Been in the wars? Lindsay Lohan sports angry bruises on her legs while sunning herself alone in bright blue bikini

She's entering court-ordered rehab any day now and Lindsay Lohan is hardly keeping a low profile.

The troubled starlet showed off a number of large angry bruises on her legs as she sunbathed on a Brazilian beach on Tuesday, wearing a bright blue bikini.

Instead of covering up the huge marks, she decided to strip down on the public beach where she was spending the day on her own.



Covered in bruises: Lindsay Lohan showed off angry red marks on her legs as she sunned herself in Rio on Tuesday

Although the 26-year-old has been joined in South America by a large entourage and boyfriend Avi Snow, she spent her day off by herself, soaking up the rays and paddling in the sea.

And if the accident prone star was embarrassed by her marked legs, she certainly didn't show it, strutting around the beach without a cover-up.

Clearly proud of her curvy figure, the body-confident actress lounged around on the sand with a fully made-up face and her hair falling long and tousled over her shoulders.

The painful-looking bruises could well have occurred during one of Lindsay's nights out in Rio, where she's spent the last week partying and working.


On Thursday night she was spotted hiding under a table on the dirty floor of a nightclub with her head in her hands, after another raucous night.

The Mean Girls star has reportedly insisted she will only enter a court ordered treatment facility if she is allowed to have the prescription drug used to treat Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, which she claims she needs to function, according to TMZ.

The starlet was recently sentenced to 90 days in rehab after pleading 'no contest' to charges for lying to police about driving during a car crash last June but has jetted to Brazil for some partying and promotional appearances before entering the facility, which has horrified her father.

Michael Lohan has posted an open letter to the actress's booking agent Mike Heller, whose father is her lawyer Mark Heller, warning him that he will be held fully responsible if anything happens to Lindsay, who was reportedly spotted 'out of it' in a Sao Paulo nightclub with her dress up around her waist and crying underneath a table.


He wrote: 'I am telling you now if you are with Lindsay in Rio or you booked it, and anything happens to my daughter, I am holding you personally responsible. Judging from what has happened to in the past, and the way she looks down there from the pictures in the media, it's not a good thing.
