“I definitely think so. I was a teenager,” she admitted.
“But Chad Michael Murray invited me too. Why would he… I don’t want to start things anymore, but he said, ‘You have to come with me,'” she added.
“And I thought, ‘Mhm. I probably should do that.’ I mean, what was I, sixteen? No, I was younger than that,” she continued.
Murray, who co-starred with Duff A Cinderella storyalso appeared in Crazy Fridayrevealed that she wasn’t surprised when Lohan decided to continue the rivalry and later showed up at the premiere of Duff’s own movie, Cheaper per dozen, later that same year.

“Lindsay once came up to me in a club and said, ‘Are we good?’ And I thought, ‘We’re doing fine.’ She said, “Let’s give it a try.” I say, ‘Okay.’ It was amazing,” she said.
