Los Angeles: Actress Lindsay Lohan says she is "scared" of her former fiance Egor Tarabasov.

The "Mean Girls" star recently split from the Russian businessman amid claims he has been unfaithful to her. A photograph has since emerged showing the duo fighting on a beach on the Greek island of Mykonos, where they travelled last month to mark Lindsay's 30th birthday.

"I've kept quiet for so long but now I'm scared of what Egor might do to me and to himself," Lohan told dailymail.co.uk. 

She has accused Tarabasov of being abusive towards her. "I realise now you can't stay in a relationship just for love. No woman can be hit and stay with that person if that person isn't prepared to say sorry." 

Stressing that she now needs a "closure", she said: "I genuinely fell in love with him but he broke my trust and made me feel unsafe." 

"I know I'm not an angel but I've tried to fix things. It's down to him now."

Lohan said, "I had suggested we go for couples' counselling but there comes a time when I have to put myself first, my family, and also think about my career which I've worked so hard for." 

He added, "I also don't want to let my fans down by not being the strong woman I have become."
