Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, is threatening legal action against his daughter in a desperate bid to prevent her from becoming “another Hollywood statistic” due to alcohol and substance abuse.

Michael Lohan’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, said in a statement on Monday that he has watched his daughter’s life spiral out of control over the past few months as she has been photographed partying and clubbing on a nightly basis.

He is heartbroken about her current condition and wants to do everything in his power to help her.

The dispute between the actress-singer and her father boiled over last week when Michael Lohan persuaded a sheriff’s deputy to help him enter her Hollywood home to check on the welfare of her 16-year-old sister, Ali.

Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer dismissed the incident as nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Many Americans can relate to Michael Lohan’s problem of not knowing what to do when an adult child appears to have a serious alcohol or drug problem.

As a parent, it is heartbreaking to watch your child’s life spiral out of control, especially when they are in the public eye.

Lindsay Lohan was arrested twice in 2007 on charges of driving under the influence, and in the second incident, she was also charged with cocaine possession.

She is on probation for a 2007 drunken driving conviction and is participating in a required alcohol counseling program.

She admitted to abusing substances in 2007 to deal with family problems and said she feared for her life.

Michael Lohan is determined not to sit idly by and watch his daughter become another Hollywood tragedy.

He wants to prevent her from following in the footsteps of Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, or Corey Haim.

He has hired Lisa Bloom “to pursue any and all appropriate legal action to save and protect his daughter.”

The law affords a parent who believes his adult child is not in control of her health and welfare a number of legal options.

As of now, all options are open.

Michael Lohan is trying to sit down with his daughter and her lawyer “to come up with an appropriate treatment plan that will allow her to get her life back on course.”

If that doesn’t happen, he is prepared to pursue other legal action.

Lindsay Lohan reacted angrily when her father walked into her home uninvited last week, stating that she had no choice but to make the incident public due to her sister’s safety as well as her own.

She tweeted: “It’s been going on my whole life with him — hasn’t he caused enough pain?”

Michael Lohan’s acting career started at age 10 on the now-defunct soap opera “Another World” and took off on the big screen a year later when she played identical twins in Disney’s “The Parent Trap.”

Since then, she has starred in at least a dozen movies, including “Georgia Rule” with Jane Fonda in 2007.

Her pop music recording career, boosted by her movie roles, has faded recently.

Her last album was released in 2005.

In conclusion, Lindsay Lohan’s father is taking legal action to prevent his daughter from becoming another Hollywood tragedy due to alcohol and substance abuse.

He wants to do everything in his power to save and protect his daughter, even if it means pursuing legal action.

As a parent, it is heartbreaking to watch your child’s life spiral out of control, especially when they are in the public eye.

Michael Lohan is determined not to sit idly by and watch his daughter follow in the footsteps of other Hollywood tragedies.
