Lindsay’s mom has spoken out against criticism that she has been enabling her daughter’s life. She has her say in the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar where she spoke openly about many things, including Lindsay’s time in rehab. “Lindsay had to fall and get up. I knew it was coming. I told her, but finally she was like, ‘Mommy, I had to do it myself.’ You can lead a horse to water. You can’t make it drink,” Dina says. But interestingly, she denies that Lindsay is an alcoholic. “[Lindsay] is just a 20-year-old who had to reel it in. And she’s from an addictive personality genetically. And in that world, they give you things like candy. Hurt your ankle? ‘Let’s give her something,’” she says.
But of course the media would think that Dina is an enabler to her daughter. After all, she’s always going to clubs with her! But she has an answer for that too. “Listen to me: Lindsay would drag me, literally drag my loser butt there and say, ‘I need you to know who these people are.’ Yeah, she trusts my judgment.” And just in case you were thinking of calling Dina a party mom, don’t! “Oh, the party mom, the party mom, the party mom! Whoever said that, my ex-husband or whatever, I’m not the party mom!,” Dina insists. “You throw enough pasta on the walls, some pasta’s going to stick, okay?”
Dina also spoke up about Britney Spears. “I don’t know her mom. But I love this kid, and I feel so badly for her because I’m a mom,” Dina says. “The girl is a beautiful kid. She married some guy just to get out of the limelight. Cut her some slack. Her mother, I’m surprised she didn’t come forward. I’m not gonna sit back and go, You’re gonna trash my kid? If my daughter was in high school I would be at the principal’s office. Hello?”
Huh? Anyway, she also said the Lohans are misunderstood (well, if you speak like she does, of course your words would be misunderstood. Note to self: Am I the only person who thinks Dina is drunk during this interview?). “We’re just so misunderstood. My sons are in sports; my daughters want to be actors. I was in the business, and I’m going to help them,” she says. “You don’t like that? I’m living the American dream.”
