Dina Lohan gave an “exclusive” interview to Radar in which I think she’s trying to deny Lindsay Lohan’s extensive financial and credit problems, but Dina ends up just being tragically hilarious. There’s actual video of Dina saying this sh-t, just so you know (video here), but Radar provided a handy transcript of the denial. First of all, Dina will have you know that Lindsay is not $600,000 in debt, and she knows this because she is “in contact with Lindsay’s business managers every day.” Of course Dina is. Because she’s still living off her daughter. However, although Dina claims that Lindsay is too focused on spending her money to actual pay attention to her money, Dina admits that “you know, a bill may be a little late or not, you know, but that’s pretty normal. That happens to me, that happens to everyone.” Granted. But I don’t have $600,000 bills.
Additionally, Dina denies that Lindsay is out every night clubbing and partying and getting f-cked up. Dina basically claims that we’re using images of Lindsay from one night over and over again. Ah… we’re not, Dina. Trust me. She also calls Lindsay a “child” again. Oh, and this is the best quote ever: “She has her 6126 clothing line which is doing amazing. We’re in Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales… she designs everything from soup to nuts.” Quote of the year!
Dina Lohan is going on the record about her daughter Lindsay’s reported financial troubles. In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, the Lohan matriarch denies her daughter owes $600,000 in credit card debt, but does reveal that there have been some shakeups among those keeping tabs on Lindsay’s bank account.
“She is not going into credit card debt. Absolutely not. And her business managers… I actually am in contact with them every day,” Dina told RadarOnline.com. “And you know Lindsay will spend money but she has people that run what she does. We had another manager that we’ve now moved. We kind of cleaned house and we have somebody else who… I mean everyone was great but we just needed to clean house and start over. So Lindsay doesn’t really pay her bills. Someone else does, so they wouldn’t let her do that.
“And in the interim, you know, a bill may be a little late or not, you know, but that’s pretty normal. That happens to me, that happens to everyone,” Dina continues. “Lindsay isn’t in charge of her finances, other people are and we are keeping a close eye on the people who are managing her.”
When it comes to reports of Lindsay’s all-night partying, Dina says the stories are fabricated and overblown.
“People don’t understand how the press manipulates and how they make something look as it seems when it’s completely opposite,” she told RadarOnline.com. “What you read in the press is completely fabricated. If a girl… any child… a girl in the business goes out one night, you’ll see magazines for the next two weeks and they’re wearing the same outfit. So it’s the same night!”
Despite Dina’s positive outlook on Lindsay’s current life, there is no denying that in recent years, the actress’ film roles have declined significantly both in quantity and quality. Her last movie Labor Pains, went straight to DVD. Is Lindsay hurting for money? Dina says absolutely not.
“She has her 6126 clothing line which is doing amazing,” she says. “We’re in Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales… she designs everything from soup to nuts. She just signed a deal with a hand bag company-same company- and it’s flourishing. She also has her Sevin Nyne tanning spray and a couple of movie offers in the pike.”
Is Dina in a state of denial? Maybe. Or maybe she would just rather deal with her family’s personal issues behind closed doors.
“I’m not going to talk about any personal issues with my children,” she says. “But I’m speaking for any single mother or couples across the world, when I say that I just want my kids to be healthy, happy and safe. I’m a religious person and I pray for them all the time. But you have to let them go. You have to let them fall and get hurt and then get back up and then be there for them. I really don’t like going back but it’s time that we have to stand up for ourselves and tell the truth, and the facts are the facts.”

I’m still laughing at the “from soup to nuts” line. How much would you pay for “Blohan Peanuts”? How about “Lindsay’s Tomato Bisque, With Crack”? Or “The Milkaholic’s Clam Chowder”? What kills me though is that after Dina goes on and on in her delusional way about how Lindsay is JUST FINE and explains everything in detail, Dina then falls back onto the “I’m not going to talk about it” line. Dina, the jig is up. Take care of your kids. Get Ali away from Lindsay, lest Ali go down with the sinking ship.
How can she possibly think that gossip sites are using pictures from the same night over and over again? Unless Lindsay feels the need to change into 20 craptastic outfits in a night and get photographed in them every 5 minutes…
No wonder Lindsay is so delusional: she’s learned from the best. My thing is if she’s spending so much outfits, how come she can’t buy something that looks “nice”?
Um, Dina? You can’t make something “look as it seems.” It either is or it isn’t.
Yeah, I’d say that if denial was a 3rd world country, Dina would be “Dictator for Life” of Denial.
And “Soup to Nuts” is the name of a comic strip. Maybe they should sue the little milkaholic’s mom…
Seems to me Dina designed (and gave birth to) at least one nut. Time will tell if there are others.
Such parasites. Go away already. In every photo Lindsay behaves and dresses like she still matters. I won’t be surprised if she turns up dead from an overdose. This has been going on long enough already – she will never change. Who is funding her lifestyle? Is she a prostitute for sheikhs or something?
Lindsay walks around like she is such a hottie when in actuality, she looks way older than her years and extremely skanky. Yuck! She looks greasy and dirty and her lips look so ridiculous. At this point, she is “famous” for being a drugged out, trashy low-life and that is really a shame because at one time, she had promise. It is up to her now…she can blame it all on circumstances, but that only explains how she got this way. It is not an excuse to stay this way. Many others have overcome the same or worse parenting and experiences and now lead lives of which they can be proud.
