Dina Lohan Criticized for Dr. Phil Interview

Was Lohan drunk while she talked to Phil McGraw?

Critics are lashing out at Dina Lohan after she appeared disoriented during her appearance on the Dr. Phil Show, which aired Monday.

"Is this like, rolling?" Lohan, 49, said, looking confused. "I feel like we're on a date."

Lohan, the mother of Lindsay Lohan, and a Merrick native, told TMZ that she was not drunk during the interview, and she claimed footage on the show was edited to make her "look like a train wreck."

When the topic of Lindsay Lohan's struggles were shown on a time line, Dina said that "if Lindsay lived in New York, five of those would be obsolete."

From ABC News:

It's not clear why Dina went on the show. She and McGraw argued throughout the sit down, bickering over the definition of "inept" and McGraw's ability to conduct an interview. When McGraw accused Dina of being phony and inauthentic, she raised her middle finger to the camera and smirked. 

Later on in the program, Michael Lohan, who's Lindsay's father, came on and disputed Dina's allegations that he abused her during their marriage.

Thank you for this wonderful article on a good man pushed to the brink. I appriciate the fact thisRead More came form the heart and did not hold back. As Sacristan at Cure of Ars, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Rich (as I called him) for some time. He was a man of faith and a pleasure to see. Always with a smile and kind word, you would never know what was going on the way he acted. This was a wonderful and insightful article. It is heartbreaking to think that where there was once love between 2 people, things got to the point where one persons life was destroyed by those who could and did for no apparent reason other than having the ability to do so. God will have mercy on Dr. Rich and the ex-wife and "Judge" should pray for the same given their actions.
