How crazy would it be if you thought something your entire life, and then all of the sudden, you found out that you were wrong, conspiracy theories play a big role in this and often enough, it has to do with celebrities.  Celebrities are one of the most talked about subjects in the media. They get paid a lot of money and are typically exposed when something outrageous happens because of all the paparazzi and media. We think we know everything about our favorite stars but with all the money they have, how hard would it actually be to cover up something big? Probably not so hard.

So what are we talking about here? Well, we all know the famous actress Lindsay Lohan. We know about the movies she has been in, and we know about the crazy fall she took a few years ago when she began to do drugs and had a total meltdown. For some reason though, nobody asked the simple question, why? Why did she begin doing drugs? Why did she go to prison, as well as solitary confinement for two weeks? Well, we all know the movie The Parent Trap starring Lindsay Lohan as both of the twins in the movie…or maybe not.

What if I told you that Lindsay Lohan had a twin sister that starred with her in the movie, but then died and the whole thing was covered up. You would probably say that that’s crazy right? Even though there is no way that we can be one hundred percent sure about this, all the evidence leading up to it is practically all the proof you need. Her name was Kelsey Lohan and she played the other twin in Parent Trap. Stay with me. Basically, Kelsey was not as good of an actor as Lindsay so when she died after they made the movie, Disney just said that Lindsay was playing both characters the whole time.

When doing this, Disney did not think of little obvious things that might stand out later in the future, like the fact that this movie was made in the 1990s. How did they have editing skills that were that good, so long ago? It’s basically impossible unless there were two girls. Another reason for the conspiracy is because if you look at an actual photo of them side by side, you can clearly see all of the noticeable differences. You can see the shape of their hairlines, the eyebrows, and lips.

Talking to Ms. Asher, History teacher here at the iSchool, she said, “Although the thought is interesting and some of the aspects of the evidence make sense, I don’t think [they] would have been able to pull it off considering how big of a star she is and how popular the movie was.” Even though all of this is true, if you think about the money that her parents would have gotten for covering up something like that, it might have been just enough to keep this entire thing a secret.

Ashley Acevedo is a big fan of conspiracy theories. She said, “Yea, I believe it! Why else would she go crazy like she did? Those two look nothing alike.” Ashley claims that she has seen the photos of the two girls next to each other before and that they do look similar as relatives do, but not identical like the same person.

In an interview in 2013 on CNN with Alan Duke, she talks about going through her tough state. She was sleeping at a mental institution because she claimed to be having nightmares. “I was having really bad nightmares,” Lohan said. “So I stayed in a facility so I could get some sleep and talk about it with someone the next day, because it was overwhelming.” She also mentions having problems with her dad,  “He won’t change,” she said. “I just think there comes a point where you just kind of have to accept what it is…whenever I do try to bring him back into my life, he creates chaos for me and uses it to his advantage. He’s been really good and then really crazy my whole life.” Also, its makes sense that she distrusts her dad because maybe her parents are the ones who agreed to keep the death hidden, forced Lindsay to forget her twin sister existed, and it was all for the sake of more money.

With dealing with the truth of conspiracy theories, the possibilities are truly endless, and each one is crazier than the other. Just the idea of one of the biggest stars potentially having a twin sister the public was completely unaware of is insane! It’s even crazier that Disney might have went to extreme measures to cover it up. Just next time a celebrity goes crazy, maybe we should think twice.
