Dinner Table Topics: Rehab, Domestic Abuse, Illegitimiate Children, Ali's Career
Whereas most families choose to deal with their issues in the privacy of their lawyers' offices, the Lohans' drama has played out quite publicly. But the fact that Linz seems incapable of going about anything quietly shouldn’t surprise anyone, when her mother airs the family's dirty laundry on a reality television show (Living Lohan), and her father writes open letters to The New York Post when Lindsay won't take his calls. Of the many atrocities these parents have committed against their children: Michael publicly decrying Lindsay's possible lesbian relationship with Samantha Ronson, then getting engaged to a woman eleven years older than his daughter; fathering a long-lost Lohan while married to Dina; and multiple arrests, including a DUI. Not to be outdone, Dina visited Lindsay in rehab with camera crews from Access Hollywood; pimps Ali out weekly on her reality television show; and developed a reputation for partying with her daughter. Thing is, only one of them had the good sense to reign it in…and it wasn't Dina. "We are not a bunch of screwups," Dina told People magazine last year. We think she doth protest too much.
