You know that mini-crisis you go through when you turn thirty? Well, after her milestone birthday last July, actress Lindsay Lohan has taken it from mini-crisis to massive revamp, switching the proverbial shiny convertible for..... converting? 

Lohan recently moved to the UAE to turn over a new leaf –  starting by switching off social media. 

The Mean Girls actress, who has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons in the past, recently erased her presence on Instagram and has had minimal interactions on Twitter and Facebook. The only message left for her fans: ‘Alaikum salam … Inquiries: scott@lindsaylohan.co.’ 

Speculation about her lifestyle choices is now rife, with many Muslims tweeting they’re ‘proud’ of her and sending her ‘peace and blessings’. 

Speaking to British media, Lohan said of wiping her Instagram clean: "It was symbolic to me of letting the past go and moving on to the future which was very therapeutic. It's been a long time coming." She went on to say that social media plays far too much of a role in people's everyday lives nowadays and that it can definitely be "negative" with her celebrity status because she's "too connected" to everyone.

This follows the major backlash she faced in her native U.S. after being photographed in NYC in 2015 holding a Quran. 

 She explained the photograph, saying: “My very close friends in London are Saudi and they gave me the Quran and I brought it to New York because I was learning," claiming "it opened doors"  for Lohan to "experience spiritually, to find another true meaning."

However, the U.S. media did not take it well and the Lohan claimed: “They crucified me for it in America,” adding that the media made out that the actress was "Satan" and "a bad person" for holding that Quran. 

A spokesperson for Lohan responded to the allegations that she was converting saying: "To my knowledge she is not considering fully converting to Islam, but I know she has been taking a keen interest in the Arabic culture of late."

Following the controversy, the "Mean Girls" star spoke up for the Muslim population in America, saying: “I can’t imagine how many people go through this all the time, and that made me feel like an outsider.”
