According to screenwriter Stephen Rodrick, Lohan wasn't happy about the 14-minute scene and had been drinking beforehand, locking herself in a closet and refusing to come out, reported TMZ online.
Director Paul Schrader had to beg her to do the scene, eventually stripping naked his self in order to show her it was no big deal.
After finally completing the take, Lohan, 26, drove off in her Porsche with Rodrick saying the producers "all hoped they would still have a lead actress in the morning."
Rodrick also said Lohan was initially fired after failing to show-up for a read-through. She then showed up at Schrader's hotel room, pounding on his door while hysterically crying and begging for her job back.
