As I think we all can agree, Michael Lohan is a disgusting person. He’s horrible. He’s an abusive monster. But even a broken clock is right twice a day, and I think that Michael might be on-target completely in a new interview. He sat down for an exclusive interview with Radar to discuss the Lindsay situation, and he revealed several gems about his daughter and about his ex-wife Dina. The biggest news is that according to Michael, Dina and Lindsay’s manager are trying to push Lindsay into a Britney Spears-style conservatorship – that Dina will control jointly with Lindsay’s manager Lou Taylor. The video is here – it’s interesting. Michael bashes Dina for not only being a sh-tty mother who wants to profit from Lindsay even though Lindsay is a sick, twisted, f-cked up woman, and how Dina is basically a horrible business manager.
Michael Lohan tells RadarOnline.com he’s learned of a plot to put his troubled daughter Lindsay under a conservatorship – and he is fighting mad about it. The Lohan patriarch said Lindsay – who has reportedly checked into an intensive in-patient rehab program – is facing tough new living and legal situations.
“I’ve learned of a plot to put Lindsay under a conservatorship,” Lohan told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive video interview.
According to Michael, his estranged ex-wife, Dina, is moving toward obtaining the temporary conservatorship, which would allow legal control of his daughter’s well-being and finances as she battles serious substance abuse issues. He said, “It’s disturbing… the co-conservators would be Dina and Lindsay’s business manager, Lou Taylor.”
Michael said he’s aware that Dina and Taylor are making the move behind-the-scenes, in the wake of the Mean Girls starlet’s brief stint in jail last Friday. Taylor, who in 2008 helped put Britney Spears under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears, came on board just over three months ago when Lindsay was first sentenced to jail.
“Lou and Dina are trying to throw Lindsay in a rehab right now and get her out of the picture so they can get a conservatorship without her knowing,” he told RadarOnline.com. “They would control literally everything Lindsay does, what projects she has coming up, her finances and the people she sees-and that includes keeping me out of her life. I hope Lindsay hears this and realizes what they’re trying to do.”
Michael said he learned of Dina’s plan from “attorneys very close to Dina and Lindsay” and “people he knows who deal with conservatorships.”
He further says his ex-wife is being advised to make the move behind-the-scenes, while she’s in rehab. Michael, who admitted to RadarOnline.com that he had wanted to establish a conservatorship for Lindsay as recently as April, is now protesting the move. He said he would engage attorneys to fight it.
“I never wanted to get control of her finances,” Michael told RadarOnline.com. “I wanted a conservatorship for her so that I could weed out the bad people in her life. The way Dina and Lou want to do it is to get a conservatorship, line up a bunch of projects for Lindsay when she gets out of rehab, make a lot of money off of them so they can control it and make their due.”
As part of her original sentence, Lindsay was ordered to avoid alcohol and illegal drugs. Last week, she admitted to failing a drug test and returned to court on Friday, where Judge Elden Fox initially denied bail and had her locked up.
She was jailed for about 14 hours, but her lawyer appealed the ruling and another judge agreed that Lindsay should be allowed to post bail pending a formal probation violation hearing.
She posted the required ten percent of her $300,000 bail, and she was out Friday night.
In 2008, Spears was placed under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears to manage both her personal and business affairs following a long period of incredibly unruly behavior.Her career since has experienced a career resurgence and had substantial weekly visits with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. A source close to Dina told RadarOnline.com they were not aware of the plan, but conceded that didn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t an option being considered. Michael said he can “undeniably” prove every claim he’s making and is willing to do so if he has to go to court to fight his ex-wife’s plans.
When asked if he would ever want to be Lindsay’s conservator, Michael told RadarOnline.com “I’m leaving that up to the courts to decide. But of course, I’m Lindsay’s father. I have only her best intentions at heart.”
We asked Dina’s rep about Michael’s claims, and while says she didn’t know anything about Dina seeking conservatorship, she did admit that she wouldn’t necessarily be aware of it in any event.

