Lindsay Lohan has opened up about her former relationship with Samantha Ronson -- and it isn't pretty.

The 26-year-old actress has explained why their on-again off-again romance didn't work, and calls both herself and Ronson "toxic people."

"I was bold enough to say, 'Yeah, I like a girl. And?' That was three years ago. It was my last serious relationship," Lohan told Us Weekly. "I needed to love myself first before I could be with anyone. And I was going through a lot. Two toxic people cannot be together. End of story."

Lohan and Ronson's relationship was reportedly full of screaming matches, jealousy and plenty of drama, but she tells the magazine the two still keep in touch. It sounds as though Lohan has decided that her romance with Ronson is a thing of the past, but when the two were spotted together in New York earlier this year, it looked like they may have been trying to give things another chance.

"Lindsay and Sam were whispering and laughing and they left the club holding hands. They didn't care who saw them, and they definitely seem to be back on. It was just like the old days -- they couldn't get enough of each other!" an insider told X17Online in May.

Lohan says she's currently single and focused on getting her career back on track. Though the actress is reportedly devastated by the harsh criticism of her performance in "Liz & Dick," she told Us Weekly that she's determined to keep working:

"I'm happy. I just did three movies in a row and I'm not even tired. I want to do the next one. It took a while to get back to that," she told the magazine, adding, "I'm not going anywhere."

Lindsay's relationship with Samantha definitely surprised many. Check out more surprising celebrity couples:
