Lindsay is not suffering from financial problems and has been inundated with offers for when she returns to work, claims a close friend.
Ethan Terra - who is co-owner of Lindsay's mother Dina's production company - said: "Lindsay has absolutely no qualms about getting work. She literally has a mountain pile of scripts to choose from. When she is ready, we'd like to see her take on a positive role; she is doing so amazingly well with her recovery."
He told Fox News' Pop Tarts: "It's not fair in any way, shape, or form for those reports to be out there. Lindsay is 100 percent insurable, all she had to do was put up a fee as a bond then she would have been paid upon completion. I could insure her today. She was definitely not fired.
"Lindsay and her team decided that a film like this would be counterproductive. When she takes on a role she really becomes the character, and right now she is surrounded by nothing but positivity, so putting her back into a negative frame of mind would be very self-destructive. When she signed on to that role she was surrounded by negativity, and now she's in a much stronger and more positive place."
Ethan also insisted Lindsay - who has been replaced in the movie by 'Watchmen' actress Malin Akerman - is not upset about leaving the project.
He said: "She's totally OK with it."
