Michael Lohan: 'Forget Jail, Lindsay Needs Rehab'

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 23rd 2011 11:22AM

After testing positive for alcohol while under house arrest, Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to return to court Thursday morning for violating her probation terms. And, right on time, Lohan's media regular father, Michael Lohan, is speaking out about his daughter's inability to stay on the straight and narrow or surround herself with positive influences.

"If it's true, whatever she's doing isn't right," Lohan told PopEater's Rob Shuter. "There's a chubby English girl named Nikki who is always around her and when she is, I get a sick feeling and there is always a problem."

Just over a week ago Lohan threw a party on the roof of her Venice, California home. The troubled starlet, who was still under house arrest at that time, looked to be enjoying herself as did her friends -- Lohan was spotted drinking from a red cup while her friends enjoyed beers and wine.

Just days after her rooftop shindig, Lohan told Life & Style that although she hosts friends at her home occasionally, their socializing never revolves around alcohol.

"When my friends come over, they're not drinking," she said. "Alcohol is not in my house, so it's not part of my life."

The disconnect between what Lohan says and does is what keeps her father up at night.

"I'm so worried about my daughter," Michael Lohan told Radar Online. "I'm very, very concerned about the people around Lindsay and the pressure being put upon her. If it turns out that the test was positive, then I have strong concerns because if a person can't stay straight in the house where can she stay straight?"

But when it comes to Lindsay's violated probation due to a failed routine alcohol test, father Lohan is fearful that a judge may rule to send his daughter to the slammer -- a decision he believes could only further harm her. Instead, he has his own ideas for Lindsay's recovery.

"I'm still opposed to jail," he said. "She needs to go to rehab. She needs to be in a program called G&G Holistic in Florida. They will not only give her rehabilitation, but they are a detoxification center and they don't believe in prescription drugs. I don't think Lindsay needs to be on any prescription drugs, and I think that's part of the problem."

Although Lohan was expected to complete her house arrest time on June 29, with her pending Thursday court appearance, the starlet could be sentenced to additional house arrest or even jail time.

Check out the photo below of Lindsay and friends partying on her roof -- look closely to see a beer bottle and wine glasses lined up against the railing.

Brazen, feeling of intitlement, chutzpah, insanity who knows??

Look if you are on probation with explicit instructions to stay
on the straight and narrow or face the can, would you have ANY party at least until it blows over. She seriously belives she can get over on anyone including the judge, why? because she has in the past.............

She is an adult and she can not blame her parents. You accept responsibility for your own life. My father was an alcoholic, I chose to take a far different path because of it.

That "chubby English chick" Nikki was on the reality show Thintervention with Jackie Werner. Total alcoholic!!!

They both need to go to jail. Quit putting there mugs on the news and both need to go to jail. I am not talking a weekend either. 6months to a year of normal jail. Then lets see how things are.

Forget rehab. She needs jail. In rehab she'll get drugs to help with the drug and alcohol abuse. How do you get over one thing by getting on another? In jail, she'll have to go without anything and probably have a better chance at getting rid of her addiction.

I wish the media would stop taking pics of all the Lohans and writing stories about them. I hope I'm not speaking for myself when I say, we don't care about any of them and wish they'd go away. Clearly, Linday doesn't want help. Let her self destruct.

By MISS SWEET D

WOW daddy boy sure has a lot to say about what needs to be done to help treat his skanky daughter, but where was he and her mom when she was growing up. Oh yea dad wasn't around and mom was busy partying and clubbing with her. so now it is everyone elses fault for her addictions and skanky behavior. Daddy lohan i have 4 words for u, STFU!!!!

How many more rehabs before one finally sticks with this broad.

By hislonv

Throw her in jail for at least 2 years without the possibility of early release. No visitors for the first 60 days. Bare bones survival. No TV. Give her a job cleaning toilets and mopping floors. Bring her down to the level of typical inmates and let her see how much better she had it until she decided to be a drunk drug addict.

By klm

Yeah, because it worked so well for her before??? What a joke! If this was just a regular Joe, they would have been thrown in jail a long time ago

By shirl

For God sake daddy, STOP enabling that child. Rehab has already proven worthless for her, house arrest is a job.. This child needs to accept her actions and go to jail, maybe that will straighten her up

By Felice

Really - why is this news?

By Mike

JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!

By Sherry

He is insane. Both of her parents constantly play the blame game. "Chubby Nikki" isn't holding the bottle to her mouth and pouring. Lindsay needs to get it together. I have loved her for years and truly wish her the best, but it just seems that she'll never clean up her act and get back to work. She's a talented actress, but is throwing it all away and it's sad.

By dirtyrat07

3-5 years should get her "THE TREATMENT" she really deserves.and not in L.A.County,where all her "friends" live.put her in Rickers
Island.then she'll get the message...

Lindsay is a BIG loser, this whole thing is a BIG,BIG JOKE........put HER in JAIL and give HER THE MAX.....she will never learn anything if not given the Max.........

By larry

How many times has the bimbo been in rehab....I don't care about this skank one way or the other.......They must jail her because she is out of control...........If she kills herself who cares but the problem is she is so irresponsible she may get into a car and drive it drunk and finally kill someone else.........The public needs protection from people like her........Put her in a state mental institution for a year where they can really rehab her........

By Ambo

LOL. She's already done rehab. But she hasn't done a good jail sentence yet! :D Dooooo it.
