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!"

Dina and Michael need to FIND PEACE WITH EACH OTHER for the sake of their family. How can they expect to be successful in saving Linsay when they were unsuccessful in saving their marriage and relationship with each other? PLEASE! LET GO OF YOUR EGOS, VANITIES AND money-hungry pockets and deal with the BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF ALL - and that is to PROVE TO LINSAY AND YOUR CHILDREN that you can succeed at being human beings and parents!
TRY IT. You might find that it works. Work on yourselves and each other. This is the BEST example you can give to your children.

Linsays father is trying to fight for his daughter...its a mess...I am happy he is taking the time to try his best...what was in the past, is in the past for him...he now knows what he has to do...Just because someone had a bad past, doesnt mean they cant pick up and wash off and start again......its all a mess...they need to go far away and be with each other as a family...try to find some peace, some plan for survival....its so sad.....Once the media takes a hold of you....its awful, just ask Britany.....she was once the victim of hell...sorry Lindsay, please try and get out of this mess you have weaved.....or you wont be here long to enjoy everyone who loves you......My family had a terrible time with a family member who chose life like you and it hurts everyone around you.......I hope you live long enough to know it....praying for you...try to focus on life instead of being brain dead from drugs...its not worth it.....

Would someone please flush all these turds down the sewer its really stickin.

By fun4rae

they wouldnt be in the news so much if the father would keep his mouth shut and his nose out of their business. What would HE do with his life if he didnt have the media to talk to all the time? And WHAT DOES HE DO FOR A LIVING ANYWAY? Just sell stories to the press.

Why is Dina Lohan always "posing" when she is in a picture. Who's the movie star, Lindsey or Dina? Does she think she is still a young New York Rockette dancer?

By Wayne

Poor Lindsay, being used financially by her parents for her entire career,must be suffering more than most can understand. It would be a good thing if Michael Lohan will let go, shut up, stop what he has been doing for several years, get a real job and leave Lindsay alone....period! Michael has proven over and over that his behavior is abusive. And maybe responsible for much of Lindsay's mental state and her negative lifestyle. I wish he would just shut-up and let his daughter enjoy her life without all of his years of bullying her and others. I wish the best for Lindsay and hope she someday will have peace and quiet from her father.

By doc

why is he not sharing his drugs.

By HELPME

No wonder Lindsy has such a problem,she can't even count on her parents love for her. It appears as though they only truly love her money.

By john

She may be surronded by enabelers, but sooner or later she's going to have to grow up and take responsability for her actions. Thats what adults do you can't keep blaming somebody else for your screw ups.
