The Celebrity Truth

Michael Lohan has again talked to the media regarding his war of words with daughter Lindsay and her girlfriend Samantha Ronson, rather than taking it behind closed doors.

The ongoing battle started when Lohan told E! News that Ronson was “using my daughter,” after reports she was set to write a tell-all book about their relationship.

Ronson responded to the comments on her Myspace, Lindsay told Access Hollywood, “He’s out of control,” Lohan then talked to ABC News denying he’s out of control and Lindsay also took to her MySpace.

The latest round comes from OK! magazine where Lohan released the following statement:

“When I first spoke out, I clearly stated that everything I said and my concerns were generated by my ex-wife, Dina… After a recent phone call from Lindsay while she was traveling on one of Samantha’s DJ gigs, I became very concerned. It was then that we all agreed to have a mother/daughter/father sit-down when Lindsay got to NY.

“Everything was arranged and agreed (I have dozens of texts and recordings with Dina to prove it). But when the time came on Sunday, Dina chose to go into NYC and have dinner with Sam, Sam’s mother and Lindsay, rather than address real issues and make things better for Lindsay.

“A day later, Dina told me that Sam was writing a book, that Sam was a negative influence on Lindsay and that Sam needs to be out of Lindsay’s life….then she asked me how to do it!!

“Matters became worse when Dina said Lindsay was in REAL danger and she needed to save her and get Lindsay into ‘a place!’ Theses are ALL Dina’s words. Tell me, what father wouldn’t be concerned and even pissed at Sam after hearing this!!???

“To even imagine that Dina would then go on vacation is even more sickening! Should we actually believe a women who says she doesn’t party with Lindsay, get drunk or care about fame? She has been on video and photographed dozens of times with Lindsay, drunk in public, thrown out of events, had public fights with Lindsay and then does a reality show which was so far from the truth, it’s disgusting!

“Dina cares? PLEASE!!!! Lindsay was once stalked by a guy [name deleted] — who Dina trusted and I said from the get go that I didn’t— only for Dina to look the other way when I had to get a task force to track him down.

“Dina took a percentage of Lindsay’s money when I NEVER took a red cent! All the while, I only speak out when something is wrong or needs to be made right!

“Dina is a money-loving, fame-seeking, self-serving deceiver, who comes from roots of the same.

“Meanwhile they say I seek fame! Ha! I am out there doing charity work, going on mission trips, working with the United Nations and trying to help my daughter while spending sleepless nights with a father dying of cancer. Did Dina call my dad, or have the kids visit or send a card to a man who never hurt a fly? NO! Dina raised all this alarm and caused this whole thing!

“While guilt may bring a response by some, others like Dina pass the buck and don’t accept any responsibility at all.

“All I want is for Lindsay to be healthy and in a good relationship! I want her to use the gifts she has in the best ways and to help others! I said it from the very beginning: Show me who you walk with and I will tell you who you are! People may deceive us, but our eyes and facts don’t! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!”
