Famewhore dad Michael Lohan showed up at Lindsay Lohan’s Los Angeles apartment today, accompanied by the County Sherriff. The estranged dad of hot mess Lindsay and hot mess-in-training Ali, 16, said he was there to check in on his younger daughter. More than likely, Lohan saw the photographs taken of Lindsay and Ali at Coachella last weekend, in which Lindsay looked totally wasted. He has also heard reports of a car transporting both daughters back from that show that was traveling at speeds of 100 miles an hour.
TMZ has learned the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department just showed up at Lindsay Lohan’s apartment accompanied by Michael Lohan to check on Lindsay’s sister’s welfare.
Sources tell TMZ Michael went to the Sheriff’s Department and said 16-year-old Ali Lohan was staying with Lindsay and he was concerned for her safety.
Lindsay just tweeted she is angry at building management for letting the cops and Michael in.
Michael, we’re told, convinced deputies to go to Lindsay’s pad to do a “welfare check” on Ali.
We’re told Ali was in the apartment and deputies spoke with her. Deputies left and Ali was allowed to stay with Lindsay.
We’re told Michael is now going to the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services, per the advice of the Sheriff’s Department.
Sources say Michael made a “compelling case” to Sheriff’s deputies — we’re told Michael told deputies Ali was in Lindsay’s car on the way back from Coachella and the car was going over 100 mph.
We’re told Dina Lohan wants Lindsay to get a restraining order. Problem is … Michael had the legitimacy of the Sheriff’s Dept. behind him, so it’s unlikely a judge will see it Dina’s way.
We just shot video of Michael leaving the Sheriff’s Department in West Hollywood. We’ll post the interview shortly.
Dina Lohan just told us, “I was told by my attorneys not to speak because it is very serious and my ex could be in big trouble. He’s dangerous…. If he can’t get to them he is going to try to hurt them — it’s not good.”
Story developing…
Here’s a link to the video over at TMZ where Michael says that he wants Ali back home with Dina, and that Lindsay is not her guardian.
Look, I can believe that Michael is scary. And they guy has shown time and time again that his “best interest” is really for himself and not his kids. But one of these loser parents should be stepping in here. Why in the world does Dina Lohan think it’s a good idea for her younger daughter to be living with Lindsay, who can’t even manage to show up for a court deposition and is visibly wasted almost nightly? I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m on Michael’s side here. While he is a terrible role model, at least he is showing up. When was the last time Dina Lohan even showed her face around her daughters unless it was on a red carpet? Wake up, honey: your kid is going to be dead in a year if she doesn’t get help, and Ali won’t be far behind if she continues to live the lifestyle.

this is probably the first parental thing I’ve seen him do..strange
Yeah, I’m on Michael’s side BUT I think the public way he goes about things really muddies the water in terms of his intent. Doing this without the cameras would have been better. The Sheriff’s Dept shouldn’t have allowed filming and said, yes we’ll do a well-being check but cameras aren’t allowed to film it.
If Ali’s a minor, shouldn’t Dina be eligible for some sort of child endangerment charge?
I’m not on Michael’s side because he is doing this for publicity, not Ali. Surely this could have been handled without photographers. Lawyers, the court system, and no press releases or photo ops would work better without embarrassing his children.
I’m really hoping that Ali can see what is happening to Linds and will get it out of her system now. I doubt it will happen, but I’m hoping.
Obvious publicity stunt. . . no real concern going on here.
well, he’s got a point. I really don’t understand what crackhead mother would allow her 16 year old to party with her drug-addled sister.
Any man who has never or doesn’t pay child support is a douche in my eyes. Publicity stunt.
What does this man do for a living anyway????
AND- is that two cell phones he is carrying? Really?!
Team Michael, baby, all the way! At least he’s trying to do something; Dina’s just making excuses and enabling. Bringing the cops into that apartment was a great idea.
I think it’s telling that he wants Ali back with Dina, not with him. Lindsay is NOT her legal custodian. He cares about his daughters and doesn’t want to watch them die. What’s the problem?
