LOHAN ATTACKS FATHER AFTER LESBIAN JIBE

The rift between Lindsay Lohan and her father has widened after she labelled him a "public embarrassment".

Michael Lohan, who has been estranged from his daughter for several years, recently told reporters that he thought Lohan's girlfriend Samantha Ronson was taking advantage of her.

In an blog post on her MySpace page entitled Drug Free, Lohan, 22, said she was "hurt".

"If you have something to say to me, say it to my face - that's what I have believed my whole life - don't be a coward and say it to others first, let alone all the media in the world," the actress and singer, who labelled her father as fame-addicted, said:

"He has become a public embarrassment and a bully: to my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me.

"Samantha has not and would never sell me out. Nor has my mother, who is wonderful."

In a blog post on her own MySpace page, British DJ Ronson said Michael Lohan was "desperate for attention".

"I know I am being used, I am just a pawn - easy to sacrifice in order to feed his addiction," she wrote.

"I was angry when I first read his attack on me, but, for me, I believe that actions speak louder than words... so now I just pity him.

"I am not standing in his way, I am not the reason that he has no contact with his daughter – he is."
