News of the World is reporting that Tila Tequila’s new girlfriend, Courtenay Semel, is actually the ex-lover of Lindsay Lohan.

Apparently Courtenay is miffed that Samantha won out in a lesbian love triangle that involved Lohan.  She is bitter because of all the media attention that Sam and Lindsay get. When she was with the actress Lohan insisted on keeping the relationship quiet.

Courtenay, 25, apparently told a friend,

“Everyone thinks Samantha is Lindsay’s first lesbian love, but we were very passionate until her fear of being found out drove us apart.  At the time she was terrified her career would be over if she revealed her sexual tendencies.  But then Samantha came on to the scene and I was dropped.”

The friend also says that Courtenay told her that Lindsay slept with a ton of guys to hide her lesbian tendencies, and did lots of drugs to help her cope with the pressures of her identity crisis.  She and Courtenay would do lines of coke all night long then head home and have sex.

But once Lindsay met Samantha in January ‘07, the relationship between Courtenay and Lindsay withered.

The friend explained, “Back then Samantha and Lindsay didn’t have a physical relationship. She once said, ‘Samantha’s the father I never had’  Apparently Samantha acted in a ‘paternal’ way towards her, giving her advice and cuddles.”

While Lindsay was in rehab both women visited her.

“By now Lindsay was sending ‘I love you’ notes to Samantha and signing them ‘Lindsay Ronson’ but telling Courtenay she loved her too.”

Courtenay and Lindsay rented house together in Beverly Hills but the couple’s relationship continued to deteriorate.

“Lindsay brought men back,” the friend explained. “Courtenay would throw fits of rage, writing her hundreds of angry e-mails from another room in the house.  The sexual attraction between them was electric though and they’d still kiss and make up.”

Eventually Courtenay moved out, tired of competing with the men Lindsay was bringing home.  Even though she is now involved with MySpace quasi-celeb, Tila Tequila, her friend adds that she is hurt by media reports of Linds and Sam.

“Courtenay still can’t understand how Lindsay is now so open with Samantha.  Every time she sees a picture of them together it kills her.”
