Michael Lohan admits threatening and harassing Lindsay’s lawyer


Over the weekend we heard that Lindsay Lohan was going to “voluntarily” check herself into an inpatient rehab facility after failing two drug tests and being sentenced to 30 days in jail. It’s a good idea even if someone has to drag Lindsay’s orange ass there while she’s kicking, screaming and tweeting. Obviously Dina isn’t going to do that as she’s an enabler of the highest order. Lindsay’s dad Michael has long been advocating for his daughter to get treatment, but he seems to be more interested in the publicity he gets for being a self righteous prick than his daughter’s well being. He’s also a nasty abusive person, as shown by how he treated his last two girlfriends and now Lindsay’s lawyer. Michael admits leaving threatening messages for Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, after Lindsay was sentenced to jail without bail (which was of course overturned on appeal) but he claims it was about the fact that no one was trying to get Lindsay into rehab.

Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, worked miracles running back and forth to court Friday to spring her client from jail, but it wasn’t good enough for Michael Lohan. TMZ has learned daddy Lohan left a voicemail and texts on Holley’s phone, threatening to “blow you out of the water.”

Sources tell us the voicemail — left earlier in the week — also threatened to “dig up dirt” on Shawn, as well as Lindsay’s business manager, Lou Taylor.

Michael left two text messages on Holley’s phone Friday after the court hearing, telling her she should do Lindsay a favor and quit. In another text, Michael claimed Holley and Taylor were destroying the Lohan family.

Michael went nuclear at the Bev Hills Courthouse Friday morning after Judge Elden Fox threw Lindsay in jail. Fox’s decision was reversed later that day after Holley filed an appeal, and Lindsay got out of jail Friday night.

We’re told Holley, who could not be reached for comment, will not seek a restraining order.

It’s just Michael being Michael.

UPDATE: Michael tells TMZ, “It’s true. I said those things … but it’s spun. I wasn’t knocking Shawn for working all those hours … I was knocking the fact that I told them to do this [send Lindsay to rehab] a long time ago. Just now they’re listening.”

If you listen to Michael’s post-sentencing rant to the press (above) he says that it’s not Lindsay’s fault that she’s so messed up, but is everyone else’s fault for “enabling her.” He says at about 2:00 in “I truly believe that she’s finally in a place where she wants to be, but it’s just a few people in her life that keep leading her off that path and enabling her.” Are you kidding me? This is typical of the Lohan family. It’s everyone else’s fault except them and their daughter. Dina and Michael may seem to have a lot of different opinions and they obviously hate each other, but it’s clear that they agree on that point.

There are a lot of comparisons being made between what happened with Britney Spears in 2008 and Lindsay’s latest antics. Fox News has a story speculating on whether Lindsay could be placed under a conservatorship like Britney. They quote an expert who says that Lindsay is in need of a conservator but that she hasn’t quite reached the point where she’s showing “signs that she is incapable of caring for herself” like Britney did. It doesn’t seem like this is going to happen for Lindsay, as dire as her situation seems to us on the outside. Can you imagine if Michael was appointed Lindsay’s conservator? I would actually feel sorry for her.

    Trash and thanks for wasting Cali tax payers money LILO.I will save my sympathy for someone who truly needs it

  3. Snarf says:

    Michael Lohan needs to go to prison for a good long while and have his mouth boarded up while he’s there.

  4. Blondie says:

    Michael Lohan is a violent deranged nutcase

    Dina Lohan is a disgusting p1mping enabling fame wh0re

    No wonder Lindsay has an egomanic personality

    They are trailer trash and its really awful that we all (myself included) keep reading and commenting about these low lifes – must be that danm car crash effect!

  5. Po says:

    I think with Britney there was a true mental illness and in this case she’s just one of the many addicts we have in this country. The only way Lindsey is going to get better is on her own. She was in a psychiatric clinic already, she’s not technically nuts, she’s just an ass who blames her parents for her problems. She wont get better until she stops looking at other people and takes a long hard look at herself.

  6. Blondie says:

    oh & just noticed the scary Lindsay stalker guy is standing with Michael Lohan in the video…enough said

  7. Ycnan says:

    I agree with Po, I think it was quite obvious that Britney was (and is) dealing with mental illness which is so heartbreaking and a lifelong problem for which sometimes people seek to self medicate themselves to feel better. While Lindsay is a whole other story. It’s unfair to compare the two.

  8. MarenGermany says:

    muhahaha…. the Linnocent guy is just hillarious.
    Anybody ever thought that this indeed might be that “Innocent” person who keeps posting and posting here?
    Probably not, but its fun thinking.
    I always thought that he was a creepy 40-something guy who REALLY liked her in parent trap.
    muhahahahah

    Lindsay and the family need to wake up and get a full restraining order on him. Period. Anyone who beats women and/or continues to sell stories off his child is a vile excuse for a human being. Blood relation does not mean you should be abused.

    My deep intuition tells me that he’s a manipulative and evil man who’s intentions is to regain control of Lindsay and the rest of the family — losing control makes him more angry and wants to punish the victim(s). If I was in her shoes I would do EVERYTHING in my power to remove this blood-sucking parasite out of my life. No matter the threats of releasing secret personal diary information or other details. They can always deal with that later.

    BTW, I am not all surprised that he’s threatened Ms.Chapman; sick and twisted parasite.

    Sadly, Lindsay will not make it to her 30th birthday — she does not have any good people that can disern the truth and pull her away from this horrible, horrible mess.

  10. Whatever says:

    Gee, I wonder why Lindsay is so screwed up. Between this loser and that awful mother, those kids really didn’t have much chance of being normal. She needs to get away from BOTH her parents and her enabling friends and start fresh with decent people around her.

  11. Majosha says:

    My deep intuition tells me that he’s a manipulative and evil man who’s intentions is to regain control of Lindsay and the rest of the family …”

    You don’t need “deep intuition” to come to the conclusion that ML is a power hungry jackass. Anyone who reads a story or two about him can easily see that unfortunate fact.

  12. Laura says:

    Now, I don’t normally advocate violence in any circumstance. However, I wish someone would just do the world a favor and snipe this guy and one of his next “press conferences.”

  13. KO says:

    Britney’s situation is completely different that Lohan’s. She most likely has a mental disorder and was being manipulated by a horrible, scary manager at the time who has a disturbing record and was fucking up with her head. Lohan I’m sure has enablers and surrounds herself with them but has proven to be a self-righteous snot.

  14. Crash2GO2 says:

    @Innocent: Hey, is that you in the photo?

  15. BethL says:

    For such a religious man Michael sure loves to threaten and beat women. I don’t know why he’s threatening and blaming Holley. Her job is to keep Lindsay out of jail, not sober.

  16. Innocent says:

    Shawn Chapman Holley is one of the best lawyers in LA and she deserves a medal for putting up with the Lohan family.
    She really came through for Lindsay on July 20th and on Friday
