Stars Whose Loved Ones Turn Into Vultures - Page 2
Lindsay Lohan is the perfect example of a child who had no hope of enjoying a healthy life. As a child star, Lindsay was in an extremely vulnerable state, exposed to the trappings of fame and wealth that can be difficult for adults to handle, let alone a young girl. Lindsay's mother goes out partying with her substance abusing daughter - can you believe this?
Imagine having a child who is abusing coke, speed, booze and other drugs and has been arrested for the same and yet her mother still goes out partying with her as soon as she gets out of rehab! What sort of mother is that? Her father, Michael Lohan, is strictly a no-talent bum who did years of jail time for insider trading and has a history of infidelity and violence. Michael continues to use Lindsay to get his name in the news and himself inside doors that would otherwise be closed to him. He is a frustrated actor who spends lots of public time pretending to care about Lindsay, but in fact is nothing but a total leech. Lindsay even has a restraining order against this moron.
Michael is still insider trading — but now it's by using his knowledge of Lindsay's life to charm organizations like TMZ — he has no regard for his daughter's wishes at all. He must be the most useless father of any star ever.
Our perception is that child stars (and stars in general) are fragile beings, who require even more love and caring than non-artistic children because they live such an emotional roller-coaster existence, complete with access to drugs, money and power. When these people are let down by parents or loved ones who use them for their stardom, the consequences tend to be horrific.
