Insult: Lindsay Lohan, pictured here at her Beverly Hills court hearing yesterday, had 'F*** U' painted on her middle finger
She made an impassioned speech about taking responsibility for her life and respecting the authority of the court.
But Lindsay Lohan was also apparently sending a message of her own to the judge who jailed her for 90 days and put her future career in jeopardy.
Magnified images of one of Lohan's multi coloured fingernails showed the words F*** U.

The obscene message was clearly visible on the middle finger which was often pointed in the direction of Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel.
Profane: The gesture made a mockery of the 24-year-old's tearful plea that she was taking her court appearance seriously
While the judge would not have been able to see the word from where she was sitting it was picked up by photographers who were allowed into the courtroom.
The words had been painstakingly written in black over colourful nail polish.
The gesture made a mockery of the 24-year-old's tearful plea that she was taking her court appearance seriously.
'I am not taking this as a joke. This is my life. It is my career. It is something I have worked for all my life,' the actress pleaded.
'I don't want you to think I don't respect you and your terms.'
Still, the star won't have time for profane manicures soon enough.
She will have to surrender herself on July 20 to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Los Angeles.
It is likely she will be placed in a special segregated cell for celebrities, however it is possible she will only serve 23 days behind bars due to overcrowding and the non-violent nature of her crime.
The prison is the very same place where Lindsay served just 84 minutes three years ago before being released due to overcrowding
A visit from mother: Dina Lohan, who did not attend yesterday's hearing, arrived at Lindsay's apartment today
It is also where Lohan's former friend Paris Hilton spent several weeks the same year after violating her probation stemming from a driving under the influence arrest.
The Century Regional Detention Facility holds 2,200 inmates and is located in the southern LA suburb of Lynwood.
During her time behind bars, Lohan will spend 23 hours a day in a two-bunk cell with a toilet and sink and will be given an hour a day to shower, watch television, exercise outside and make phone calls.
The Mean Girls star was visibly stunned yesterday when Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel handed down the term and blasted her for not taking her probation in two 2007 drink-driving cases seriously.
Tears: Lindsay, pictured with her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, sobbed as she was sentenced
Jail time: A typical cell at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, where Lohan is expected to serve her sentence
Lockdown: LiLo is likely to serve 23 days behind bars out of her 90-day sentence due to overcrowding and the non-violent nature of her crime
Lohan's lawyer urged the judge not to punish her too severely because she 'did the best she could under extremely difficult circumstances'.
After being handed her sentence, the devastated star briefly covered her face with her lawyer's notes, which listed excuses for why she missed some of her classes.
Lohan was on probation after two DUI offences in less than two months in 2007.
On May 26, 2007, the actress was in a Mercedes-Benz that crashed into a hedge along Sunset Boulevard.
Lohan protested she did not realise she had not been keeping up with the court ordered alcohol education classes and insisted a busy work schedule had stopped her attending regularly.
Disbelief: Lindsay's tortured facial expressions revealed the growing horror as her worst fears of a jail term were realised
But the judge was insistent, saying: 'I couldn't have been more clear [about my orders]. There are no excuses.'
The Beverly Hills court heard Lohan repeatedly missed once-weekly classes at an alcohol-education programme.
Lohan had failed to attend the course at least nine times since October 16, the court heard.
Her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley claimed Lohan had done well by meeting the overall terms of her probation.
Less than two months later she was arrested in Santa Monica on suspicion of drink-driving.
'There are no excuses': Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel didn't show the actress any leniency
Lohan later pleaded no contest to two counts each of drunken driving and being under the influence of cocaine, and one count of reckless driving.
She spent just 84 minutes in Lynwood in November 2007 due to overcrowding and was placed on three years' probation.
Lohan's probation was extended for a year in October after she missed some alcohol-education classes while making a movie in Texas.
In May she failed to show up for a court hearing because she was at the Cannes Film Festival.
Her legal team claimed she was stranded in France after her passport was stolen.
Serious: A concerned Lohan leans towards her lawyer as they listen to the judge
Grovelling: Lindsay made a desperate plea to the judge before her sentencing
Lohan eventually made it to court four days late, when she was ordered to wear a Scram alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet as a condition of her release on bail pending Tuesday's probation hearing.
She was also ordered to undergo random drug testing, among other conditions.
On June 6 the bracelet indicated Lohan may have violated her bail by consuming alcohol after the MTV Movie Awards.
The judge doubled Lohan's bail and the actress posted a bond with the court, allowing her to remain out of custody.
At yesterday's hearing, Revel did not consider the Scram anklet as part of her determination of whether Lohan violated probation.
Hiding from the cameras: Lohan shielded her face behind her lawyer's court notes, which listed excuses for the actress's absences from her alcohol-education classes
The judge conceded Lohan was ordered to wear the device as a condition of her bail when she appeared in court in May, not when she was placed on probation.
She was sentenced to 30 days in jail for the reckless driving case, 30 days consecutive for the first DUI case and another 30 days consecutive for the second drink-driving case.
Lohan must not drink any alcohol as a condition of her continuing probation.
Her estranged father Michael, with his lawyer Lisa Bloom, and the actress's sister Ali, 16, were both in the court.
Her mother Dina Lohan was noticeably absent, but was seen arriving at her daughter's LA apartment today.
Two weeks of freedom: Lindsay, who left in a different outfit after changing half way through proceedings, will start her sentence on July 20
And her rumoured new girlfriend Eilat Anschel, who recently completed a mandatory stretch in the Israeli Army, was also spotted by onlookers.
After leaving court, her father Michael appeared on Larry King Live to speak of his 'dismay', but 'satisfaction' over his daughter's sentencing.
He said: 'I feel dismay, but at the same time a little satisfaction that she's going to rehab. But the last thing in the world I wanted was for my daughter to go to jail.
As Lindsay went home and requested friends to visit her on her Twitter page, her father was later spotted out partying at The Saddle Ranch on Sunset Boulevard.

Actor Danny DeVito was also at the Beverly Hills courthouse yesterday.
But unlike the others, he was not there for moral support.
A spokesperson for the Twins actor told Mail Online he had been called for jury duty on a separate case.
