First Lindsay Lohan blamed her dad for all her problems and now it seems that she is blaming her mother for all her problems. I thought the point of recovery was also to fix some blame on yourself. Oh for sure Michael and Dina are both enablers, but Lindsay also needs to step up herself and shoulder some of the blame.
TMZ is reporting that when Lindsay found out that Dina was going to go on the Today Show to talk about Lindsay, because you know, that's what moms do. They go on national television to discuss the problems of their children, Lindsay was upset and told Dina not to go.
Well, as you know, Dina can never say no to a camera even if it is her moneymaker telling her not to do it. Dina went on and now Lindsay realizes that Dina is a big part of her issues and that Michael is not as bad as everyone thought. Hmm, does this story sound like Michael wrote it?
I'm gonna say No on Michael feeding the story. I don't think TMZ would fall for it.
ReplyDeleteBut good for Lindsay for seeing Dina as PART of the problem. Michael is part of it too, but good for Lindsay.
At any rate, now that Lindsay is an adult - the biggest problem is...Lindsay.
It sounds like a huge step forward for Lindsay, if there is any truth to it at all. She needs to ditch both the parents and go her own way. Get a private phone number. Change her address. Move at least 2000 miles from either of them and get a life for awhile. Then again, she may never change.
ReplyDeleteEven if both her parents messed up her childhood, Lindsay has to realize that it's her own decisions that are now keeping her down. She must feel like she needs one or the other of them, but both are as toxic as her user friends are in her recovery.
ReplyDeleteWho care...really...I hope to never read, hear or see anything about this lying, thieving drug addict...because she will never change.
ReplyDeleteYup. Michael wrote it. Everyone thinks Michael is as bad as he is because of everything he has publicly done. He must be pure h*ll in private.
ReplyDeleteLindsay is 24. She needs to grow up, drop her excuses, and face reality.
I really hope this is true, and Lindsay is recognizing that her mother is toxic. Her dad isn't exactly Mr. Perfect, but Lindsay seems to understand his faults. Lindsay seems to have put her mom on a pedestal in the past, when her mom is a big part of her problem.
ReplyDeleteIMHO, growing up for Lindsay entails getting away from her mom and facing her demons. So if this is a step in that direction, I applaud it.
I really want this to be true and not from Michael. Hopefully this will help Lindsay get some perspective, keep her parents out of her life and admit her own faults to become a better person. That's a lot of lofty expectations for her. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she is finally seeing how blatantly her parents use their connection to her for their own selfish profit. You know not one cent of the money Dina got paid to be on the Today show will go to Lindsay. That would piss me off.
ReplyDeletebaby steps. if she's taking them, then yay her! it's got to be very painful for her to have to take her mother down a notch in her pedestal book. next up, personal accountability. i hold out hope that she'll get there. i really want to see her fully rehabbed.
ReplyDeleteThe only way LL can beat her problems is if she can admit that they ARE her problems. As long as she can blame the problems on someone else then she doesn't have to change anything. The other person needs to change, not her. So it sounds to me like she's a long way from recovery, if that was even in question.
ReplyDeleteNice post Pookie! I hope she gets better.
ReplyDeleteHow old is this girl? I remember being 10 and my Ma telling me that I have to grow up and take responsibility for my actions. Re: me breaking a window playing baseball. Sure, it's her parents fault for creating this mess of a person who feels no personal responsibility for anything, but there comes a point in life when you figure it out yourself and be your own person. She doesn't get it.
ReplyDeletehow about we cut the girl some slack and get back to recovery? none of us has lived her life with her constant buzzing of Dina in her ear.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jax.
ReplyDeleteBut if this story is true, (and I hope it is) I actually have some hope for her now.
She should still BE in recovery, though. This leaving to go out to restaurants, shopping, etc. is NOT rehab, and you'd think when it's your fifth trip, you do a longer, more serious stint.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, this is a good step if she realizes what a fame whore her mother is. Now she just needs to realize what a fame whore SHE is.
I agree with RQ Lindsay charms her way out of rehabs time and time again. She will be back on the bad shit as soon as she gets out.
ReplyDeleteShe really must be a better actress then I ever give her credit for. The girl needs to be locked away out of LA and out of her family drama.
I agree Pookie, and I also agree with looserdude that she does have a long way to go. I hope this is the start of light at the end of the tunnel for her.
ReplyDeleteSee, I'd feel for her and her situation if she didn't act like a completely entitled asshole. The "fuck off" nail to the judge? Sorry, but that told me all I needed to know about her and how she thinks of herself and the general society around her.
ReplyDeleteIt's a start. Dina used to party pretty hard with teenage Lindsay. Unlike most parents, she encouraged this behavior and kept telling everyone how 'normal' it was. Lindsay needs to get wise to her mom's motives --- fame and money.
ReplyDeleteSplitting with Dina would be a great step for Lilo.
ReplyDeletei don't see anything wrong with this. in fact, i think it's a positive step for her. it's not that she's not taking responsibility. it's that she's seeing how the people she's surrounded herself with---even if they are her parents---may not be good for her.
ReplyDeletethat's a good step in rehab. she doesn't necessarily have to sever all ties with her parents. but she NEEDS TO GROW UP, be an independent young woman and put distance between herself and them. dina should not be in charge of her career.
if she's starting to see the world through clear eyes, that can only be a good thing for her. and it would be very nice if her parents would respect her enough to focus on their own lives, and butt out of hers.
I hope she gets better, but I know a lady who still blames everybody and everything else for her actions and she is 48 years old!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Michael. Or else LiLo is parroting what a counselor told her she should think. She will never betray her party companion.
ReplyDeleteDina IS toxic, but Lindsay will never recover unless she starts claiming SOME responsibility for her actions. No one forced you to snort those lines, you spoiled brat.
ReplyDeleteI really hope this story is true - because if it is, the girl just took a big step, hopefully towards her own recovery. I think she probably has to blame her mom and break those chains before she start to see reality and take responsibility for her own life.
ReplyDeleteWell said @Cecilia00
