Lindsay Lohan is Helpless, Possibly Broke; Michael Lohan is Shameless, Possibly Unstable
April 2, 2010
It’s been one heck of a week for troubled star Lindsay Lohan, even by her standards. Two months behind on rent, her landlord sent a legal notice to pay or get out.
Lindsay paid $23,000 and avoided eviction … this time.
The one-time actress isn’t pulling in any income and her prospects for work are near non-existent because of substance abuse woes, according to inside sources.
We’ve told you how people close to her fear for her life. Well, there is a strong feeling – even resignation – that Lindsay Lohan will die soon if she doesn’t get help.
There is deep frustration among many that her mom, Dina, enables her by insisting Lindsay is fine. As for her other parent? Well, that dude defies description.
Michael Lohan, who has gone on a crusade against Linds’ supposed enablers (and this website in his free time), is none too pleased with her recent allegations.
Yesterday, she Tweeted abuse accusations once again. His reply?
“There was no physical abuse,” he said. “When there’s yelling, I tried to shelter my kids from arguments my wife and I had. Dina unfortunately got the kids involved in the things we did, the arguments we had, and still does. She uses my kids as pawns.”
As for his preferred means of electronic communication lately?
In an interview with E! News, he admitted that yes, he’s been reduced to tweeting and texting with his daughter (and emailing us) to get his point across:
“I am not going to sit back and watch my daughter die or fall victim to something that so many other kids did. She’s going to a rehab, there’s no doubt.”
“My daughter is going to go to a rehab center and she is going to get better. It does not matter how many times you go, but it has to be done the right way.
“I want her to be willing to do it on her own, and it seems that she’s living in denial. She thinks it’s OK and everyone says she’s fine. But is she fine?”
“Is Lindsay Lohan fine? Tell me I’m wrong and then I’ll stop.”
On that topic, Michael and Dina are on the same page for once. He went on to play a voicemail recording on which Dina is heard expressing her concern for Lindsay.
“I’m telling you, Michael, time’s running out with this kid; I know it, I’m a mother, I feel it,” Dina said. “She needs to get to a psychiatrist’s office today. Even if she just talks about anything. So she feels like she’s helping herself.”
Lohan said, laughably, that he didn’t want to drag other people into this.
“I don’t want to say anything about her assistants and the people around her, but I think they’re turning a blind eye and that’s enabling,” Mike alleges.
“She went from such a vibrant, wonderful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, caring, loving and inspirational woman to the exact opposite.”
