Lohan’s parents are to blame for all her troubles

August 9, 2007

Tony Almeida, Lindsay’s former bodyguard is dishing on Lohan family. He says that Lindsay’s parents are the one to blame for her substance abuse problems, and etc.. claiming that they practically forced her to work since they received 10% of income, and never monitored her behavior like most parents would.

Once, when Lindsay was 16, Michael flew into a rage while driving and “slammed on the brakes and dragged her out of the car, pushed her up against the hood, screamed at her and called her a slut. This was on the Long Island Expressway! I got in the middle of it and pulled him off.”
Meanwhile, Dina often “let her do whatever she wanted, just to keep her happy and working . . . [At her 16th birthday party] Lindsay drank whatever she wanted - I saw her drinking beer and mixed drinks with my own eyes [without Dina's intervention].”

As Lindsay’s manager, Dina - who was desperate to become a star herself - received 10 percent of her income. “Lindsay was the family cash cow - and she resented it,” Almeida claims. “They counted on her to pay their bills . . . I saw Lindsay exhausted, begging her mother for some time off.”

Young Lindsay’s parents looked the other way as she began a life of boozing, boys and drugs. When she was 15, they allowed her to share a room with her then-14-year-old boyfriend, Aaron Carter, at Loews in Miami Beach. Almeida relates, “They knew Lindsay was sleeping in Aaron’s room. But they seemed happy she had chosen somebody who could benefit her singing career.”
