Lindsay Lohan's Dad Wants Samantha Ronson Out of Her Life
LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan's newly confirmed girlfriend is to blame for her personal and professional problems, her father Michael Lohan says.
Michael, in an e-mail to Pop Tarts, wrote that he has reason to believe that recent blog posts condemning him on his daughter's Web site were actually written by celeb DJ Samantha Ronson, even though they were said to have been written by Lindsay.
Michael also said he was in deep conversation on the phone with his daughter recently and heard Sam in the background enticing her to hang up.
Last week, Lindsay hit back at "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis over his comment that Ronson was "controlling" Lohan. Michael Lohan and Francis both have said that they don't believe Lindsay is gay.
Michael says Joe is a "good person" who cares deeply about Lindsay.
"He wasn't a bad guy when he flew Lindsay around on his jet, opened the doors to his home or tried to help, was he?" Michael said. "Of course not, because SaMANtha wasn't around." (Michael refers to Ronson as SaMANtha throughout the e-mail.)
Lohan said his baby girl could do much better when it comes to finding a lover.
"There is a lot more to Samantha then meets the eyes, not that what we see is too pleasing anyway! I mean, what's with this ... 'person'??? Look at the way she 'dresses'? Once more, she uses her middle finger more than she uses words! Personally, I think she is dark, hideous and a disgusting representation of humanity," Lohan wrote.
"God will weed her out of Lindsay's life and at that time, you will finally see Lindsay back in the place where she belongs," he continued. "Not doing independent films, guest starring on [a] TV show, being a guest judge on a reality TV show or making appearances at Samantha's DJ gigs. Is this the Lindsay we all knew and loved before Samantha came into her life? No!!! When she got out of Cirque Lodge everything looked good until Samantha came on the 'scene.'"
Although Dina Lohan, Lindsay's mother, publicly praises Samantha, Michael said that privately, his ex-wife certainly does not. He said Dina called him two weeks ago to say Lindsay was very upset as Ronson was threatening to write a tell-all book about their private life. (Michael claims to have the conversation on tape.) Dina could not be reached for comment.
But the one thing everyone wants to know is why Michael continues to talk about Lindsay's personal business.
"Lindsay is my daughter. I am her father first and not a friend or an enabler," he responded. "After the death of my dad, [her grandfather] and all the things I continue to hear and see, I am compelled to speak out. The Lindsay I knew never would have missed his wake or funeral. But since being around Samantha, she has become a different person.
"If Samantha or 'anyone' wants to blog me or has anything to say, let them, to my face. Otherwise, if they want to be the sneaky, lying, parasites they are, I am ready to really spill the beans, and I won't stop until this dark, evil nemesis is out of Lindsay's life."
Reps for Ronson and Lindsay did not respond for comment.
Meanwhile, on Monday night, the duo offered what seemed to be the first public confession that they are lovers. Loveline radio host Ted Stryker asked how long they've been together, and Lindsay responded, "A long, long time."

Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild sued for $2 Mil
"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis is being sued by a Las Vegas Strip casino for $2 million in gambling debts from February of last year.
Francis spokesman Ronn Torossian said Tuesday that the man who built the soft porn empire already had satisfied his debt to the Wynn Las Vegas casino through "prior agreements."
In a statement, Francis said he planned to fight the lawsuit.
"The Wynn hotel has chosen not to honor its agreement to apply certain discounts to balances they have already been paid for," Francis said.
Francis said he was waiting for his day in court with Wynn Resorts Ltd. Chief Executive Steve Wynn and planned on "exposing how exactly Mr. Wynn deceives his high end customers."
Wynn Las Vegas spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne said she could not comment on the specifics of the lawsuit but said the casino wouldn't have sued unless other options were exhausted.
"We don't file lawsuits against people after 30, 60, 90 days," Dunne said. "This has been an issue with our collections department for some time."
The resort said in the lawsuit filed Friday in Clark County District Court that it loaned Francis $2.8 million in February 2007 but was repaid only $800,000. The suit seeks the remainder of the loan plus costs.
Francis, 35, also faces federal charges that he claimed more than $20 million in phony tax deductions for 2002 and 2003 and used offshore accounts to conceal income. A federal judge in April ordered Francis' trial on the charges moved to Los Angeles because he and most other witnesses in the case live in Southern California.
