Lindsay Lohan is reportedly set to portray domestic and sexual abuse in her forthcoming Linda Lovelace biopic.

The 23-year-old Mean Girls actress is to play the Deep Throat porn star in Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story directed by Matthew Wilder, and the gossip blog jezebel.com claims to have got hold of the script, posting some pages online.

There are many disturbing and upsetting scenes in the film which show Linda crying as she makes the legendary film Deep Throat, and another scene sees her involved in a foursome with Sammy Davis Jr.

As well as scenes of drug taking, there is a montage of Linda making crude comments about how much she loves sexual acts, directly to the camera.

But Lindsay recently hit back at critics who claimed her career had hit a new low by appearing in the movie, due to begin shooting later this year.

She said: “The way that Matthew wants to shoot it is not vulgar.

“It’s more about getting into her psyche and seeing how scared she was. That’s what I want to show most in the film.

“People are going to say, ‘Oh, Lindsay Lohan is doing a porno.’ But it’s not like that.”
