Lindsay Lohan is "taking time" for herself amidst claims Egor Tarabasov had been cheating on her.

She wrote on Instagram: "Dear friends. I'm good and well. #ATM I am taking time for myself with good friends. I am sorry that I've exposed certain private matters recently. I was acting out of fear and sadness... We all make mistakes. Sadly mine have always been so public.

"I have done a lot of soul searching in the past years, and I should have been more clear minded rather than distract from the good heart that I have. Social media comes with the territory of the business and the world we now live in. My intentions were not meant to send mixed messages.

"Maybe things can be fixed... Maybe not.. I hope they can. But I am 30 years old and I do deserve a #GENTLEgiant Life is about love and light. Not anger. Thank you to those who stand by my side (sic)"

Meanwhile, a representative for the 30-year-old actress previously revealed Lindsay wants Egor to go to therapy.

They said: "Lindsay believes Egor has anger-management issues and she would like him to go to therapy. They both want to work things out."

And friends are reportedly worried about Egor's "controlling behaviour" over Lindsey.

A pal said: "Egor has taken control over her business ... He is in charge of her finances and is controlling over her deals, even though he has no experience in Hollywood."
