Lohan's Bodyguard Blames Her Parents
Lindsay Lohan's former bodyguard is lashing out at Dina and Michael Lohan, claiming that they're to blame for their daughter's reckless behavior by not providing any structure for her.
Tony Almeida, who served as Lohan's bodyguard for three years, claims that the starlet's parents were wild, abusive party-happy parents who willfully used Lindsay as a "cash cow" to support their own lifestyles.
"From a young age, she dealt with her father's physical, emotional and drug abuses as well as her mother's drinking," Almeida tells In Touch magazine, via the New York Post.
Almeida tells of an incident when Lindsay was 16 where her father became angry and "slammed on the brakes and dragged her out of the car, pushed her up against the hood, screamed at her and called her a slut. This was on the Long Island Expressway! I got in the middle of it and pulled him off."
While the ex-bodyguard details Michael Lohan's rage, he also cites mother Dina for her lack of involvement. Almeida says Dina Lohan "let her do whatever she wanted, just to keep her happy and working . . . [At her 16th birthday party] Lindsay drank whatever she wanted - I saw her drinking beer and mixed drinks with my own eyes [without Dina's intervention]."
He also says that they depended on Lohan to "pay their bills," and that he "saw Lindsay exhausted, begging her mother for some time off."
Among other claims by Almeida is that the Lohans willingly let Lindsay share a hotel room with her boyfriend when she was just 15 years old, and that years later, she began cutting herself and threatening suicide.

I guess the bodyguard didn't sign a gag order or anything when he was working for her?

 I was JUST about to say - didn't Tony Almeida get blown up last season on 24?
Anyway as for Lindsay and her family, I am not surprised and I have no sympathy for her.
