Dina Lohan, the mother of actress Lindsay Lohan, appeared today in the "Today" show for an interview with host Matt Lauer, and in a tense interview, they talked about Lindsay Lohan's problem, and Dina's view of parenthood, especially after seeing her doughter into trouble after trouble.
" The judge played hardball", She told Lauer. Lindsay rolled with the punches and she's doing wonderfully.
Dina Lohan, the mothr of Lindsay Lohan who never met a camera she didn't like, was a featured guest this morning on The Today Show where she was invited to talk about her daughter's current legal woes, including her currect 90 day stint in court-ordered rehab.
Dina, being Dina, seemed thrilled at the opportunity to appear on national television.
Dina Lohan is a piece of work, I'll tell you that. An argumentative Dina Lohan-placing the blame on the judge no longer on the case and staunchly defending the behaviour of her daughter Lindsay Lohan-appreared on Friday's Today show, declaring there was nothing wrong with her child.
As for Lindsay,24, today, "She 's changed," say her mother.
Asked what accounted for this change, Dina told Today's Matt Lauer, "Age. Living life. Knowing life. There are no standing court dates in Lohan's case. Pressed about her daughter's problems, Dina said, "That's all propaganda", and called tabloid coverage of Lindsay "pre-orchestrated. Unlike Julia Roberts and other stars, said Dina, Lindsay's behaviour in unfairly scrutinized. Asked if she's been there for her daughter-after a visibly frustrated Lauer first suggested that Dina, ex-husband Michael Lohan and Lindsay's friends "have done nothing to help Lindsay".
Dina said that part of a parent's responsibility is to grand a child her freedom. Moving forward, however, Dina said Lindsay will be coming home to New York. For now, in rehab,"She's great," said Dina.
