Following Lindsay’s gaunt appearance on the catwalk in Paris on Sunday - when she debuted her Spring 2010 collection for Ungaro - Michael has claimed that his daughter is addicted to medication and is locked in a downward spiral.
Although the former convict refuses to reveal the medication Lindsay is allegedly taking, he says he’s convinced her addiction is ruining her career.
"You know why Lindsay's not acting in feature films right now? Because she can't, because the girl with all the talent is hidden and buried deep inside this fungus that's grown because of the prescription drugs…When you hug her she's like, vacant inside. When she kisses or holds me I get chills, and not in a good way.”
So why has Michael chosen to speak out now? Well he claims that he’s recently become very concerned about his daughter’s health, and is worried she’s being taken advantage of by those who he calls "enablers."
"The Lindsay Lohan I lived with when I was married was a focused, intelligent, gifted girl that needed no prescription medication, no assistance from a therapist. Whoever the people are that came into her life and convinced her otherwise should be thrown in jail, because they're the same type of people who are responsible for the deaths of Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson and DJ AM."
Yes, but why can’t you say these things to your daughter, or to the police, or maybe to a family friend? Why the press? Why?!
