Playboy paid for nearly $1 million for the sexy pictorial of the troubled starlet.
Lindsay LohanWith reports that Playboy magazine paid professional train wreck Lindsay Lohan a fortune to pose in the buff, it is doubtful a free online leak was part of the plan.
Just a day after Lohan’s Playboy cover hit the web, the 25-year-old actress’ entire nude photo spread has gone viral, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Playboy is not pleased of the leak, which occurred well before the release of the January/ February cover date.
The shoot was a massive investment for Playboy, according to TMZ. Playboy paid nearly $1 million to Lohan for the spread and printed thousands of extra copies in anticipation of a sales boom. Sources at Playboy told TMZ that magazine honchos are "freaking out" and there is concern the leak will harm sales.
A Playboy representative told People, "Someone took photos of Lindsay’s pictorial in an advanced copy of the January/February issue. They posted the photos online without permission. We are not releasing any official images or information until Dec. 15."
