Michael Lohan Planning Legal Action To Get Lindsay To Face Problems
By WENNMonday, April 26, 2010
LINDSAY LOHAN’s concerned father is preparing “any and all appropriate legal action” to prevent his famous daughter from falling victim to the same fate as her idol MARILYN MONROE.
Michael Lohan attempted to stage an intervention at the actress’ Hollywood home last week (22Apr10) in front of her younger sister Ali, claiming his eldest daughter is hooked on prescription drugs.
Michael then went public with his plans to ask a judge to place Lindsay under a conservatorship, but agreed to drop the whole thing if the Mean Girls star agreed to sit down with him for a serious discussion about her problems.
The actress rejected her dad’s request.
Now, Michael’s lawyer tells TMZ.com his client plans to go to court to force the issue, and the Lohan patriarch will take “any and all appropriate legal action to save and protect his daughter.”
A statement from Michael’s attorney reads, “Michael has a problem millions of Americans have: what can a parent do when an adult child appears to have a serious alcohol or drug problem? What can a parent do when that adult child’s life appears to be spiralling out of control?
“Michael loves his daughter with all his heart. He has watched along with the rest of us over the past few months as Lindsay has been photographed partying and clubbing night after night, appearing as though she is under the influence of alcohol or substances. He is heartbroken about her current condition. With his own two eyes, just last week, he has seen her looking worse than ever.”
And Michael admits he is worried his daughter could suffer the same fate as many Hollywood legends, including her idol Monroe.
His lawyer adds, “Michael is not going to stand idly by and watch his daughter become another Hollywood statistic. He intends to do everything in his power to prevent Lindsay from becoming another Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, or Corey Haim. ”
Monroe was found dead, aged 36, at her home in Brentwood, California in 1969. It is widely believed the depressed movie icon committed suicide by overdosing on barbiturates.
