Michael Lohan Faces Off with Dina and Lindsay Lohan

Michael Lohan has been using the media to send messages about his concern for his daughter Lindsay Lohan, and in the process he is only getting Lindsay and Dina angry. Michael responded to Dina’s accusation that Michael is not being a good parent:

"Please get this out. Dina can attack me and say whatever she wants, but when she makes statements like, ’I need to focus on being a parent,’ I think she needs to reach deep inside herself, get out of HER state of denial and be a parent herself. I am taking LEGAL proactive steps, Dina. What are you doing beside lying, making excuses and putting Ali in the same position YOU put Lindsay in. Shall I even begin to play all the tapes of our many conversations about how Lindsay needs intervention, what a good father I am, and how you always loved me. Do you want Linds or your EX boyfriend to hear them? Use that loser David all you want. Your comments and sources don’t work. Be a REAL parent, the one you were when we were married and let’s save our daughter and give her her life back."

Although Michael denies Lindsay is seeking a restraining order against him, he does realize Lindsay is so afraid he really will kidnap her he made the following statement to clarify:

"I just meant I’d like to detox her myself, but of course I’d get arrested. People will twist my words to mean what they want. The bottom line is, Lindsay needs help, and no one wants to do anything."

Lindsay hasn’t gotten a restraining order, but she did say:

"I’m so hurt that someone who calls himself my father, needs to use the press to communicate with me."

"I have not spoken to my father, nor have I responded to his threatening and erratic messages over the last several months. It’s so sad that he needs to stay in the media spotlight by using my name and making up excessive lies. He should instead try to be a real father."

Michael has no way to help Lindsay, except to shout it from the rooftops to put public pressure on her. We know Michael loves attention, but we don’t fault him for talking about helping Lindsay when her mother won’t.

Lindsay looks so horrible. She looks like she is in her fifties.