Her mother looks old and beat and I find her disgusting. I have zero respect for her as a mother and IMO, she sounds like a moron!
Lindsay looks so much like Kate Middleton in that last photo, right?
^^ She wishes! Kate Middleton looks like a healthy socialite, LL… not so much…
Did Dina really say “in the pike”? What a weird phrase
She designs everything from a food item to…well, another food item.
Hahaha, stupidest quote of the year, right there. I honestly believe that Dina Lohan might be the dumbest woman on the planet.
As a mother, this woman infuriates me. I understand that you may not want to air your child’s dirty laundry to the press-and behind the scenes you may be trying to get them into rehab-but then stfu. Just don’t comment at all. She is beyond disgusting.
Have u really never heard the expression “from soup to nuts?”
Im not sure who is more disgusting and pathetic, LL or her mother.
@Marta – Wow, that IS a real expression.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_to_nuts
However, after reading that…Dina Lohan STILL used it wrong. Hahahaha.
Yeah, “from soup to nuts” is an old phrase meaning the whole caboodle, from start to finish, etc; it’s not something Dina made up.
Everything else though really IS entirely made up. Does she honestly believe that every picture of her kid out clubbing, coking, skanking around LA for the past year and more is a fraud, a re-run of one bad night Lindsay had before she sobered up and became this superpowered fashion genius mogul artiste?
Lunatic. No wonder Lindsay still thinks she’s doing ok with a fantasist like this apologising for her.
Well, she is #15 on the “Dead Pool” list! I have never seen a mother in more denial than Dina Lohan. If something happens to Lilo, her money train is gone………..over.
I don’t know, I just can’t see Dinah as that bad person…
For someone who deals with a husband, than ex-husbund, completely abusive, than a daughter that has drug addiction, it’s must not be easy.
I prefer don’t judge her.
For me its obvius that she is very aware about Lindsay’s addictions, she just give herself the right to not talk about this to the press…
Of course she makes mistakes, but who r everybody to judge that much? Lindsay or Dinah don’t affect me personally, I won’t kick dead dods, just don’t!
I don’t know Lil, I think Dina is a major enabler, and willingly overlooked all the warning signs with Lindsay because she was too busy living vicariously through her and trying to make her other kid famous too. Even after everything that has come to light, she’s still making excuses for her, but not actually helping her. It’s really sad.
So, Dina, if these ‘craptastic’ (thank you Roma!)photos are all from the same night, is your ‘child’ some kind of a magician? She must be if her hair is all different colors in these ‘fabricated and duplicated’ photos.
I wish you would spend as much time being concerned about her drug problems as you do with her money problems.
Shame on you as a mother……..
I think Dina is a major enabler and I think poor Ali looks like a 14 year old boy in DRAG. Gonna check out Dead Pool list and Soup to Nuts comic strip. 🙂
she looks very “tara reid” in those coachella pics!!
Dina was misquoted, what she meant to say is that LiLo ‘LICKS everything from soup to nuts’.
@ TaylorB: HAHAHAH!
Is Dina looking a lot bloated, or is it just me? Like mother, like daughter.
I have several problems with her comments.
1. If she is a religious person, then why is she blatantly lying? Every day you see pictures of Lindsay’s night out.
2. If Lindsay has a business manager paying her bills and she is making money, then her bills should never be late. If her bills are late, then the manager should be fired. Period.
3. The whole bit of letting go of your children to let them make their own mistakes is right for most people. However, the mistake may end in Lindsay’s death and having Ali witness it. Dina threw Lindsay to the wolves at an early age to appease her and keep her in the money-making mode. She has previously said she made a mistake for letting Lindsay live on her own at a young age but she does the same thing with Ali. (I know she is living with Lindsay. Enough said.) How stupid is this woman? Why isn’t child services investigating this situation?
Dina is disgusting. She and that low life ex-husband should have worked to support the family instead of living off of them.
Sorry about the long post. Every time Dina speaks, I want to hurl. She is crazy! No wonder Lindsay is so messed up.
I am so thankful that I have wonderful parents.
“1. If she is a religious person, then why is she blatantly lying? Every day you see pictures of Lindsay’s night out”
this is not to mention, people who ARE, in fact, religious, don’t feel the need to announce the fact that they are religious.
hahahahaha….bahahahahaha…I wish my mother was this uninvolved in my life
meth mom!
I have a feeling there WAS a business manager, but there isn’t anymore. I bet either they told her to stop spending and she didn’t like that and fired them, or she didn’t pay them and they quit. That, plus her not working, probably led to the bills piling up.
Praise wrote: “this is not to mention, people who ARE, in fact, religious, don’t feel the need to announce the fact that they are religious.”
So true, the people who are most inclined to shove their faux faith in your face and brand you a ‘sinner’ are most likely snorting coke off the back of a ditch pig truck stop hooker every friday night.
Yeah, Dina is showing some of the wear & tear of Lindsey’s life. Maybe she won’t admit it, or protect Ali, but the strain is showing.
What Dina MEANT to say is:
“I watch The Soup to see what kind of trouble my daughter is in – and it usually involves some guy’s Nuts.”
I couldn’t agree with happymom more, well said! I find Dina disgusting, no wonder LiLo is such a mess. So sad.
@Beck, I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe her “business managers” are being paid in coke, and are now functioning on Lindsay’s level.
