This is why I still root for Lindsay Lohan. Yes, she has a major drug problem and has done a lot of irresponsible, rude, dramatic (etc. etc. etc.) things over the past few years. And yes, she is an adult and therefore has control over her choices and can’t blame her mistakes on other people. But seriously, you can’t be raised amongst this type of lunacy and grow up to be Mother Teresa. You know the cliché: The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
The above video is leaked footage from “The Michael Lohan Reality Project,” a television show that Lindsay’s dad had put a lot of effort into, in hopes of sorting through gossip in an attempt to save his daughter’s life. (Yes, I am slightly embarrassed that I know all of this). His efforts were in vain, though, because the reality show never got picked up. But someone posted this ridiculous clip onto YouTube yesterday. It shows Michael standing outside as a storm starts, praying aloud to God to save and protect his family. The audio is really low, but the visual is enough to give you major secondhand embarrassment.
My favorite part is at the 2:28 mark when he peeks open his eyes and asks the guy filming, “Is that enough?,” and the cameraman responds by suggesting Michael do another take. Obviously this prayer is completely genuine and well-intended!
I’m probably one of the few remaining Lindsay fans left in the world after all the stunts she’s pulled, and even I can admit that she hasn’t been looking too good lately. I see pictures of her and think “Ohhhh girl, get it together!” But then I read about things her parents have done and realize I’m really in no position to judge.
In addition to this bizarre video, Michael has been releasing audio tapes over the past couple weeks of phone conversations and voice mail messages by Lindsay and her mother (his ex-wife), Dina. The messages are terribly sad; Lindsay’s drug use is openly discussed and the severity of the situation is exposed. Michael said he released the tapes in order to help his daughter.
(audio of tapes won’t embed…click here if you want to listen to one of them)
Well, humiliating her and airing the family’s dirty laundry is certainly the best way to go about that. Oh, and did I mention that he demanded $100,000 as payment for giving the tapes to gossip websites?
