Lindsay Lohan Moving To NYC

Dina Lohan defended the way she raised her daughter Lindsay Lohan in an oft-tense interview with ‘Today‘ host Matt Lauer, saying she had to let the troubled actress go through personal trials in order to emerge a better person.

“As a parent, you have to let them go a little bit,” she said during the Friday morning chat. “When she went out to Los Angeles when she was 19, I had to let her live and fall and fail and survive. Without failure, there’s no success.”

Dina stressed that she does not condone Lindsay’s behavior — “You can’t make your child not go out and go to a club and not get behind the wheel of a car” — and confirmed reports that Lindsay will be released early from rehab, but declined to say exactly when.

Dina Lohan said her daughter, currently in court-ordered rehab, was doing “wonderfully” after 14 days in jail for a DUI probation violation. The showbiz mom blasted Judge Marsha Revel for going “overboard” with her sentence and reveled in her recent recusal of the case.

“The judge played hardball. Lindsay was in with alleged murderers and she’s become friends with a lot of them. Lindsay rolled with the punches and she’s doing wonderfully.”

So basically, everything was the judge’s fault. Clearly Dina Lohan is an enabler, and in complete denial. I don’t know who I loathe more, cause Michael Lohan is just as bad.

I seriously laughed when she accused Matt Lauer of reading TMZ.
