Well, we won’t know what kind of tree Lindsay Lohan would want to be. She’s canceled her highly anticipated interview with Barbara Walters, The New York Daily News confirms.

The troubled actress, who recently hired a new publicist, will not sit down with the veteran anchor because her new publicity team (Rogers & Cowan) was not happy with the direction ABC wanted to take the interview, Deadline.com reports.

Lohan signed with the L.A. agency after flack Steve Honig resigned in disgust in October.

The 20/20 segment was due to air Nov. 16.
