Michael Lohan to sue tell-all bodyguard
Lindsay Lohan's father Michael is set to launch a legal suit against his daughter's former bodyguard following comments the minder made about him and his estranged wife Dina.
Tony Almeida, who was Lohan's bodyguard for three years from 2002, sat down for exclusive interviews with U.S. TV news show Entertainment Tonight and magazine In Touch to talk about his concerns for his former client after she checked into her third rehab facility this year.
Almeida squarely blamed the actress' parents for not showing enough control around their daughter - and allowing her to run wild from an early age.
The bodyguard also claimed to have been a witness to Lindsay's underage drinking and a fight she had with her father on a New York freeway, which Michael Lohan denies.
And he tells In Touch he once hired 24-hour surveillance to keep Michael away from his estranged daughter, revealing: "Early one morning, he actually got inside her house through the pool area. Lindsay was terrified."
Michael Lohan insists he isn't going to let the bodyguard get away with his efforts to make money from selling what he claims are lies and inaccuracies.
Michael Lohan says: "Why he would say such things, I can only speculate. Tony is destitute. He is scraping from the bottom of the barrel.
"I pray for him. He's selling these interviews for money and he's going to get sued for far beyond any money he would have made."
