More Lohan family ugliness

Dina Lohan's new boyfriend has fired back at Michael Lohan for calling him a boozer unfit to be around his kids. Jim McMillan, in an email sent to Page Six, calls the troubled father of Lindsay Lohan a violent, drug-abusing criminal who never deserved his "classy, intelligent" ex-wife. Last month, Michael had his lawyer write to Dina, complaining she had shacked up in the family's Long Island home with McMillan. He charged McMillan gets drunk around his youngest kids - Michael, 19, Ali 13, and Dakota, 10 - and makes inappropriate comments. "He is no example. Nor is he a substitute father," Michael said. In a scathing response, McMillan rages: "First and foremost, I am a gentleman. I have never been inebriated in front of [the children] or said anything about a man I know nothing about. I did decide to learn about Michael Lohan and did a quick background check. The following is public record, fact and irrefutable: on 10/13/84, you struck, choked and kicked Susan L. Hubbard of Ohio, causing fractured facial bones. In [New York], there are 10 arrest records found for securities fraud, DWI, assault, grand larceny... Dina has never been arrested or charged with anything." McMillan then addresses Lohan directly: "Upon getting out of jail, you hire a publicist and start a smear campaign against your children's mom. You take a photo of her holding a water bottle at your daughter's premiere, and you call her a party mom. You...accuse her of being an alcoholic, a drug user, an unfit mom and a philanderer. You do it in a very public way and force them to deal with the fallout. If you want to assassinate someone's character, leave Dina alone. She is way out of your league. She is a classy, intelligent, loving mom..." McMillan closes the letter by urging, "Work hard, support your children, stay clean and sober, privately make amends for the physical and psychological abuse you have inflicted in the past, so your children can have closure." The Lohans recently finalized their divorce and custody issues, and Dina lobbied Lindsay to allow her father to visit her in rehab.
