We all know Lindsay Lohan is in a precarious situation, but who's to blame for her troubles? Her bodyguard of three years Tony Almeida is talking and he’s blaming Michael and Dina Lohan for not providing a structure for the starlet. He claims Lindsay’s parents were anything but normal with their wild and abusive lifestyle which Lindsay financially supported.
Almeida reveals to In Touch, "From a young age, she dealt with her father's physical, emotional and drug abuses as well as her mother's drinking." Tony reveals one incident where Michael threw Lindsay against the cars hood and called her a slut. Not to mention the constant pressure Lindsay had from her mother to make some cash in order to pay the bills. Lindsay was a "cash cow" working non stop and got away with doing anything as long as the bills were paid.
Tony believes Dina was desperate to become a star herself and as Lindsay's 'manager' received 10 percent of her income. Both parents would look the other way as Lindsay began a life of partying, boys, drugs and booze.

The lot of them can burn in hell, for all I care....
How very sad for this young lady..With a life like she has had no wonder she thinks everything she does is alright..To many parents today are like this trash and they are still allowed to raise children..We of course have more loving parents around than these but we don’t hear about the good kids or the great parents we hear about this poor girl and her life..
I’d agree with you except for the fact that Lindsay is a very talented young woman with a wonderful career ahead of her. If she doesn’t destroy herself first, she’s capable of turning in Oscar-worthy performances that will lift the spirits of moviegoers.
At a time when Ho-Wood can boast few “stars” who can actually act, it would be a shame to lose one of the few who has real talent. I sincerely hope she gets her real life together.
Linday had choices and failed to make the correct ones. No one put the drugs in her mouth/noe, and no one forced her to drive drunk.
This is yet another example of someone not wanting to take responsiblity for their actions, and someone else willing to enable them.
oops, should read mout/nose
ok, I’ll try this again, it should be “mouth/nose”
(2) Her father was clearly violent and although he is trying to turn his life around, most recovering addicts wouldn't be on TV lecturing people on sobriety and recovery before they have worked the program much longer.
(3) Unlike Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, she is actually very talented at what she does and could have a very long and rewarding career. When Britney Spears is 50 no one will care if she comes out with a new record. When Lohan is 50, she might be handing in Streep-quality performances in worthwhile films.
er...if you say so.
I agree. She still has a respectable shot of true "stardom"
The Parent Trap, and to a lesser degree Freaky Friday are well worth the title family movie must see.
Good luck Lindsay!
aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh
Ya beat me to it !!
bless you my son....
“I’d hit it”, but then again I’d hit ANYTHING from Massapequa. GIGGEDY GIGGDY!
She was very good in Herbie: Fully Loaded (my daughter really enjoys the film) despite a painfully weak script. She actually made the character she played somewhat believable.
And Mean Girls was a very funny movie in which she again made an awkwardly-written character believable.
The Parent Trap.
Fantastic Family Fun!
keep smiling,
Philip.
When both parents are alkies, you’ve got that nature & nuture double-whammy. I find her behavior wrong but understandable for someone with that background. Hope she gets a clue soon....
