She had been riding a car in Moscow, according to TMZ, when she spotted a homeless family by the roadside.
Lindsay approached the family who she said are Syrian refugees who need help seemingly trying to help, and offers to have their kids come watch “on a television or a computer.”
After Lohan became increasingly hostile, the family begins to leave. Lohan told the mother, “You should be a hard-working woman and you should be doing what you can for your children, so they have a better life.”
The actress followed them, speaking to her Instagram Live video saying that the parents were “child trafficking” and spoke in Arabic, telling the family they were “ruining Arab culture.”
She could also be heard saying to the children that she would walk forever.
As she continued to follow the family, the mother turned back toward Lohan. A gasp is then heard and the camera shakes. At this point, the family walked off and Lohan stopped following.
Lindsay Lohan grabbed the side of her face and began to cry, saying she was slapped by the woman.
Twitter users have criticised the actress for her actions and some have described her behaviour as “white saviour” complex.

Nauseated by the self-righteousness of Americans like @lindsaylohan and their laughable 'White Savior' impulses: "Let me saaaave you!" Drop the faux accent, Lindsay, and go save the thousands of US kids sex-trafficked in LA. https://t.co/C1R4R250Uq
