Lindsay Lohan's publicist has insisted that complaints about the actress's time in rehab are unwarranted.

The Mean Girls actress checked into the Wonderland centre in Los Angeles earlier this month but has since been criticised by fellow residents for allegedly treating the facility like a hotel. A make-up artist, masseur, and hairstylist are said to visit Lohan regularly, and she has also been allowed to continue working on her latest movie during her spare time.

"Lindsay is 100 per cent not getting special treatment. She's getting the same as everyone else. This isn't the Betty Ford Clinic, it's not a lockdown facility. There is personal time," publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnick told WENN.

"All these naysayers who keep blogging and speaking out... they don't know what she's going through, they're not there. They shouldn't speak until they've gone through something like that."
