Dina Lohan’s Message To The Press: Leave Lindsay Alone

Dina Lohan wants the press to leave her daughter alone.

“You know, God gives your kids a gift and, and [they] run with it. Just leave her alone personally, please,” Dina told Access Hollywood on Thursday of the media attention surrounding her daughter. “Anyone in the press… my message is to just let her live her life. Enjoy her movies, enjoy her fashion and just leave her alone personally. She’s 23 years old and she’s a young woman now so you just have to let it go and leave them alone.”

But while Dina wants the press to leave Lindsay alone, she won’t attempt to control what her ex-husband, Michael Lohan, says about his daughter publicly.

“You can’t control anyone,” Dina said. “People are going to do what they’re going to do and I have no control over that. I have to just stay focused and love my kids and hug them at night and know what they’re going to do.”

Dina also said she had little to say about Michael’s recent claim to Access that his daughter is on a host of prescription drugs.“That’s what Michael’s saying and if Michael believes that, that’s Michael’s call,” Dina said before turning her talk to the paparazzi attention surrounding their daughter.

“You know, just leave her alone and let her live her life. If you lived a day in the life of my child, you would cry probably because there’s so many paparazzi.

“It definitely hurts these kids you know, and it’s really, it’s sad,” Dina continued. “They need to stop and just appreciate her movies and appreciate ‘The Parent Trap’ and whatever. She’s done 12 movies at 23 and no one pushed her. She loves her art. Let her create and her personal life is her personal life… That’s how it is.”

As for Dina, she is creating too. She just signed up as the national spokesmodel for LoveMyShoes.com, and she will be launching her own line of shoes sometimes before Mother’s Day 2010.

But they won’t go under the brand ShoeHan, as some have suggested.

“I just want to say one thing — the name is not ShoeHan,” she said. “It was a joke. The name is not out because everyone will buy it out on MySpace… We’re not going to launch the name until actually the shoe comes out. It’s a really, it’s a nice name.”
