger: a photo of him that she captions, “Wow thanks #fiance with Russian hooker @dasha_pa5h.” So apparently they are engaged. Or were.
The most confusing piece of the puzzle is a tweet suggesting that she’s pregnant. “lindsay lohan labour pains trailer – I am pregnant!!” she wrote, along with a link to an image of herself from the 2009 film. She then deleted all the tweets and Instagram posts.
When Tarabasov returned home, they had a heated exchange on their balcony which “woke up most of the street,” according to the Sun. According to the paper, she shouts her name and address, saying, “Please, please, please! He just strangled me! He almost killed me!”
Then there is back and forth between the two, but you can mostly hear Lohan’s signature raspy voice. “You’re f****** crazy. You sick f***,” she says. “You need help. It’s my house — get out of my house,” she says. And: “I’m done. I don’t love you anymore. You tried to kill me. You’re a f****** psycho.” Lohan makes it sound like a very violent attack. “No, Egor, you’ve been strangling me constantly,” she says. “You can’t strangle a woman constantly and beat the s*** out of her and think it’s okay. Everybody saw you touch me. It’s filmed. Get out! Get out.”
By the time police arrived, both Lohan and Tarabasov were gone, so authorities broke down their door.
Evening of July 23: Lohan is spotted dressed up as she stepped out with a gal pal to attend an event.
A rep for Lohan has not replied to Yahoo’s request for comment about the incident with Tarabasov, but Lohan took to Instagram on Monday afternoon to post her own statement.
“I would appreciate if these speculations regarding my personal life would respectfully come to a halt. Unfortunately, a private matter has become more public than I can control and I would be extremely grateful if my fiancé and myself could discuss our personal matters on our own,” wrote Lohan, who may we point out was the one to go public with their problems in the first place. “There are more important things going on in the world than our relationship. Please leave us be to solve our personal matters.”
We wish them well in resolving their personal matters.
