You knew it was only a matter of time before Mama Dina weighed in on Lindsay’s latest cry for attention. Lohan’s enabler mother Dina has backed her daughter’s multimillion dollar legal battle over an advertisement which allegedly used the actress’ name and poked fun at her well-documented history as an unstable druggie — branding the commercial “horrible” and “mean.”
Cry us a river…..
Lohan filed a $100 million — Yep, you read that right: she wants 100 million smacks…..– against Wall Street firm E-Trade in Nassau County Supreme Court on Monday, claiming a “Milkaholic” baby used in one of its television ads was based on her.
The commercial — which aired during the Super Bowl and the Olympics — shows a baby boy playing the stock
market and apologizing to his girlfriend for not calling her the night before. The baby girl then gets suspicious about a rival baby, referring to her as “that Milkaholic Lindsay.”
Dina told The New York Post Tuesday that the 23-year-old former child star called her after the Super Bowl “extremely upset.”
“She said, ‘Mommy, help me. This is wrong. How can they do this?’”
Dina is adamant the commercial was aimed at her troubled daughter – insisting the name Lindsay has as much recognition as other single-word monikers, like Cher, Madonna, or Oprah.
“They’re little babies doing this, mocking another child who’s just trying to survive Hollywood, basically. I’m just basically glad I took a stand. I’m not going to let them do this to us anymore. Everyone knows Lindsay, like Cher or Madonna.”
It’s official: They’re both getting high! Do The Lohans not know how many twentysomethings named “Lindsay” there are walking around the Planet? It was only like one of the most popular baby girl names of the ’80s! Right up there with “Jessica” and “Ashley.”
Lindsay’s New York lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, alleges E-Trade used Lohan’s “name and characterization” without paying her or asking for her approval. E-Trade, on the other hand, claims they chose the name Lindsay at random. The star’s legal team is seeking $50 million in exemplary damages, as well as $50 million in compensation and an injunction to stop future airings.