Dear. God.
Have you read her @ responses to people? She used to only respond to other “celebrities” – or more like harass them and try to get them to notice her. Now she’s just responding anyone who’ll throw down an @lindsaylohan
And the finger in the mouth look of her profile pic (and pretty much every pic she takes)? We call that drunk finger. We have a girl friend who does it when she’s hammered too and we tell her to put down the drunk finger or it’ll free forever that way, all Lohan style.
The pics are outside on public property so nothing illegal there.
Agree he does things for wrong reason but here’s hoping for a good result anyway.
really sad when Michael Lohan is the voice of reason in that cracked out family. Those girls have been doing coke for a while now . . . just waiting for one of them to die and then E can do a good true hollywood story, “I was a cracked out Lohan”
Wow. What a train wreck this whole family is.
A 16 year old kid should not be living with her drug addict older sister. Though both parents are horrible, Lindsay is not suitable either.
If he had done this without the cameras and without telling everyone, I’d believe he cared. But I think a day or two had gone by with little attention on him, so…
I feel he does it all for publicity and so afterwRds, if something drastic happens to Lindsey (i.e. Her death or an od) he can be the one who can say “well I tried, unlike her Mother and other enablers”. Sort of like that disease where a parent, doctor, nurse or whichever brings a person to the brink of death and then comes in at the last minute to save them from near death. Then they become “the hero”.
He sort of reminds me of that.
*projectile vomits
after having read her tweets, i don’t really think they are cracked out. that was probably the most coherent string of tweets from her that i’ve read in a long time. now whether the kidnapping part was true, i have no idea.
@Wow – Münchausen by proxy syndrome – parent / caregiver deliberately hurts the child / dependent, so they can swoop in and seem to be the hero.
@ Wow – But it would be true. It’s not really like Munchhausen-by-proxy because he’s not the one slipping her drugs and making her ill. He is, however, the only parent she has that is trying to intervene. He is also the only parent that Ali has who is trying to keep her from following the same path.
How is that both parents live on the east coast and this sixteen year old MINOR is living on the west coast with the milkoholic?? Last time I checked, when you are 16 you are in this crazy thing called school and not out clubbing at 2:00 AM every night.
Definately not on Michael’s side. Everytime he tries to “help” Lindsay he does it in the most public way. I think he wants the attention more than helping Lindsay.
linsday has her daddy’s hips.
He’s at least trying to get Ali away from Lindsay. The thing you need to remember is, Lindsay is crazy, I would be taking police and photographers with me as well to document that I did nothing wrong. If not Lindsay could accuse him of all kinds of stuff and we know how much she lies.
I still think he’s whacked but I’m team Michael this time. Somebody has to do something. Dina sure won’t.
@ #5, Micheal is giving an on-air interview on TMZ as we speak. He did it for the money, he did it for the publicity. Why does he always need a video camera around when he tries to ‘save’ his daughter? How come he always has to film it? Does he have child support payments due?
On top of that, Dina says that when Micheal went into her apartment, he asked the chick in the armchair where his daughter Ali was. It was Ali he was talking too. Dina says he didn’t even recognize his own daughter. But hey, the guy cares about his kids.
I was just watching on TMZ too.. At least he’s trying to do something, whatever his motives are. Sounds like things are ugly, don’t understand why he didn’t make Ali come with him? He must not have any rights when it comes to the kids. I think he feels like having police and press with him to document what’s happening so Lindsey doesn’t accuse him of anything. and
AMEN # 14 Jenny..
Do these 2 sad excuses for parents EVER do anything without the media? That said-why the hell is Ali still living with that drugged out mess? It wasn’t enough for Dina & Michael to screw up Lindsay? They’re going for daughter number 2? Words cannot describe how disgusting these people are. Something tragic is going to happen, and then they’ll be all over talking about how their children were victimized by the papps and the Hollywood lifestyle. They’ll have no one but themselves to blame.
