Celebrity Justice
Lindsay's Dad to TMZ: "I'm Partly Responsible"

Posted Jul 24th 2007 11:11AM by TMZ Staff

Michael Lohan, Lindsay's estranged dad, who was recently released from a two-year stint in a New York state prison over a DUI, tells TMZ that he's partly to blame for his daughter's constant problems with drugs, booze and the law.

In an exclusive conversation with TMZ, Lindsay's dad said that he doesn't believe that the 21-year-old can survive this latest DUI storm on her own, and wants to put the nasty custody fight with his estranged wife Dina on hold, in a last ditch effort to save their daughter's life. "I want to withdraw everything -- court wise -- sit down with Dina as Lindsay's parents and figure out how to help her," Lohan said. "Lindsay can't do this on her own ... when we were together, none of this was happening."

Last month, a Nassau County Family Court judge ordered Michael and Dina to see a family therapist as part of an ongoing custody war over their two children, Ali, 13 and Dakota, 11. The couple was also ordered to stop speaking negatively of each other in front of their kids and undergo counseling at a hearing on Monday.

TMZ also contacted Lindsay's mother Dina, who had no comment.

3. Mommy has no comment. Ya I bet she doesn't. She hasn't been seen anywhere near Lindsay since she went to rehab the first time ~ she is a P.O.S as a mother ~ she is more concerned with pimping her other children and her own reality show. Although, with Lindsay doing the kind of drugs she is doing ~ she could very well be pushing her mother away or not want her near her ~ who knows, we don't know the whole story.

6. Daddy is making some sense. Mama Dina is probably on the phone trying to cut a business deal turning this drama into a well paying reality show.

7. Too late, losers. They should all go move to a trailer in the deep south and leave us alone. They deserve each other.

8. Hey look Daddy found his way back into the news..... maybe you and your wife can get your own reality show while your daughter kills herself with drugs and alcohol.

9. This is truly truly sad. I'm afraid there will be only tragedy from this situation.

10. I feel truly bad for him. It hurts like hell to see a child go through substance abuse. I really hope she gets help, because I don't think she will live long the way she is going.

12. is her dad responsible for the whippits (nitrous oxide containers) found under her bed in rehab? i think not. she is one of these morons who has to lose everything to get it. i hope she does lose everything, she's a pathetic materialistic loser.

13. Here we go again, Dad is and will be pinpointed for someone who was brought up as Hollywood's next big star. Lindsay will get whom ever involved so that the blame can be on poor Daddy and Mommy for their break up. LINDSEY is grown up acts like a child as most girls do at her age, however not as drastic as her, to much drama LINDSEY leave DAD AND MOM out of your problems and start taking responsibility.

14. Well when one family member is a lowlife, pretty much the rest of the family are ones too.
