Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have recently become the queens of drug abuse, court visits and rehabs-an image, which many think would haunt them everywhere they go and would also take a toll on their brands.
Experts have claimed that while the two starlets’ continued troubles with drugs and the law might affect their travel to many countries, it might not have such a big impact on their successful clothing, perfume, and accessories lines.
Already, Paris has been barred from entering Japan after her cocaine confession in Las Vegas, which further made her scrap planned appearances in Malaysia and Indonesia to promote her lines.
Those countries, too, have strict anti-drug laws.
Meanwhile, Lohan’s future is under speculation as she awaits a court hearing on Friday, which will determine whether or not she should spend more time in jail for failing two court-appointed drug tests.
This comes just weeks after being granted an early release from prison and rehab.
According to Hollywood image consultant Michael Sands, Lohan and Hilton may have reached the point where they think all PR is good PR, and are numb to the consequences.
“Both Lindsay and Paris are drama queens still vying for media attention in hope of keeping them in the public view, but their brands are going to take a serious hit,” Fox News quoted him as saying.
“The buying public does not support illegal drug addicts, foreign countries are not going to let them in because drug laws will rule over any ‘fame’ they claim to have. This is all going to come back to haunt them for many years, whenever they travel abroad they will be questioned about their drug abuse, searched and publicly humiliated. At least for the next couple of years, these ’stars’ are not insurable for other projects. They are not a good image for any demographic,” he added.
But travelling overseas isn’t going to be the only challenge the stars will face.
