Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan claims her controversial stint on Oprah Winfrey's reality show left her little choice but to relocate overseas.

Lohan, who is currently staying here, talked about it in an interview with the Britain's Telegraph to promote her upcoming gig in a London production of drama `Speed-the-Plow`.

The 28-year-old, says her OWN docu-series, which exposed her alcohol relapse, alleged miscarriage and many emotional meltdowns on the small screen last spring - made her a target in her hometown of New York City, reports contactmusic.com.

`After the Oprah show it was kind of hard for me to be in New York,` she said. `There started to be paparazzi, and I didn't have that in New York in the beginning... Every time I left my house, they were at the corner,` she said.

She also criticises a judge's decision to sentence her to community service at an LA morgue for violating her probation in 2011.

`It was `f***ed up and inappropriate,` she said.

`Because a lot of other people were meant to do it, and they were like: 'No, they can't handle it. Lohan can.'`
