>> she's aware of what her fame can and can't do, and that's something she needs to be responsible for, and any judge is going to hold you more liable than another person for being in an altercation because you should know better because you should know that you're a target.

>> this adds to her legal woes, her money problems. the girl takes two steps forward and three steps back.
>> the judge will look at the reckless driving and the lying to police but given the fact that the judge had warned her before all of this happened and said stay out of the clubs and focus on her career and didn't, i think it will be a very serious matter for this judge.
>> reporter: this after a rough week in lohan 's acting career.
>> is that what you thought?
