Remember the Lindsay Lohan Maserati crash? It’s porn producer friend Dennis DeSantis’ Maserati!

What is a porn exec doing lending Lohan a Maserati?

Reports broke earlier this month said:

“Lohan’s Maserati was crashed less than 2 weeks after just being bought….. Lohan recently complained she is unemployed and worried about house payments. And yet, she goes out and buys a $100,000+ sports car. Go figure!”

Well, turns out the car isn’t even hers. The car, which reportedly suffered $10,000 in damage, has been on loan from porno man Dennis DeSantis to Lohan. And even more bizarre – once repaired it’s reportedly hers to use again.

Why?

If he’s smart, he’ll put a bumper sticker for his next film on the car in case she .. abutts .. into another vehicle again.

He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her.”The revelation came as a shock to the countess, who celebrated her 16th anniversary with her husband on March 16.
