Michael Lohan Speaks To The Press

July 24, 2007


Lindsay Lohan’s mom and dad are getting A LOT of calls from the media about their daughters DUI arrest and while Dina has “no comment,” Michael Lohan is taking the time to speak to them. You know what, I used to get mad that her own dad used to talk to the press but now I'm beginning to think that maybe he is just trying to reach out to her because obviously her mom ain’t no good.

Michael Lohan has spoken to Inside Edition and TMZ basically saying it’s partly his fault his daughter is the way she is and that she NEEDS help.

“Obviously it’s a call for help. I mean come on things happen for a reason. And, I really feel that sometimes we have to be brought to our knees. And, I just think Lindsay needs both of her parents there by her side now as do all my children. But, right now Lindsay’s the one in jeopardy and I just want this resolved. I want everything taken out of court. Dina and I have to put our differences aside and just be there for our kids.”

“I think that there is still a lot of pain inside of Lindsay that she is trying to drown and numb. And, unfortunately I went through the same thing myself and that is why I’ve withdrawn everything. Or, I am attempting to withdraw everything from court. I just feel that our children — all of them — need us in their lives. Whether we are together as husband and wife or not, Dina and I just need to be there for our kids.”


What do you guys think, is he truly trying to reach out to his daughter? Let's not forget though, he has a screwed up past as well.

No one truly knows why Lindsay hates her dad. NO one is saying he's a "lovely" man, but he has been incarcerated and has gone through the alcohol problems, so after 2 years in the slammer maybe he has a better perspective on what she is going through! It sounds like he geniunely wants her to be helped. I'm not going to psychoanalyze the family problems. Lindsay hasn't been around the most positive influences, so maybe somewhere along the line she's been swayed against her father by that dope that is called "her mother"!

If he's so sincere and great, why does Lindsay hate him so much then?

Mr. Lohan is right, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ....he probably has some blame in this. HOWEVER, the mother is purely pathetic. The way she attends every other event with her daughter,trying to get on any red carpet she can, getting photographed alongside Lindsay - like she's her best bud instead of her mother... she is another attention seeker and has done hardly anything to help her kid... only covers it up. THE father sounds sincere. He honestly sounds like a voice of reason, and maybe it is because he's been through it. That girl needs detox or jail ... none of this spa like resort for addicts!

I think it may be a little late for parenting for this lady - she is in her 20's now, it's time for her to settle her own problems and decide how she is going to lead her life.

You'll pray for me? Well, it's the least you could do, I suppose. Thanks, Lala, for your ever-loving heart. Er ... soul? Whatever. I'm sure you wouldn't be heartless enough to have helped re-elect President Chimpy, international outlaw. Right?

MT is right on the $$ again. That bitch, Dina, didn't even have the slightest motherly instinct to understand that this problem she has could kill her. Instead, she comes out denying she has a problem. Her career is done.

Obviously what she NEEDS is a dad that actually cares about her enough to put aside his differences w/his former wife. And she NEEDS a mom more interested in being a mom and less interested in being a friend and fellow celeb herself. It's apparent now both of these two let this stuff go on from both sides for way too long and now Lindsay's paying the price for their absentee parenting.

"The only escape from her pain is the Lord." Hilarious. That was a joke, right? You aren't saying Muslims, Jews, atheists, Buddhists, Hindus and Zoroastrians have no hope, are you?

I agree with all three above posters. Michael is being real and trying to help his obviously out of control daughter. I don't see Dina sending out messages trying to help her daughter...she didn't even visit her much and if I remember correctly, she even said Linds didn't have a drinking problem.

Of course her father is trying to reach out to her. He completed rehab cleaned himself up and now just wants to help his daughter. He is right, they do need to set aside their differences to be there for their children

I have got to say that i feel he really wants to reach out to her and help her. Dina lohan is NOT a good mother to her children or a good role model. She is an enabler. All she wants is the fame and fortune. I feel is so sad that lindsey has single handedly messed her life up. The only escape from her pain is the Lord. I pray for her and just know....Its NEVER too late until its too late. I wish her well, she is a very sick girl.

I think that he's trying to get through to her, I think her mom is a raving bitch that ruined lindsey's childhood so she could live through her child.