With all that Dina spews about him, I’d have taken paps with me, too, to document everything. Why Ali is living with Lindsay, I’ll never know. Such a messed up family.
I find it interesting that the first thing Lindsay always brings up in her crack tweets about her dad is that he was in jail. Does she not realize that if it weren’t for her celebrity that is exactly where she would be, too?
My question is why the hell ali is with Lindsey in the first place and not with one of her freaking parents!!!!!! If anything bad happens to either of the girls I fully blame both Dina and Michael because neither of them are parents and should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!
I have to say I almost haven’t recognized Ali as of late – she ain’t lookin’ so hot. At least someone is doing something and that matters. Ali is still a minor and her father can still do something for her, even if her mother won’t. Her mother is just selling her down the river trying keep Lindsay (the cash cow) going. I have nothing but utter disgust for that woman. At the very LEAST M. Lohan is putting himself out there – yeah, maybe for ridicule, but at least he is trying. Who do you think sends Ali the message that they actually love her? Her mother who allows this? Or her father who is showing concern about the obvious unsuitableness of the situation? And his true motives DON’T MATTER. We don’t know for sure, we can speculate, and they may not be pure as the driven snow. But who cares. If Ali can be saved, I’m team Michael all the way.
Yeah she does like to point out that her dad has been to jail. BUT
It’s not like she won’t be going there too…..soon.
Or it’ll be a morgue. One or the other.
Wow, I gess people r realley dump on those days!
A abuser psycopath can really twist things and make everybody believes!!!!!!!!!!1
This guy destroy lifes! Dina, Jon Gosselin, Erin, everybody who get in contact with him ends up abused and
f**k in life…
Thanks I have good memory and don’t let this publucity stunt trick me…
Kate be prepared your his next victim!!!!!!
@31. Lindsay, Is that you?
Melanie @32, that is the Whorehan @31! Look at the misspellings, missing punctuation, and just plain bad grammer all around!
I don’t care what his intentions are – he’s right about Ali being with Lindsay. Him being a douchebag father doesn’t change that fact, and in fact, if he can see it, you KNOW it’s bad.
Awwww. . . I think Michael wants to show how much he loves Lindsay. I mean, media attention equals love and affection, right?
I’m hard pressed to believe otherwise, in the Lohan household.
And despite his vulgar need to fellatiate himself (runs in the family, no?), it doesn’t negate the fact that a 16 year old shouldn’t be permitted to live with her suicidal, narcissistic, 23 year old addict of a sister.
Michael is the lesser of two evils in this scenario. But just by a little bit.
Why isn’t Alli in HIGH SCHOOL? She’d be better off in foster care at this point.
Though Micheal’s motives are hilarious obvious, at least he’s making sure Alli is still alive.
You go, Dad.
Aaaaand then he talked all about it on TMZ. So. While Lindsey may have a problem, I doubt it’ll be fixed by Micheal. I watched that interview and he revealed himself a little too much there (the bit where even Harvey goes, ‘that’s harsh”). Not a pleasant man at all, much as he’d like to present otherwise. I can fully believe he was completely nasty to Lindsey. But I don’t think she actually knows how to pull herself together (due to poor upbringing, syncophants, being overly indulged, ignorance, bad influences, etc., etc.), so I think she’ll make it through on sheer luck, or she’ll die an early death. My guess is from perscription mixing. She doesn’t look healthy now anyway, so it’s only a matter of time before her body shuts down from all the toxins. I mean, some of the rock stars from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, are still standing, but only because THEY QUIT. Maybe Lindsey needs a chat with Alice Cooper.
Stop the excuses!! HE HAS EVERY RIGHT.
Micheal SHOULD take his daughter away from that CRACKHEAD!!
I hope they force Ali to take a drug test too.
And may I ask? WHY ISN’T SHE IN SCHOOL? Oh, let me guess. LL is home schooling her??
Dina is a coke head and a WORTHLESS mother. She just needs to SHUT UP and be a REAL MOTHER!!
