Lindsay Lohan denies lesbian relationship with Courtenay Semel

Lindsay Lohan has denied a recent press report, attributed to a friend of Courtenay Semel, daughter of former Yahoo CEO Terry Semel, that Lindsay had a lesbian relationship with Courtenay but the two drifted apart because Lindsay feared being outed.

"At the time she was terrified her career would be over if she revealed her sexual tendencies," Courtenay is reported to have told the friend. "But then Samantha came on to the scene and I was dropped."

Lindsay and Samantha, believed to be in a lesbian relationship now, were out and about in Los Angles on Sunday when a photog quizzed Lindsay about the report.

"No, that's not true," Lindsay is reported to have responded firmly.
