Earlier this month, Lindsay Lohan left many wondering if she had converted to Islam after she deleted all of her Instagram photos and changed her bio to read “Alaikum salam,” Arabic for, “Peace be upon you.”
The “Mean Girls” star was raised Catholic, but was spotted in 2015 carrying the Quran, and as recently as October, she wore a traditional headscarf while meeting Syrian refugees.
When speaking to Turkey's Habertürk TV in October, she said, "In America, I was going through a lot with past things that had happened to me over a 10-year span, and my very close friends who have been there for me a lot in London are Saudi, and they gave me [the] Quran and I brought it to New York because I was learning, and it opened doors for me to experience spirituality, to find another true meaning.”
In recent interviews, the 30-year-old actress has been talking with a new accent, which seemed to be undetermined, but Lohan explained to DailyMail.com, "It's a mixture of most of the languages I can understand or am trying to learn,” she said in November. “I'm fluent in English and French, can understand Russian and am learning Turkish, Italian and Arabic."
Lindsay's mother, Dina Lohan confirmed to Gossip Cop that the former Disney star is just taking a break from social media and that she has not switched faiths, but rather she is trying to educated herself about other religions.
