MICHAEL LOHAN DIDN'T MEAN 'KIDNAPPING' COMMENTS

LINDSAY LOHAN's father MICHAEL has backtracked over comments he made about "kidnapping" his daughter to ween her off her alleged drug habit, insisting his words have been misinterpreted.
Michael claims the Mean Girls actress is hooked on strong medication she buys from one of Hollywood's biggest drug dealers, allegations the star and her mother Dina have both denied.
Michael even went on U.S. TV on Friday (16Oct09) to issue a public plea to his daughter to get professional help, but went one step too far when he told reporters he was preparing to snatch her in a bid to save her from herself.
In an interview with X17online.com, Michael said, "If I can't get a conservatorship, then I'm going to take her to an undisclosed location and get her straight. But I know I'm going to get charged with kidnapping."
On Monday (19Oct09), People.com reported Lindsay was seeking a restraining order against her dad, with a source claiming she was "scared" and had instructed her lawyer Shawn Holley Chapman to prepare the legal papers.
But Michael insists his comments were "twisted" to mean something more sinister and is adamant he would never force Lindsay to do something against her will.
He tells Newsday, "I just meant I'd like to detox her myself... but of course I'd get arrested.
"People will twist my words to mean what they want. The bottom line is, Lindsay needs help, and no one wants to do anything."
