Lindsay Lohan's Mum: 'Dad's Abuse Screwed Her Up'

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina has blamed her father for her troubled behaviour, accusing Michael of abusing her when they were married.

Speaking to the New York Daily News, the 50-year old claimed that domestic violence was the root of LiLo's problems, which have seen her in trouble with the law.

Dina alleged: "Lindsay saw her dad Michael abuse me. That’s why she’s so screwed up.”

Lohan's mum went on to explain how she decided to speak out after seeing an old snap of herself sporting a black eye as she posed with Lindsay as a baby.

She continued: "Michael beat the hell out of me. When Lindsay saw the photo, she was furious.

"She said, ‘Tell the world! Talk about it!’ She saw a lot of crazy stuff. I want the world to know the root of her problems.”

Michael has since denied Dina's allegations, stating that her claims are "evil lies."

The 26-year old also hit the headlines this week after her court appearance regarding her NYC assault case was delayed.