I mean… yes, Michael could be full of sh-t. Really. I accept that possibility. But I do think Dina is up to something. Mother Crackhead been so suspiciously quiet lately – I think she’s crack-plotting something epic. What makes it worse, in my mind, is that Lindsay does need someone – like a conservator – to help her get back on track. But that person is not Mother Crackhead, Lindsay’s biggest enabler.

Lindsay is doomed…
Is there room at Britney’s house for Lindsey? Old Jamie seems to be doing allright by Britney. It’s a nightmare scenario to put Dina in charge of a recovering, (maybe) addict. I can’t believe there’s a professional in existance that would co-sign on that one.
This is only time I will ever say this….God help Lindsay!
What a ghastly human being. Dina, I mean. Talk about living vicariously through your kids.
JESUS CHRIST
I didn’t even read the damn article but this crazy a88 is insane and needs to be locked up.
What is there to even “conserve” at this point????
of course she does.
The only one I would trust to be a conservator for Lindsay is Jamie Spears.
If Lindsay is going to be put under a conservatorship, it should be put in the charge of a court-appointed, neutral third party, and neither of her $-grubbing, vulture parents.
@ Kat: AGREED!
And we say that Lindsay should take responsibility for her actions. The first time she’s ever attempted it (with that tweet, staged as it may have been) her mother decides to try and take over her life even more?
the girl doesn’t stand a chance.
Michael and Dina are both vile excuses for parents. Who were their role models, Gary Coleman’s folks?
For a conservatorship to work in this situation, you’d need someone truly responsible and disinterested in the monetary arrangement.
Britney was lucky that her father is so responsible and that she has a pretty strong support system – her brother and mother, from what I recall, were pretty okay too. I fear Lindsay doesn’t have someone comparable in her life.
Dear Kaiser,
In your post you have captioned two photos as showing Dina Lohan, when clearly they show her daughter Lindsay, standing by a slightly mottled mirror. Shirley some mistake?
Neither Dina or Michael would be a proper fit but I do think that she needs a conservatorship desperately.
God, that woman is vile. Just looking at her makes me gag.
I hope that the judges are smart enough to see through that thing Lindsay is forced to call a mother. As bad as ML is Dina is soo much worse
No Sensei, the correct word is ‘surely’.
Don’t worry Sensei, I got the joke!
For a conservatorship, don’t you need to prove that the person has mental health issues? I highly doubt a court would grant a conservatorship for someone who is just a dumbass. And since UCLA rehab let her out into outpatient care, they really can’t prove she has “severe addiction issues”, and one positive test for cocaine doesn’t prove that either. She obviously has problems, but are they severe enough, or is there enough evidence to put her under a conservatorship? I mean, Britney has some REAL mental health problems, unlike Lindsay, who just needs to get away from her family and get a really good therapist.
Dumb and dumber!
Conservatorship? But that’s for the mentally incapacitated. Does this mean that Dina will finally admit that Lindsay is either mentally ill or otherwise, shall we say, “troubled.”
