“Fears for Lindsay Lohan’s health as she is spotted with ‘prescription drugs’” reads the headline of a piece in the U.K.’s Daily Mail, after the contents of the actress’ open handbag were photographed inside a car she emerged from as she went to the Chateau Marmont a few days ago.

The paper then claims, “The image of the tablets inside the bag – nestled among her lipstick, hairbrush and wallet – has raised fears the star may be slipping back to her old ways.”

Of course, the paper doesn’t state who “fears” for her. Instead, the tab and other media outlets like it simply regurgitate unsubstantiated allegations made by the actress’ father, Michael Lohan, about her supposed pill popping.

Gossip Cop, however, went directly to Lohan, who told us all about the pill bottle pictured in the Daily Mail article and elsewhere.

Lohan said, “They are trazodone.” And while the pills have various usages, Lohan explained to Gossip Cop that they were prescribed as “a non-narcotic sleeping aid for when I travel. They’ve been prescribed to me since I was in rehab!”

Gossip Cop hopes this puts the rumors to… sleep.
