Lindsay Lohan’s former roommate, Courtenay Semel, has revealed she moved out of the home they shared because the actress was so messy.

The couple reportedly shacked up together because it was thought that sober Courtney Semel would be a positive influence on the recently rehabbed actress.

However things didn’t quite work out, according to pals.

“They’re better as friends, not roommates," one tells In Touch.

Another former roommate of the Razzie favourite says: “Lindsay was always a mess. She had piles of clothes on the floor and on her bed all of the time.”

There was, however, some benefits to living with the out-of-work actress.

“She wouldn’t care if people borrowed stuff from her,” says the source. “Lindsay couldn’t keep track of anything, anyway.”