I know that this sounds completely crazy, but part of me almost feels like she would be in better hands with her dad managing her affairs then her mom. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like him. He’s shady. He’s got just as much of a troubled past as his daughter, but for how long now has he been saying she is a mess and needs help? Granted he’s been obnoxious and deplorable while doing it (speaking at any chance, releasing private conversations, etc)… he has never tried to make light of her situation. All her mom has done is say “my daughter is fine, she doesn’t have a substance abuse problem” etc… Well CLEARLY she does. And her mom is only an enabler. I find myself agreeing with her dad more than anyone really on the situation- yes, Lindsay has a serious substance abuse problem. Yes, she needs to get away from all of this, all of Hollywood. Yes she needs to get some serious long term intensive treatment. All her mom does is deny deny deny and bash her father and the media and blame everyone but herself and Lindsay for their growing problems. Her dad may talk, but he’s never denied his daughter needs help. The mother is in as much denial as Lindsay is. It’s sad. And while I don’t agree with how her father has handled every situation, I think I can understand the desperation. He can’t go near her or his wife, can’t talk to them. But she IS still his daughter. And in the past sure his motives have been questionable, but at the same time what has her mother done in the past 3 years that has helped her daughter at all? I don’t think that either parent should have “control” over Lindsay, but especially not Dina- she’s been involved with everything Lindsay related for years, and look what her “control” and “influence” has done for her daughter. Lindsay Lohan has really met a new low. They need to stop worrying about finances and projects and public image and work on saving her before something catastrophic really happens. Besides, how will Dina make her money if her bread and butter ends up dead? I don’t think either parent is fit to handle the situation, but if I had to choose between one of the two parents, I would probably give Michael a crack at it. We have seen the great job that Dina has done, and where it has landed Lindsay. Granted, Lindsay is the only one responsible for her landing where she is. It sounds crazy to put any faith regardless of how minimal it is in her father, but maybe- just maybe it’s crazy enough to work… I mean they did once seem to have some kinda ok relationship. Can anyone remember seeing the pictures of him and her outside of the Cirque Lodge (I think it was that one) when he went to visit and brought her a rose? They looked genuinely happy (who knows if it was just an act but maybe not since she has no problem bashing him at any given chance). Really though, who knows?

That obnoxiously long link is to the one of Lindsay and her dad- he may be a fame whore, but so is Dina. At least this picture captures something resembling a loving, caring father-daughter relationship…
This is fucking crazy. Daddy Spears is a responsible person, he truly loves Britney and her children, he wants them to be all right, Dina Lohan is SHIT, she only wants Lindsay’s money; she doesn’t care about her daugthers, and I think she is on drugs too.
I feel sad for little Ali.
First he wants her in rehab, then he doesn’t. Then he wanted a conservatorship, now he doesn’t. Seems to be a problem with all Lohans – everyone wants to be in control in that household.
Kat and LB, you got it.
whoever is put in charge (if it’s allowed – as “S” #19 pointed out, would they grant one?…), it must be someone who has NO financial stake in Lindsay, so that they will truly consider what’s best for her.
not what’s best for their wallet…Dina, I’m looking at you, Ms. 10% “manager”.
They must buy their blonde hair dye in bulk. Same shade.
I agree with posters who say Lindsay is doomed. I almost feel bad for the little crackhead.
fuk I hate this lady. life is a game to her. her kid can die from this and she is just thinking about how to spin this and that and WWBD: What Would Britney Do?
R u serious?!?!
Yeah, I think the reason why Brit’s daddy has done well as her conservator is that he didn’t manage her before, like her whacky mother. He also doesn’t like the limelight unlike Linds’s parents.
“For a conservatorship, don’t you need to prove that the person has mental health issues? I highly doubt a court would grant a conservatorship for someone who is just a dumbass.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exactly. This is still America and it is not illegal to be a dumbass. It is a right to be one if you chose to.
Where, unfortunately, Britney had a complete nervous breakdown… Lindsay just has issue’s with toxic leeches.
I don’t see why Lindsay would need her Mother or anyone for that matter… to take over her finance’s. What little money there is left.
What we have is a whole pile of adult’s who don’t want to have to get a real job. They all want to take a % of Lindsay’s income.
Had any of them gave a sh*t about her well being, she would probably turned into a better adult.
What none of them seem to realize, Britney had alot of money to fight over. She has cash in the bank. And it continue to roll in as she fell apart. And the toxic leeches that had attached to her… where promptly ran off by her lawyer and Daddy.
Lindsay does not stand a chance of getting her world straighten out cause her immediate family are all leeches. And have a vested interest in her success/income. And she isn’t ever going to be able to shake them.
