Posted Nov 4th 2009 2:30PM by TMZ Staff

Lindsay Lohan Micheal LohanLindsay Lohan has now asked her lawyer to take legal action against her dad, stat.

We've learned Lindsay contacted her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, yesterday, asking her to get a restraining order against Michael Lohan, who has been selling his daughter out on TV, talking about her alleged drug use.

Chapman Holley tells TMZ she's putting together a case against Michael and will decide which legal move makes the most sense. Aside from getting a restraining order, Chapman Holley could file a defamation lawsuit against Michael on Lindsay's behalf.

Chapman Holley is also getting in touch with authorities in New York, trying to find out if Michael may have violated a criminal protective order.

2. If Lilo sues Daddy for defamation he could probably get a discovery order to get her to take a drug test. This could really bite her in the ass.

5. Even though I think the dad a jerk for selling out his own daughter. How can she win a deformation of character lawsuit (since the world knows she on drugs or something) I am confused?

6. Thank god, its about time. Now if they can just find a muzzle big enough to fit his inflated head? Where is Michael Landon when you need him, if ever there was a need for a model father in a situation, I'm just sayin'...

7. I can see Dad snitching on his daughter, especially if he cares about her health and well being..But being the dirty little person she is I would expect nothing less from this type of daughter...She's evil....

8. To #5, truth is not necessarily a defense to a defamation action. Gossip is also not a consitutionally protected right either, although people think it is.

10. I think it's time to cut his tongue out! That will shut this douche of a "dad" up!

11. I have NO sympathy for her at all. She is a drug and alcohol addict who has had several opportunities to get help and stay sober. She chooses this life and must take what comes with being a washed up soon to be Hollywood nobody.

Sorry Linds, all good things must come to an end.....for example, your "acting" career. At least her dad tries to help her-she is just tired of being brought to task and looking bad, which she can do all on her own.

12. Linsay's father and mother both ruined her life. Just look at her, she's an old hag.

13. Didn't they find cocaine in her jeans and she said they were not her pants?
She looks extremely old at such a young age. No one needs to say she is doing drugs. It is obvious.
How come she gets special treatment from the judicial system?

14. He has already sold taped conversations to Radar. I thought it was against the law to voice record someone without their knowledge?

15. If Lindsay would stop GOING TO BARS every fricking night, maybe people would stop assuming that she's off the wagon.
