Former girlfriend Ronson defends Lohan

Samantha Ronson has defended Lindsay Lohan after a scathing online attack by Joan Rivers.

The DJ – who was in an on-off 16-month relationship with the troubled actress from the start of 2008 – took to her twitter account to support her former lover after the 77-year-old comedienne left a series of comments laughing at the ‘Mean Girls’ star’s personal problems and upcoming jail sentence.
