OK! EXCLUSIVE: MICHAEL LOHAN'S RESPONSE TO ALI LOHAN


Michael Lohan stopped by the OK! office today, July 26, to set the record straight and respond to his daughter Ali’s allegations that he is the reason for Lindsay’s latest legal woes.

OK!: What is the first thing that went through your mind when you heard about Ali’s letter?

Michael Lohan: I said get me on the phone with David Kaplan. For Ali to say that I was never there and I’m lying...People who have known us for 25 years know that I have always been there for my kids. These lies have got to stop because they are having an effect on my children. We don’t realize in life is that what I do affects my kids.

OK!: Is it a chain reaction?

Michael: Absolutely, it’s a reciprocal effect, it’s like a pebble in a pond. Everyone gets affected by it, but we don’t realize it and I certainly didn’t in my life and I should have. Now you get these things on VH-1 being written by my daughter Ali. Ali was too young to remember any of this. And you know what, reflect back on Lindsay’s soundtrack, "Daughter to Father, Confessions of a Broken Heart," read the words — "I wait for the postman to bring me a letter, I wait for the good lord to make me better, I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders, a family in crisis that only gets older." And then she goes on to say, "where are you now daddy I love you, I love you." It’s a story of love and caring about a father.

OK!: You just want your daughters to be happy? In the end that’s what a father wants for their children, to be happy?

Michael: I just wanted to help. You know I just wanted to be there for my kids and make Lindsay a success. She’s blessed and gifted.

OK!: Are you proud of Lindsay?

Michael: Lindsay is my daughter, I love her to death. You know if I could serve the time for her in jail I would myself, if they allowed me to I would. If I could die for my kids I would. I gladly, without a blink of an eye, give my life for my children. And that’s what it’s about, loving my kids.

I really think that Dina & Michael should a) stop enroling their kids in their custody battle & b) carry it out in private.... Can't WE petition the courts for it to be held in camera like the Baldwin/Bassenger case?

... Gee, OK magazine has been kept busy for the last week hasn't it?

[Lily]

Can't these people just shut it and deal with their problems? Sweet bearded Moses.

[lisalucy69]

He seems like a tool, but it does appear to me that Dina is filling the kids' heads full of shit.

[buttmunch]

^^Agree on both counts. And yes, why don't they keep this between themselves? Although something tells me the nutty mother probably blocks communication between teh kids and the dad.

[Dorahacky]

Dina and Michael seem to be far too busy acting self-righteous for the media to have any time for either of their kids.

[buttmunch]

Nothing like having parents who act like their still back in high school, with the dramatic breakups, teh she said/he said crap and the public dissection of everything. What a pair these two are.

And they wonder why Lindsay is having the problems she's having....

Look at her "role models"

[Lily]

^But Lindsay is still responsible for her own decisions. Every single person in this family is a narcissist, that much is clear.

I agree completely. But perhaps if her parents had spent more time being "real" parents instead of drug-abusing "stage" parents, things might have turned out differently...

[buttmunch]

^^That's what I've been saying right along. When your parents use you as a breadwinner from an early age and teach you nothing, while your 'role models' are Hollywood dirtbags and you're on your own amongst them from the age of sixteen, you might have a haerd time with reality. Unfortunately she jsut got a whopper of a reality check...hopefully she'll sort it out and distance herself from her loony parents.

"It’s a story of love and caring about a father."

umm did he even see the "Confessions" video?! It's a story of an absent father who scares Lindsay and makes her hide out in a bathroom!

[potato_chips]

The crabs in her fire crotch probably gives her more love and attention than both her delusional parents.

[roslyntaberfan]

I'm SO BORED of this family!!!!

I don't find Lindsay interesting at all, and I'm so sick of hearing about all her family crap.

I would love a moratorium on Lindsay et al like we had on Brangelina for a while.

[crackho]

I sense that he's having hard time getting near his kids any other way and sees the rags as a good way to spread the word that he now cares. How touching.

Yawn.
