Dina Lohan Defends Lindsay, Talks Rehab, Slams Judge (VIDEO)

NEW YORK — Lindsay Lohan’s mom says the actress will be moving away from California and back to New York after she gets out of drug rehabilitation.

Dina Lohan, during an often tense interview with NBC “Today” show co-host Matt Lauer on Friday, said her daughter was doing “wonderfully” after 14 days in jail and lashed out at California Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel, who put the actress there.

“She’s great,” Lohan said. “She’s been through a lot. 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.”

Lindsay Lohan served 14 days of a 90-day jail sentence for violating her probation in a 2007 drug case. She was sent to a UCLA drug rehab facility for a court-mandated three-month treatment, and her mother said she’d be out soon.

Revel removed herself from Lohan’s case earlier this week after a prosecutor complained she improperly contacted experts or participants in the case.

Lauer prodded Lohan, noting that there were some observers who thought the 24-year-old actress had this coming to her because of bad behavior.

“I think that’s all propaganda and what people are reading,” she told him. “As you know, you’re in the business of entertainment, so I think a lot of it is pre-orchestrated and you’re reading things that are not based on fact.”

Lauer also asked her about a belief that her daughter was not well-served by those around her, including her parents.

“As a parent, you have to let her go a little bit,” she said. “When she went out to Los Angeles when she was 19, I had to let her go and let her live and fall and fail and survive. Without failure, there’s no success. I was there in close proximity, but you can’t make your child not go out and go to a club and not get behind the wheel of a car. I certainly don’t condone any of that behavior.”

She said she had put her daughter in drug rehab the first time, and argued with Lauer over how many times Lindsay had been in drug treatment.

She said her daughter’s life has been under a microscope because of tabloid interest.

“You can’t blame it all on the tabloids,” Lauer said. “She’s made some wrong decisions.”

Lohan said Lindsay will be coming to New York. California is “a wonderful state,” she said, but “it’s a different game you play there, the court system is a little different.”

Kim Morgan: Motel Musings: Lindsay Lohan As Linda Lovelace

It was May, before she went to Cannes, before she lost her passport, before she went all Eleanor Parker and was shut in the slammer. Of course, her incarceration wasn’t as bad as Caged. But it certainly wasn’t any fun for the freckled one.

In a dumpy Burbank motel, the woman I’ve defended too many times to count, a woman who’s endured more than her share of gossip, family drama, personal demons and quite literally, mean girls, sat down with me to discuss her role in the upcoming
movie Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story.

Of course I’m talking about Lindsay Lohan, a talented actress I root for, and an actress who should be judged for that — her acting.  I don’t care what so-and-so movie writer from whatever
newspaper or Web site feels about Lindsay’s partying or sexy lifestyle
(there’s a strong strain of misogyny in this kind of critique), the real
question is, can she act? And if so-and-so movie critic doesn’t think
she can act, then I can only wonder whether he or she is judging the
actress for her off-screen behavior. That’s a shame. If critics assessed Jack Nicholson
for his off-screen behavior, he might not have the Oscars he so richly
deserves. And I won’t get started on legends like Warren
Beatty, Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole and the late, great Oliver Reed. And then there’s younger names, like…Colin Farrell.

I revere these men for their work and for their legend. But these are
movie stars. Take off your sanctimonious, hypocritical Hedda Hopper hats for a moment and think about it — since when are movie stars role models? How
boring Hollywood would be if stars had absolutely no scandal in their
lives. How boring life would be if anyone didn’t dip into a pool of scandal every once in a while. God bless you sinners! Lindsay’s antics aren’t anything new — actors have often been
wild, especially young ones. “It” girl Clara Bow (whom Lindsay adores), was for a time, shunned from “decent” Hollywood society because of her supposedly “crazy” behavior. Still, she didn’t have TMZ filming her every move.

And with Lindsay on board, even in the middle of the night No-Tel, Motel, paparazzi showed up — in the Parking Lot.  We were all amused by their desperation. And Lindsay handled it in stride. She’s used to it. Thoughtful, funny and good, Lohan depicted her shoot, which were essentially, stills from the movie (written and to be directed by Matthew Wilder), with impressive,
shifting emotions, gritty strength and intense poignancy. As photographer Tyler Shields snapped the dramatic pictures,
based on an especially sad moment in  Lovelace’s life, it was
fascinating to watch her go in and out of character.

When it was all done, Lindsay sat on the bed with me while I asked questions (and here, simply listened, like a therapist), and she talked quite easily about the sadomasochist relationship of Lovelace and Chuck Traynor, at one point saying the script reminded her of her parents. Yes. She has been through some things.
