The two-part interview segment with Michael Lohan on Showbiz Tonight (see part 1) continues with Michael talking about his issues with Dina, his strained relationship with his kids, about why he’s taking these issues public, and about Lindsay’s troubles. He gets pretty specific about Dina Lohan and how she’s keeping their children from bonding with him by cancelling appointments. In some ways, though, he’s not specific about how Dina is affecting the situation. And that makes the whole thing a little suspicious. First, more from part 1 (and I apologize in advance for ranting later on):
I can understand that Michael is frustrated that he has hit some stalls with his family, but Michael is abusing his own celebrity status, and that of his family, to get the attention of the court. Nobody else is afforded that kind of liberty, and I know that I wouldn’t look kindly on it if I were a judge. Regardless of whether or not Dina has a facade, or whether or not there are issues, I don’t believe family issues should be taken to such a public forum. Particularly with how much this public attention is likely to hurt the kids.
I think it’s also a bit egotistical to say that Michael is the sole reason that Lindsay is doing well or not. That is like saying that a seed can sprout with just water and not with sunshine. There are simply too many factors involved, and whether Michael is around or not around can’t be the sole factor contributing to Lindsay keeping out of trouble or not. Particularly when now is so much different for Lindsay, as an adult - Michael does need to realize that Lindsay doesn’t have to listen to him if he chooses to "put his foot down", as he states.
And now, more from part 2 of the interview:
In this post, Michael Lohan goes off about Lindsay’s friends and about Dina’s choice to do a reality tv show. Michael says he talks to Lindsay all the time, and that does honestly tell Lindsay that some of her friends may not be good friends.
