LINDSAY Lohan is channelling her inner zen ahead of the new year after a tumultuous 2016.
The Mean Girls actress has had a rollercoaster 12 months, splitting from Russian billionaire fiance Egor Tarabasov in August after a series of violent outbursts between the pair.
She was also reportedly found herself in a “bailiff’s dispute” over unpaid rent on her Knightsbridge home in November, forcing her to move into a £400 a night hotel.
But as the 30-year-old looks to a new year, she took to Instagram on Thursday to share a positive post with her followers.
Lying on a sun lounger with her eyes closed and the sun on her face while wearing a cobalt blue halterneck bikini, Lindsay looked the picture of calm.
And captioning the shot, she wrote: “#zen spread #love and #serenity not war #2017 #breathe”.
The actress is currently enjoying a festive break on Zaya Nurai Island close to Abu Dhabi ahead of her New Year’s Eve appearance at a Dubai nightclub.
While Lindsay is looking forward to celebrating the arrival of 2017, she won’t want to reflect too much on 2016.
Back in September, she revealed the full extent of their toxic relationship, telling Russian TV’s Channel One: “I feared that Egor may splash acid in my face.
“I went to bed and he broke into my house. He started strangling me.
“I jumped out to the balcony and shouted with all my force, ‘He’s trying to kill me, call the police!’ I am lucky to come to Moscow to speak.”
Lindsay, 30, is thought to have been paid £650,000 by the broadcaster for the tell-all interview, which is set to be aired tonight.
Prior to the interview, it was claimed 23-year-old Egor had begged the actress not to speak about their relationship but a spokesperson denied there was any truth to the rumour.
They said: “I can confirm that Egor has not been in touch with Miss Lohan for more than six weeks.
“This is why we strictly deny this information.”
Former child star Lindsay started dating Egor last year before getting engaged in September.
Just 10 months later, their relationship came to shocking end after Egor was pictured grappling with Lindsay on a beach in Mykono, Greece.
Shortly after their break up, Lindsay broke her silence and alleged that Egor, the son of a Russian Oligarch, had been abusive.
Lindsay said: “I realise now you can’t stay in a relationship just for love – no woman can be hit and stay with that person if that person isn’t prepared to say sorry.”
“The truth is, I wanted to make things work, but now I’m not sure that I can.
“I wanted to do this interview because it’s time to tell the truth. There have been so many lies printed about me recently.
“I’ve kept quiet for so long but now I’m scared of what Egor might do to me and to himself.”
Following her claims, no charges were brought against Egor and the actress has since been linked to her business partner Dennis Papagero, but she denied they were dating.
