When Lindsay Lohan is accused of stealing something (in this case, the formula for her sevin nyne self-tanning products), she tends to have something to say for herself. Lohan used Twitter as her medium to say "no formula was stolen", despite chemist Jennifer Sunday's claims that there's no way Lohan and her business partner Lorit Simon could have incorporated a new ingredient in the line by the time they launched it.
As it stands, Sunday has brought charges of breach of contract, civil conspiracy, theft of trade secrets, intentional interference with contractual relations, and deceptive and unfair trade practice. We'll all have to wait and see how this one turns out.

Lindsay Lohan can't seem to catch a break lately. She was at the centre of some missing-jewels drama ($500,000 worth) at ELLE magazine in June, until a company rep said she wasn't a suspect. She reportedly was the source of conflict between Esteban Cortazar and his label Ungaro, when company leaders wanted the actress to be the face of the brand and the designer disagreed. (Cortazar and Ungaro were later said to have "worked on" their differences.) And let's not even get started on LiLo's highly scrutinised love life...
Now, a chemist in St Petersburg, Florida, is suing Lohan for stealing the self-tanner formula she uses for her Sevin Nyne brand. A lawyer representing Jennifer Sunday says there's no way Lohan and her business team could have developed the mist recipe in three years like she says, because Sunday developed the components only recently. Sunday is going for some of Sevin Nyne's profits, according to the St Petersburg Times (via The Cut).
And the drama continues.
