Michael Lohan: My Son Is Being Used as a 'Pawn'

By Marc Schneider Posted Sep 30th 2010 12:12PM

This week, the usually quiet Michael Lohan Jr. emerged and spoke out against so-called "enablers" and "leeches" that have plagued his sister, Lindsay Lohan, and who have presumably made the star's recovery from drug addiction tougher. No scandal there, right? Wrong, as the college grad's father Michael Lohan is now lashing out (yes, again) at ex-wife Dina, accusing her of using their son as a "mouthpiece" and "pawn" for her "BS."

"Being that Dina has been gagged due to her constant lies to the press, media, public, courts and people in general, she is using a normally quiet and innocent person as her mouthpiece," Lohan tells PopEater in a fiery statement. "First, to spread her BS, and second as her new pawn."

Why is Lohan feeling bruised and not happy that his namesake is sticking up for Lindsay, currently in rehab? It could be because of something the younger Michael did NOT say.

Michael Jr.'s statement on Wednesday to PEOPLE was filled with hopeful language, but it made a point to extract his father from mentions of family-based support. "We -- her mother, brothers, and sister -- have been there for Lindsay every step of the way -- despite what trashy news reports -- and will continue to give her our support and strength during these arduous times."

The elder Michael also issues complaints that Dina is corrupting his son into shunning a life in business for an acting career.

"While my wonderful son studied as a straight-A business major in college -- and I got him offers from two Wall Street firms -- Dina now has been pitching a movie she is 'producing' with Michael as the starring role. Michael is the best person Dina has in her corner and she is even using him. Her own son! And it goes deeper! How sick is this."

This week, Michael also made the claim that Dina was conspiring to put their troubled daughter under a conservatorship, so he is considering filing a petition himself.

"It is being worked on and NO I will not be conservator but I will be damned if [manager] Lou Taylor or Dina are co-conservators," he told us. "I just want Lindsay's life and career to be guided by people who are in it with their hearts, NOT their hands."

With that comment, Michael makes it clear he believes his ex-wife is trying to manage their daughter's money and affairs, but he tells us she is no condition to do the job.

Speaking of leeches. How about Dina earning all her income from Lindsay? How about Dina's innocent mother "Nana," who Dina uses the money she gets from Lindsay to support? How about her ex-con brother Paul (who defrauded the 911 Victims fund for $1,000,000) and borrowed $50,000 from Dina but never paid it back? How about Dina's security "forces" paid for by Lindsay? And how about ME? Who never took or borrowed one cent from Lindsay? Instead, I gave Dina the house with over $1,000,000 in equity, [as well as] $250,000 to cover the expenses for three years. While Dina owes my family over $100,000 and landscapers, contractors, the pool company!"

This entire scenario called family Lohan needs to be censored from the public media. They are total exhibit A of family dysfunction. A total waste of time and credibility. "Got him two job offers on Wall Street?" What a bunch of elitist enablers. They enable their own down the dark deep path of dependency. Sick. And depressing.

By LOL

Why don't they just cut both Dina and Michaels tongues out! That would definitely put an end to the public drama.

By Erin Brower

this whole Family Is Screwed up!!!

By LittleMo

You have to laugh when the brother says all these people have been there with Lindsay all along and it's the people who have been there all along who have enabled a habit that is well on its way to killing her. It's a pathetically sad state of affairs when it's somebody like Michael Lohan is the one who makes the most sense.

By tony c

What is our chances of seeing Linsey with her camel toe getting out of a limo? Like Britney did. Never mind it's not worth the BS for that even.

who cares im tired of hearing about these losers. Put her and jail forever and ever. Report on news that actually matters cuz this crap doesnt.

By wren

As this family of hers keeps opening their mouths and flinging sh*t at one another, it is extremely understandable that Lindsey would be as FUed as she is. They are all a bunch of leeches afraid to lose their meal ticket. I do not know anyone who can handle that kind of bloodsucking from family members. Lindsey, stay in rehab and away from your family until you realize that even though you are related to them it does not mean you have to like them...support them...or carry their shame! Why doesn't social services step in on the remaining kids? Oh, that's right...they are our entertainment and their parents paycheck.

Dina = MILF!

By Rob

As much as I hate to say this he is right this time. She needs to get her Mother out of her life because she is the biggest LEACH of them all. All she is doing is USING her Son this time to get at LL's Money and Fame.

By lynden

what a horrible mother Dina is.

By penny

didn't even know there WAS a son !!!

By Tom

All she is doing is setting up her next MEAL TICKET. Because she knows ONCE Lindsay DIES and at this rate it is a matter of IF but WHEN. She is going to have SUCK one of her other Kids BLOOD to keep her lifestyle going. Another thing is PEOPLE need to stop thinking of Lindsay as an OBJECT and think of her as PERSON who has issues just like every one else. Lindsay I think this is the time that you just should disapear from the public eye and work on your issues. Then be the PHENOX that RISES FROM the DARKNESS STRONGER than EVER. Seek Britney out and ask her to help guide you through these tough times after all look how she turned her life around.

By Lee

You are 100% right it is about time people start thinking of her as a person instead of an object.

By lidia
