On May 6, Britain’s News of the World published video stills from the early hours of March 8 that allegedly seemed to show actress Lindsay Lohan sharing cocaine with a female companion at Hollywood’s Teddy’s nightclub.

“The whole thing is honestly very sad,” a source close to Lohan tells Us. “She’s a very young girl living a high-profile life…It’s hard for her to resist temptations.”

It remains to be seen whether the scandal will ruin her career, but Lohan’s first step on the road to image recovery: “She has to give a sincere public apology and say that she will seek counseling again,” public relations guru Howard Rubenstein tells Us Weekly.

Her Georgia Rule costar Jane Fonda is pulling for her: "We can't know what it's like to grow up famous starting at 12 with such family problems," Fonda tells Us. "We have to give Lindsay a break sometimes and be a little more understanding."

One example the 20-year-old actress can take heart in? Kate Moss, who scored ad campaigns for Dior and Calvin Klein (and launched a clothing line) in the wake of a similar cocaine scandal in 2005.

As for Lohan, says Rubenstein, “If she shows remorse, the public will forgive her.”

For more details on the leaked tape (and on who leaked it to the media), pick up the new issue of Us Weekly.