Sad case all around. Lindsay needs help but her father is not the one to get it for her. He is such a sleezebag loser. I wonder the last time he paid any child support? Lindsay has no parenting. Her mother and father are both terrible parents and hideous people. You have to feel for her
You KNOW he will try and cash in on his story if Lindsay goes to rehab. He is in this for all the wrng reasons. I would like to think he is a father who cares but he is only doing this for the meida not to help his daughters. sad
I’m glad SOMEONE is trying to get the poor girl help. But I also figure he called the paparazzi to let them know what was going down, so I’m not all that impressed.
So did he call the Paps before or after he called the cops?
And maybe Lindsey’s fine, for all we know. For sure he dad is out of line. It just would be nice to see her present herself in a better way…but then again, that could be said for a lot of women in their 20s. Meh. Sad all around.
The pap are always stalking the Lohans. They don’t need to phone them. Just show up at Lindsay’s place and the flashbulbs go off.
When someone like Dr. Drew (I know he’s questionable at times, but he did have good points) says if Lindsay was his kid she’d have been arrested and put in jail detox you know it’s serious crap. Lindsay has looked pretty bad in recent months. I’m surprised it has taken this long for at least one of her parents to try the hard line, publicity hound or not.
Time will tell whether we will see a death notice for her…
Dina Lohan has finally become an adjective. It has become popular now to refer to an awful mother as a “Dina Lohan”, kind of like we call toilets “johns”……
Dina = worst mother ever
With Dina”White Oprah” Lohan and Micheal “Fame Whore” Lohan as parents Lindsay never had a chance. Maybe there is still time for Ali. No matter what his motives, maybe now someone in CPS will take notice and act.Also has Dina ever explained why Ali is in not in school?
Don’t tell me Lindsay didn’t love the attention from this. Her crazy lifestyle and her screwed up family are the only things keeping her relevant. It’s not like she has a career anymore.
It has to make you wonder what kind of life insurance policy Dina has on Lindsay. I know that’s a crazy thing to say but this is the Lohans we are talking about.
@ 33: grammer or grammar? Lol
I just wasted a few minutes reading some of Lindsay’s tweets. She says Ali has a guardian that looks after her. The guardian is a trusted family friend and has been a good influence in her life. Hahaha. I assume it is the person that is hired to watch over and travel with Lindsay. Now, I guess she is watching over them both.
She also says that Ali is in school – home school. She also says that she is home schooling because it is difficult to go to a real school because of Michael’s public humiliations. Is Al home schooling when she travels with Lindsay? Give me a frigging break!
I know Michael should be paying child support but I wouldn’t want to give Dina a dime either. Would it go for the kids or be spending on coke, clubbing, and etc.?
These people need some serious help. Dina is such an idiot for letting Ali get mixed with up with Lindsay’s crap. She is probably thinking that having Ali around will help Lindsay.
I doubt Ally does her home school stuff, herself, everyday.
My younger sister is home schooled. The state requires you do a minimum of five hours of school work a day. Getting a sixteen year old to do that sh!t on their own is difficult – that’s why it’s crucial my mom is there to enforce it.
It’s sad. A lack of education is what makes these girls so dumb in the first place, like Britney and her 9th grade education.
I normally wouldn’t say this but I am on her dad’s side. Dina NEVER does a damn thing because she is too busy doing coke and looking for a man..
she NEVER steps in, now Ali is there, its all down hill now.
In my state (Ohio), you are only required to go to school until the age of 16, so it’s not required to finish high school. Maybe that’s Ali’s excuse, she’s 16, and doesn’t want to go to school anymore. Does anyone actually believe she’s home-school? Maybe the same person that believes that Lindsey is doing well.
Ew, he isn’t wearing socks! Like, okay, Julio Iglesias!
michael lohan has blammed everyone but
lindsay and himself for her return to jail.and keep your big mouth shut michael lohan when you talk about new york.lindsay started doing drugs right in your home with you and your girfriend.so dont blame anyone but youself,asshole.
