Lindsay Lohan wants Deposition Kept Private

In today's YouTube world, Lindsay Lohan wants to be sure her court deposition in her girlfriend Samantha Ronson's case is kept private and is filing a motion to keep it from being videotaped, according to TMZ.

Quick catch-up: Samantha Ronson is suing her former lawyer, Martin Garbus, for malpractice after she lost a defamation case against blogger Perez Hilton -- who claimed Lohan's 2007 coke bust was all her fault.

Lohan is now being called to testify by SamRo's former attorney, but she is demanding her deposition not be videotaped. In a motion filed yesterday, Lindsay says she is worried because Garbus intends to question her "about the details of the drugs allegedly found in the car and of her alleged romantic relationship with Ronson."

LiLo fears if the tape is released it will hit the Internet big time (who, us?) and cause her "unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, undue burden and expense."


TMZ also links to the 14 page PDF file of the court documents, found here.

From those Documents:
NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER PROHIBITING THE VIDEOTAPING OF THE DEPOSITION OF LINDSAY LOHAN, SECURING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE DEPOSITION, AND INSTITUTING PROCEDURES THAT THE PARTIES MUST FOLLOW


Page two through three states the reasoning behind the request.
