Lindsay Lohan lindsamdad.jpg

There are reports of Samantha writing a tell-all about her relationship with Lindsay (because who really cares about anything else in her life) and news of Lilo's dad Michael saying what a bad influence Sam is on his daughter.

So X17 went to the source -- Michael Lohan himself -- to set the record straight and basically, it's all true!!! ...

    X17: Is it true that Sam is writing a book that will include details about her relationship with Lindsay?


    ML: Dina said to me the other day, and you can hear it on my voicemail, 'Did you hear that Sam's writing a book?' So it seems it may be true. Samantha's a control freak and she's using Lindsay to further her career. Lindsay's been sold out by so many people in the past, Sam would just be another name on the list.

    X17: Why is Samantha bad for Lindsay?

    ML: She's feeding Lindsay alcohol behind the scenes, but that's really Lindsay's fault for taking it -- it's not about drugs or alcohol. A person can be a drug and Sam is a drug. She's very controlling and manipulative and it's not a healthy relationship for Lindsay.

    I told Lindsay after she left Cirque Lodge that she needed to surround herself with good people when she got out and Sam and her friend Patrick are definitely not those good people. The only people responsible for keeping Lindsay on track are her sober companion, her assistant, and Blair Berk -- and, I hope, myself ... definitely not Dina.

    X17: Where does Dina stand on all of this?

    ML: I blame a lot of Lindsay's problems on Dina -- she's two-faced and plays both sides of the coin. She tells me it's important to get Sam out of Lindsay's life and then she turns around and has dinner with them!

    Everyone around Lindsay who really cares about her is saying 'Get Sam out of Lindsay's life," and so does Dina, until there's a photo op.

    We were supposed to have a family meeting the night she went out to dinner with Sam and her mom and Lindsay and Dina just skipped out -- just after telling me all about how Sam has a negative affect on Lindsay's life.

    So I'm calling my lawyers, going back to court, and I'm going to hit her where it hurst - the wallet. I gave Dina everything in the divorce, just so I would get to see my kids and now she does this to her own child.

    X17: What do you say about accusations from the media that you're attacking Sam simply don't like what has been portrayed as Lindsay's gay relationship with her?

    ML: That's not the reason at all. Lindsay is fragile and Sam takes advantage of her and the relationship is too intense and too dramatic. Sam and Dina are probably the two worst people Lindsay could be around right now ... along with her friend Patrick.

    I mean, look at Sam ... does she have an identity crisis or what? I mean, the way she carries herself, the way she dresses; she's a slob.

    As long as Sam's in Lindsay's life, Lindsay will never be able to reach the potential God gave her.

    X17: The media have commented that Lindsay looks better; she looks healthy; she doesn't appear to be drinking or doing drugs; she showed up to work on time for "Labor Pains." By all accounts, she seems to be doing well. What are her problems or issues right now?

    ML: It's not about Sam giving Lindsay drugs or alcohol or anything -- there are prescription drugs from doctors -- psychotropic drugs, antidepressants -- that have a serious effect on a person. And I would like to put that out there. These things can mess with a person's mind.

    I see some parallels between Britney and Lindsay -- the instability, the domineering companion. Lindsay's not in the state that Britney was or is, but there are minor similarities. Just because a person's not abusing drugs or alcohol doesn't mean they're healthy. And Lindsay being with Sam is making matters worse.

    I would sacrifice my own life to get Sam out of Lindsay's.
