Former Bodyguard Blames Parents for Lohan’s Bad Behavior

Lindsay Lohan is in rehab…again, this time in Utah. After being charged with another DUI, being caught with cocaine (also again), taking a narcotic into a custody facility, and driving on a suspended license Lindsay decided to give rehab another try. However, some people believe that Lindsay is not to blame.

Lohan’s former bodyguard, Tony Almeida, spoke with In Touch Magazine, where he had a lot to say about the Lohan clan and how they raised their precious cash cow of a daughter. Almeida worked as Lohan’s guard between 2002 and 2005. During this time, he claims that Lindsay’s parents were anything but parents. One of the many claims he makes is that her parents never gave her any structure during her childhood years.

Almeida made it quite clear that Lindsay was there to pay the bills and support her parents’ extravagant lifestyle. Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn’t it be the other way around? Almeida mentioned that Lindsay had to deal with the substance abuse from both mother and father. He told In Touch, “From a young age, she dealt with her father’s physical, emotional, and drug abuses, as well as her mother’s drinking.”

Despite the obvious need for a good parent, the former bodyguard claims that both parents were neglectful and abusive to their daughter and they just wanted to have fun and party at her expense. He went on to say that, “Dina let her do whatever she wanted, just to keep her happy and working.”

On her 16th birthday, Almeida claims that he saw Lohan drinking beers and mixed drinks right in front of mom. According to Almeida, she was also allowed to sleep in the same bedroom as her boyfriend at the time when she was 15. Her boyfriend, at the time, Aaron Carter was 14. Almeida is quoted as saying, “They knew Lindsay was sleeping in Aaron’s room, but they seemed happy that she had chosen someone who could benefit her singing career.” By the time she reached 18, Almeida states that he noticed the starlet sniffing white powder.

“Lindsay was the family cash cow – and she (Dina) resented it. They counted on her to pay their bills…I saw Lindsay exhausted, begging her mother for some time off.”

Well she has some time off now. Let’s hope she uses it to the best of her advantage.