@peaches, I’m with you sister. If it gets approved, perhaps the judge will see how crazy and deluded Dina is and won’t let her be in control of Lilo.
I think “Mother Crackhead” (everytime I read this I lol) would be a wonderful conservator – don’t you remember she was “Mother of the Year”?
I say let the mother do it, let her take over everything. She’s proven that she’s not a responsible person. The sooner she takes over, the sooner she will destroy everything that is left. When she’s finished there will be no money, no career, nothing. And the sooner we will be rid of this clan.
Well I guess if you can’t pimp Lindsay out for money anymore she can take what she still has. This woman (Dina) has no bounds, morals or ethics.
“I wanted a conservatorship for her so that I could weed out the bad people in her life.”
“But of course, I’m Lindsay’s father. I have only her best intentions at heart.”
Those two little statements alone had me rolling on the floor with disbelieving laughter. This coming from a man who would tape his family’s conversations and make them public in order to manipulate them. Who photographed his fiance nude while she was sleeping and published them to humiliate her.
I actually think the man is worse than Dina. She may be enabling, but he is purely an evil manipulative bastard, and the ONLY good decision Lindsay has made in the past few years has been to weed HIM out of her life.
Kaiser, if I had to chose the lesser of two evils then it would be hands down Dina.
I watched the Radar interview and Michael’s contrived attempts to project a caring father that is looking out for the best interest of his daughter.
There is just one tiny problem with his interview and that it is inconsistent with his known violent behaviour: assaults, vile threats, shaming the victim(s) and let us not forget nude photos that he allegedly did not sell of his last ex-girlfriend. Remeber, a tiger does not change his stripes.
As I had said before, an abuser wants to control his victim and will do anything in his power to maintain that control.
I truly hope the family cuts complete ties and intacts a full restraining order. Only then can they start to pick up the pieces and get the necessary therapy to help them rebuild their shattered lives.
Dina is f-d up for chosing this loser as her mate and breeding with him. She needs to get her head out of the sand… otherwise, there is more pain to come her way.
They are both disgusting, worthless parents. But I do think he is right on with his assessment of Dina. She wants a conservatorship for one reason only MONEY. She will exploit her daughter as she has for the girl’s entire life for her own profit, if she is given control. Dina doesn’t give a damn about Lindsay’s problems and has been spouting for YEARS to anyone who will listen that Lindsay is “fine”. Now that she has the potential for financial gain, suddenly she wants a conservatorship.
The only hope for her is to cut BOTH her parents out of her life, along with the hangers on and enablers in her life and start fresh.
Any judge that puts Dina in control is more wasted than Lindsay. I can’t imagine giving her control over the remote, let alone a fragile life.
I think Dina and Michael should be under conservatorships. Finally reign in those awful “parents.”
It won’t work. Britney had two things going for her a tough minded father and her desire to see her kids. Linds has neither of those going for her.
Every time I see White Oprah she looks as crazy as a shithouse rat.
Isn’t this the same “mother” who keeps insisting her “child” doesn’t have a problem???
Won’t be surprised if true, all Dina sees are $ signs. They should make her responsible – for Lindsay’s debt! That’s another difference between her and Britney – Britney still makes millions a year and is worth a fortune. Lindsay…not so much.
this is disturbing to me on so many levels. i am wondering exactly what type of parent dina is for the other 3 lohan children, and how michael plays in their life. why has this family never moved to be closer to lindsay/film industry when she was at her peak in hollywood? why is ali lohan being home schooled(no schooled, more like)? what is going on in terms of education for the younger two? what about them- does visitation with michael prevent the family from leaving the state permanently to consolidate the everyone in CA?
none of these scenarios sound like baseline good parenting, but nevertheless, they occurred and lindsay
bears the brunt of these poor choices.
i think i’d rather be buried up to my neck with fire ants than have these two rocket scientists try to hammer out any sort of conservator-ship.
i say- girlfriend u in danger!
Kaiser: Please be nicer in your descriptions.
