Michael Lohan calls Dina’s show exploitative, hypocritical, and deceptive


I love when good ‘ol Mom and Pop Lohan start bashing each other, because it’s guaranteed to be an orgy of hypocrisy. And who doesn’t relish that? The funkier looking Lohan’s (that’s Dina… it took me a while to decide who was funkier looking, but Dina’s mouth takes the cake) ass-tastic show Living Lohan premiered on E! last night.

And just because they like to stir the shit, OK Magazine thought it would be kind to give Michael Lohan a screener and ask for his thoughts. Now we know Michael is usually pretty reticent about judging and telling people how to live, since he’s an out and proud born-again Christian. But he made an exception for OK, and shared a few restrained opinions in an email with them.

Soooooo, you want a comment on the first episode of Living Lohan? Well, let’s see… If I were to look at things from a wordly perspective, I would probably have a lot to say about exploitation, hypocrisy and even deception — and maybe at a later date, I might just do so. For now, let’s just say I’m still trying to figure out if this show is about managing Ali’s career and being a “real” mother, or reading tabloids.

I’ve had a sneak peek at some future episodes and I will say that some of the people Dina surrounds the kids with still concerns me — again, I can address that when they appear on the show. I just hope Dina takes the high road — like a Lohan would — and rights these wrongs.

If this show is about the being a mother and a manager, the most important thing is to set a good example by instilling positive values, and doing what’s right for the kid’s sake. Not for our own! I wish Ali, Cody and Dina the best on the show and pray that they get what they want out of it.

I love all the “you suck, you’re terrible, you’re doing the wrong thing,” blah blah blahness, followed by, “I hope it makes you happy!” Because I’m totally sure Michael really does. Ending an otherwise critical email with a bland, generic catchall positive quote doesn’t exactly negate the other seven (really long) sentences.

Dina’s been out doing a ton of hypocritical press, so Michael’s thoughts on her aren’t exactly novel. If nothing else, Living Lohan is a great way to make sure that Dina never regains a shred of dignity or credibility, and ensures that her younger kids will never have successful careers of their own. But hey, Lindsay is doing so well, I’m sure they can all just live off her. Michael included, of course.

    Okay wait, aren’t dina and michael divorced? Think about how strange it is that she keeps his last name…

    Like in the real world that would be soooo strange for them to bash eachother while she still holds that torch for him.

    But in their world completely different rules apply and she’s actually carrying a torch for LINDSAY by keeping that last name… so she can make a quick buck.

    He’s as much to blame for the downward spiral of the Lohan girls as the mother. And he’s profiting off of it as well so he has nothing to say. Hypocrite.

    Did anyone actually watch it ? I had better things to do, like barbecue, softball and beer.

  3. Syko says:

    mollination, most women who divorce their husband’s father keep his last name. It’s not important, since so many remarry and have different last names anyway, but I kept my married name simply because I had three children living with me who had that name, and it was easier to have the same name as them.

    In working for a divorce lawyer for five years, I would say not more than two or three of the divorced women took a different name after the divorce.

    Yet another reason for me to keep my own name when we gat married…

    I hope Ali & Cody turn out better than their slut-bag sister, but I’m not holding my breath

  5. Larissa says:

    me neither Bodhi, me neither…

  6. Codzilla says:

    I love this line from Mikey’s rant: “I just hope Dina takes the high road — like any Lohan would …”

    Because more than anything, this family is known for choosing dignity before degradation. Barf.

  7. Syko says:

    Codzilla, that one caught my eye too. The Lohans – America’s standard for impeccable behavior!

  8. Because I say So says:

    Can we nominate the Lohans to be our American ambassadors all over the world? I think they would do a fantastic job of showing what can be accomplished with self-tanner, bleach, a few years in prison and a Bible! The American dream! 😆
