Lindsay Lohan has had a chance playing a one of those girls who picks on others at school in the movie ‘Mean Girls’. Yet, it seems her sister – Ali Lohan – has had to experience being on the other end of the bullying that wasn’t a part of any movie.
“A little while ago … a couple of girls in school made up a video of me and put it up on YouTube,” Ali – whose E! reality show, Living Lohan with manager-mom Dina, debuts on Memorial Day – tells PEOPLE exclusively. “They used disgusting words. Like if my mom ever heard me say that stuff, I’d be grounded for life! … They’re disgusting kids. I got really aggravated.”
She did say that she told the school authorities “and [the students] got suspended.” Yet, she is finding that she needs not worry about those problems anymore now that she is homeschooled. The eighth grader was taken out of school because of her work and the amount that she travels.
“You learn so much more – it’s just hard to focus when girls are giving you problems,” she says. “No one’s talking about you behind your back. It’s definitely easier.”
Ali believes that the fact that she is a girl is the only reason why they picked her to pick on not because of who she is and who she is related to.
“I don’t think it’s just because of my sister and who she is,” she insists. “I think it happens to all the other girls out there, because girls are just mean. It doesn’t happen with guys. When I asked [my little brother] Cody, he was like, ‘No, Guys don’t care!’ “
