UPDATE-Lindsay Lohan Admits to Failing Drug Tests, Substance Abuse Via Twitter

The Lindsay Lohan case just took an unexpected twist.

Instead of thinking up a ridiculous excuse about how her energy drink contains elements of cocaine or something, Lohan actually admitted that she did indeed use drugs.

Lohan took to her twitter to tweet the follow:

Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result. Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. I am testing every single day and doing what I must do to prevent any mishaps in the future.This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I'm prepared to face the consequences I am so thankful for the support of my fans, loved ones and immediate family, who understand that i am trying hard, but also that I am a work in progress, just as anyone else. I am keeping my faith, and I am hopeful....Thank you all!!!

I am surprised by Lohan's words, but at the same time, skeptical. I think she may have only released this statement as a way to get on Judge Fox's good side and avoid further jail time. Also, Lohan may realize that this could put a set back on her whole "come back" thing, and she may be trying to salvage it by releasing this statement.

What do you think about Lohan's admittance to failing her drug test and substance abuse?
