Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram on Friday, October 14, to slam Donald Trump for the recently resurfaced remarks he made about then 18-year-old Lindsay Lohan and her troubled family life.
Curtis, 57, shared a throwback photo of herself with her Freaky Friday costar and quoted the presidential hopeful’s 2004 conversation with shock jock Howard Stern, and captioned the image, “I am appalled. Lindsay needed help and guidance. Not your gross, lecherous, lewd commentary. YOU are the Republican nominee for the Presidency. #wordsmattermrtrump.”
During a 2004 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, the Republican presidential nominee, now 70, discussed the former child star’s appearance. “I’ve seen a, you know, close up of her chest and a lot of freckles. Are you into freckles?” he asked Stern. “There’s something cool about her.”
Then, the radio host said, “If the father’s a wreck like the way he is, can you imagine the sex with this troubled teen?” to which Trump responded, “Yeah, you’re probably right. She’s probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed. How come the deeply troubled women — you know, deeply, deeply troubled — they’re always the best in bed?”
Lohan’s rep told CNN, “Right now, Lindsay is choosing to focus on the positive things happening in her life and has decided to disregard the comments made about her by presidential nominee Donald Trump. She is focusing on helping children around the world in need and that’s where her passion is.”
The award-winning actress also shared another photo with Lohan from the 2003 comedy of the pair looking totally distressed. “Freak Out Women Friday! During his speech, Trump questioned why [Natasha] Stoynoff waited more than a decade before going public with her story,” she wrote, referring to one of several women who have accused the businessman of sexual misconduct. “She says she was triggered by hearing Trump categorically deny he’s ever sexually assaulted anyone during the second presidential debate — and then went after her looks.”
Trump has been under fire for his derogatory comments about women that have reemerged in recent weeks, including a video of a vulgar conversation with then Access Hollywood host Billy Bush. Trump defended the language by brushing it off as “locker room talk.”
