Reformed party girl TARA REID insists that the press should leave LINDSAY LOHAN alone and give her a chance to grow up away from the spotlight.
The AMERICAN PIE actress has been criticised for her hard-partying ways and can sympathise with the wild reputation Lohan has earned.
She tells American publication Us Weekly, "Lindsay reminds me of a younger version of me. But you can't take away that the girl is a good actress.
"So she's going through a point in her life. I grew up. Leave her alone. "If Lindsay can get a chance, then I deserve a chance too."
