Actress Courtenay Semel has claimed that she had a relationship with Lindsay Lohan before Sam Ronson.

The 25-year-old told the News Of The World that she only ended her relationship with Lohan because the couple feared their lesbian romance would be discovered by the media.

"Everyone thinks Samantha is Lindsay's first lesbian love, but we were very passionate until her fear of being found out drove us apart," said Semel.

"At the time she was terrified her career would be over if she revealed her sexual tendencies. But then Samantha came onto the scene and I was dropped."

Ronson and Lohan confirmed last week that they wouldn't be discussing their relationship in the media.
