First of all, lets analyze what a hoarder is exactly. Here is the description according to Wiki:
“Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding or disposophobia or the Messie mindset) is a mental disorder marked by an obsessive need to acquire (and failure to use or discard) a significant amount of possessions, even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. Compulsive hoarding causes significant clutter and impairment to basic living activities, including mobility, cooking, cleaning, showering, and sleeping. A person who engages in compulsive hoarding is commonly said to be a “pack rat”, in reference to that animal’s apparent fondness for material objects.”
The question on everyone’s mind is, is Lindsey actually disturbed or is she just really rich and has no time to organize all the crap she buys. Well, I seem to disagree with the second statement. All celebrities are rich, but i’m pretty sure they don’t just through all their stuff in a room and forget about it. You have money… hire someone to organize all your stuff, add another room to your million dollar mansion and use it strictly for closet space! Just check out these celebrity closets from InStyle magazine; they look nothing like Lindsey Lohan’s mess.
According to a clinical psychologist that interviewed for PopEater.com, “Lohan is filling an emotional void and channeling her search to find perfectionism, as well as the fact that she is showing an over attachment to objects rather than intimate relationships which may be lacking in her life. Typically hoarders place a high emotional value on items that may represent a high point in their life or even cover up emotional pain like not feeling loved as a child.”
Look, I used to be a huge fan of Lindsey and always thought she was pretty cool but lately she just looks so crazy and dirty. Seriously… every time she takes a picture, it looks like she has dirt on her face, she shouldn’t be hoarding shoes, she should be hoarding some face wash. And last but not least, if she is going on a show that documents hoarders… SHE’S A HOARDER! The Insider had Niecy Nash (Whom you probably know as Bonita the school principal from The Bernie Mac Show) from Clean House explain what went down.
