Lindsay vs. "Vanity Fair"

So much for getting a little more personal.

First, Lindsay Lohan reportedly tried to get Vanity Fair to spike comments she made in an interview about experimenting with drugs. Now, the Mean Girls star is claiming the magazine "misused and misconstructed" her words to wrongly characterize her as a bulimic.

Lohan's tell-all interview, appearing in the latest issue of Vanity Fair, on newsstands Tuesday, quotes her saying an eating disorder had left her body so skeletal even she found it "disgusting."

"I was making myself sick," the magazine quotes Lohan, 19. "I had people sit me down and say, 'You're going to die if you don't take care of yourself.' "

The article, written by Evgenia Peretz, notes Lohan was "referring to bulimic episodes."

But Lohan now denies ever copping to being a bulimic.

"The words that I gave to the writer for Vanity Fair were misused and misconstrued, and I'm appalled with the way it was done," Lohan says in a statement to Teen People.

"Aside from [the writer's] lies and changing of my words, I am blessed to have this job and wonderful family that I do," Lohan's statement continued. Teen People says Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, claims the actress has never had bulimia.

Zelnik did not immediately comment on the flap Tuesday; Vanity Fair, however, was holding firm.

"Evgenia Peretz is one of our most reliable reporters," the magazine said in a statement. "Every word Lindsay Lohan told her is on tape. Vanity Fair stands by the story."

Lohan herself has repeatedly denied in past interviews that she was in the grips of an eating disorder and attributed her extra slim figure to exercise and diet.

However, Vanity Fair says that as recently as May, Lohan was making herself vomit in order to keep her weight down.

In the article, Lohan credits Lorne Michaels for bringing her to the point where she realized she was losing control. After Lohan appeared on Saturday Night Live, Michaels staged an intervention, forcing her to take stock of who she had become.

"I just started bawling. I knew I had a problem, and I couldn't admit it," Lohan said.

"I saw that SNL after I did it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms."

Before the issue hits stands, Vanity Fair said that Zelnik had contacted the magazine and asked to have removed all references to Lohan experimenting with drugs. Vanity Fair refused.

The magazine quotes Lohan as saying she dabbled in drugs "a little" but had since "gotten that out of my system."

When questioned further on her drug use, the actress reportedly became flustered and denied having tried cocaine. "I don't want people to think that I've done...you know what I mean?" she is quoted as saying. "It's kind of a sore subject."
