Michael Lohan On Lindsay: ‘Faith Was All She Needed’

Following the news his daughter is headed to jail, Michael Lohan spoke to Access Hollywood about the latest on his daughter Lindsay.

“I’m happy to see that Blair Berk, Lindsay’s counselors at Cirque Lodge and Lindsay herself have resolved matters pertaining to Lindsay’s restoration. I have full confidence that the system and the public will see that Lindsay has put her life back on track and that rehabilitation and faith was all she needed,” Michael told Access.

On Thursday, Lindsay reached a plea deal that resulted in a 96-hour jail sentence, but was ordered to serve only 48 hours.

However, after being given credit for the time she already spent behind bars at the time of her arrest, ultimately, Lohan will spend one day in jail for her two recent DUI arrests, which resulted in seven misdemeanor charges.

As part of the plea deal, Lohan’s lawyer Blair Berk pleaded guilty on Lohan’s behalf to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine; no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above .08 percent and one count of reckless driving.

In an earlier interview with Access Hollywood, Michael placed much of the blame for Lindsay’s problems squarely on the shoulders of himself and her mother Dina.

“Look, let’s be serious. The writing is on the wall. When we were a family, did you see any of this going on? It wasn’t until we were torn apart, at the pinnacle of Lindsay’s career no less, when people came into the picture did everything fall apart,” Michael told Access’ Billy Bush. “Dina knows what is going on. I know what is going on and it’s just got to stop. Enough is enough. I’ve had it. I really have. I feel the walls that have been put between us is what’s causing all of this to happen.”

“How much blame do you accept yourself for what she’s going through now?” Billy asked him.

“I’m accountable for what I’ve done. I put myself in the position of acting out in the wrong way. I wound up in jail. I was arrested. It’s unfortunate Lindsay is experiencing what I did,” Michael said.
