How Lo can Lindsay Lohan’s dad go?
Michael Lohan has released a recorded phone call from his weeping daughter — who is heard crying her heart out to him for more than two minutes as she sobs in anguish.
“No one cares about me. They don’t, by the way . . . It’s about how they feel, not how I feel. It’s not about me. It’s never been about me, unless I fight for it.” she says on the recording Lohan released to RadarOnline.com, which posted it yesterday,
A forlorn Lindsay also refers to her mom, Dina.
“Mommy says that I’m like you were,” the 23-year-old “Mean Girls” star says.
“And she’s defending . . . She doesn’t back me . . . she doesn’t stand by me.”
RadarOnline said the tape is “the first of several which were recorded from phone calls Lindsay and her mom Dina made to” Michael.
Michael Lohan, who has said he wants to get Lindsay into rehab for an alleged prescription drug addiction, defended letting everyone in the world eavesdrop as she trustingly turned to him and wept.
“I’ve tried every way possible to do it privately, and I feel if I put pressure on Lindsay, maybe she will go into rehab and get off the prescription drugs,” he told The Post.
Michael, who described his daughter as sounding “very distraught and tormented” during the call, shrugged off any criticism of him as a father for sharing her confidences.
“People can think what they want,” he said. “I know how bad the situation is. I’m not going to sit there and watch things happen,” he told The Post.
Lindsay yesterday branded her dad “a loser” and skewered him on Twitter.
“My father’s such a loser & those recordings are from years ago,” she posted.
“To release personal things is foul enough, but to edit them. I used to think that he needed the book for dummies on learning how to be a father. Haha — he needs the book for dummies on HOW TO BE A MAN,” she wrote, thanking her fans for their support.
Dina Lohan had equally withering words for her ex, telling The Post that “it’s just inconceivable to me that a father would do something like that.
“But whatever the message was about, it shouldn’t be public. It’s horrible. He’s saying he wants to help Lindsay, but what he did is just horrific.”
Lindsay’s mom said it “hurts me that when a child confides in someone, then to release it to the world is despicable.”
“This has severed their relationship for good,” Dina Lohan said.
“I have never heard the message. I don’t want to hear it, I think it’s horrible, and we’ll leave it in the hands of lawyers.”
She said that their lawyers “are sending a very strongly worded letter to Michael to cease and desist talking about Lindsay or any of us. She’ll get a restraining order also.”
