As if the Lohan family hasn’t gotten enough bad press as it is, now Michael Lohan’s name is being dragged in the mud once again.
According to the adoptive father of a 13-year-old girl who may be Lindsay Lohan’s half-sister, Michael Lohan has repeatedly refused to provide support for the teen he knows is his.
The Montana girl’s family recently told news reporters that they are looking into legal options to pursue once they establish that Michael Lohan is indeed the teen’s father.
Last week Lohan revealed that he had a sexual relationship with the girl’s mother, Kristi Kaufmann, while he was separated from wife Dina Lohan 13 years ago. But, he went on to say that he only learned of Kaufmann’s claim that he fathered a child with her after receiving letters and photos from her while incarcerated on drunk driving charges.
“Why would someone without taking a test put something out there like this?” Lohan said. “What if it’s negative? What is that going to do to her own child and my children? Is this for the fame? There was correspondence where she said Ashley, her daughter, wants to be an actress, and she’s so talented.”
In addition, Lohan claims that Kaufmann called and e-mailed several magazines in an attempt to expose him as the father of her daughter. However, Kaufmann maintains that OK! Magazine (which broke the story) was the only publication to respond to her messages and did not pay for the interview or photos of Ashley.
Still, Lohan insists that Kaufmann “used OK! magazine to get the ball rolling.”
Nevertheless, Lohan admitted there was a resemblance in the photos of Ashley to his other famous daughters, Lindsay and Ali. He also revealed that said he has taken a paternity test and will take responsibility for the child if he is proved to be the biological father, though he said he didn’t know when the results would come back.
