“There’s nothing left of her,” he said. “I was out in L.A. with her about three weeks ago when she got robbed. She called me up at 3:30 a.m. and said, ‘Daddy, come out here.’ I flew out and couldn’t even look at her. I had to go outside and cry. When I hugged her, it’s just a hollow, hollow person.”

Asked what he wants to tell his daughter, Michael (with tears in his eyes) looked into the camera and said: “Lindsay, I love you with all my heart and … I am not going to bury you. You’re going to bury me before this is over. I will do anything and everything I have to to save your life. Whether mom likes it, or the public likes it or anyone, I am going to take all the steps I can to help you because I want you to have your life back. You’re not in the right state of mind. You’re my daughter, honey, and I can do this anymore.”

“This guy follows Lindsay all over the place. All over. Lindsay pays for him to go everywhere. He has no job. No job. He does nothing. All he does is supply everyone in LA.”

He also had something to say about Dina Lohan’s recent comments about Lindsay never wanting to talk to him… “I feel really bad that Dina would have to stoop to that level and say those things. I really think she is a beautiful person. If I was estranged from Lindsay, why is it that before she went away to Japan, when she was robbed, that she called me and I was the one who flew out there, who worked with the police, and who stayed with her?”

“I had a conversation with her, her mother and everyone…over the next couple of weeks I’m going to be doing things in a pretty public way. But Dina has got to get on the same page with me. It’s a serious situation. You can’t just talk about it and tell me that you want to do an intervention and then do nothing. When Lindsay doesn’t adhere or listen to what I say about serious situations, I feel I have to speak publicly to put pressure on her. If she doesn’t take my advice and do what I say…the more pressure I put on her, the more likely she is to eventually do the right thing.”
