LOHAN’S FATHER: ‘LINDSAY WANTS TO GO TO JAIL’
LINDSAY LOHAN’s father is convinced the troubled actress would prefer jai l time to rehab - and that’s why she has jetted to the Cannes Film Festiv al in France just days before her probation hearing in Los Angeles.
The Mean Girls star is due to appear before Judge Marsha Revel at Bever ly Hills Courthouse and, according to reports, hasn’t completed court-ord ered alcohol education classes, as per the terms of her probation. The pu nishment stems from an incident in 2007 when she pleaded guilty to cocain e use and no contest to drink-driving and reckless driving charges.
As a result, Lohan could face a jail spell for testing the law, and her estranged father is convinced that’s just what she wants.
He tells X17online.com, "She thinks that three days in jail is better t han 60 days in rehab and she’s sadly mistaken. Lindsay doesn’t realise ho w horrible it is to be in jail for one, two, three days or longer. It’s s omething that would stick with her for the rest of her life and she doesn ‘t need any more torment." His lawyer Lisa Bloom adds, "The last time Lindsay went to jail, it was only for 84 minutes, so she probably feels that if she gets jail time, i t will be for a short period of time. If she thinks that, she’s playing w ith fire.
"I hope she’s back (from Cannes) in time. She’s known all along that th is hearing was coming up. Unfortunately, Lindsay decided to risk going to Europe… When you have a court date, come hell or high water, you be th ere.
"If she fails to show up for Thursday’s hearing, it’s almost certain sh e’ll be going to jail. She needs to show respect for the courts and let t he judge know that she’ll be attending her classes. Showing up on Thursda y is absolutely critical." Reports suggest if the actress does not show up for court, a warrant fo r her arrest will be issued.
