This photo hit the web last week of what looked like a crazed Lindsay Lohan holding a knife to Vanessa Minnillo's neck.

Now Vanessa says she regrets posing for the photos that most say have ruined her career while Lindsay's people claim the photos were stolen from Lohan's apartment.

"Unfortunately, we live in a society where we allow stolen pictures to make a profit. I can't believe magazines would purchase and publish stolen, personal photos. If anyone wants to step up to the plate and donate the profits from their sale, we would be happy to point you in the direction of a charity in need," Lohan's rep said.

A source told Us Weekly that Minnillo "got caught up in the moment and thought it would be fun. It was stupid and she regrets it. They were only fooling around."   

Vanessa has found herself unemployed as her contracts at TRL and Entertainment Tonight were not renewed.  Lohan, of course, is in rehab (again).
