Lindsay Lohan Unknowingly Tells Someone 'You're A Donkey' On Instagram

Lindsay Lohan’s attempt at a compliment written in Arabic failed miserably. The actress reportedly became the social media laughing stock once again when she unknowingly told someone “You’re A Donkey” on Instagram.

According to US Weekly, Lindsay Lohan took to her Instagram page on Monday, April 20, to post a phrase written in Arabic with the English translation “You’re beautiful” written under it. The actress reportedly didn’t add any caption to her post but shared its link to her Twitter page with the word “Habbi,” which is said to be an Arabic term of endearment.

However, according to Mirror UK, Lindsay Lohan “once again became the laughing stock” when Twitter users noted her embarrassing Instagram fail. Multiple sources claimed the Arabic phrase actually means anything but “you’re beautiful.” Arabic roving reporter Jenan Moussa especially noticed the actress’ post on Twitter wherein she told LiLo, “Next time @lindsaylohan, let me check b4 u post. Arabic words don't mean 'U are beautiful' but 'u are a donkey.”

Lindsay Lohan was reportedly left embarrassed for her failed attempt at an Arabic compliment, although the recipient of her post wasn't mentioned. The actress has since deleted her Instagram post. However, this has not deterred her from using foreign languages again on Instagram. The following day she shared an old photo of her grandparents, and according to UK Weekly, she captionied it with, “Un amore eterno #nonno#nonna @dinalohan c'est très jolie #JohnLSullivan #AnnValerio,” both in Italian and French.

This is not the first time that the actress was criticised over her use of Arabic phrases in her posts. According to Mirror UK, Lindsay Lohan also got the attention of social media users at the start of the year when she shared a rather confusing message about the death of King Abdullah. The actress supposedly shared a post where she wrote “Inshallah,” which in English means “God willing,” and ”Wallahi,” meaning “I promise by God.” Arabic speakers were reportedly able to immediately point out her wording was out of context for the King’s death.

Lindsay Lohan’s failed Arabic compliment reportedly came a few weeks after she was accused of photoshopping her selfie. The 28-year-old shared a photo on Twitter where she appeared to have a smaller waistline. However, many users were quick to point out the distortion on the stairs behind her, leading them to speculate she had edited the photo. LiLo has since also deleted the image from her social media page.
