MICHAEL LOHAN: 'GOD IS PUNISHING LINDSAY'

MICHAEL LOHAN has blasted his daughter LINDSAY for alleging he threatened to kill ex-wife DINA at the height of their marital problems, blaming her reported drug addiction for making her delusional.
The born-again Christian has been fighting a public battle to get the Mean Girls actress into counselling to beat her rumoured problems with prescription medication.
Lindsay and her mum Dina have repeatedly denied the claims, even after Michael released desperate phone messages from his daughter to the media to prove he wasn't making up the drama.
The actress unleashed a bitter tirade against her estranged father on her Twitter.com page on Thursday (05Nov09), in which she detailed her troubled early years, before her parents divorced.
She wrote, "He's a deadbeat dad. He's disgusting to do this. He doesn't deserve attention. He needs help...
"She (Dina) blames herself for staying (with) him for so long, I'd beg her not to leave (because) he always threatened to kill her if she did...after disappearing, then coming home after being gone for several days while cheating on my mother&abusing substances... I haven't had a real relationship (with) Michael Sr. in years. That is the truth."
But Michael is refusing to take Lindsay's accusations lightly and claims her floundering career is God's way of punishing her for her alleged drug abuse.
He tells the New York Post, "That's a lie. I guess Lindsay is on more drugs than I thought to say something like that… No wonder why God is taking her entire career away from her. Because she's forsaken everything He's given her and she's done nothing but misuse all the gifts she's given."
