14 DAY TRIAL // Lindsay Lohan has often taken her dirty laundry to air on Twitter, especially back in the days when she was still dating DJ Samantha Ronson. This could also explain why no one doubted the legitimacy of an account that seemed to belong to her father Michael, and that he used to announce his suicidal intents. Those posts have been deleted in the meantime, and Lohan’s attorneys are looking into the matter, PopEater informs.
Word of the worrying tweets emerged in the blogosphere late on Sunday, and quickly spread like wild fire. For the reason noted above, as well as because it’s a known fact that the Lohans have made somewhat of a habit of making all personal problems public, no one actually doubted that the tweets came from Michael Lohan himself. So, the world awaited confirmation that he had jumped off a bridge, as he said he would in one of the tweets.
“Fiance just left me. My whole family hates me. I spent Thanksgiving with my mo I just cant do any of this any more. The death of my father put me in a black hole idk what to do. Heading to the Brooklyn Bridge. Goodbye,” the supposed Michael Lohan wrote on his Twitter. He even left a message for Lindsay saying, “@LindsayLohan: love you. b ye.” Fortunately, as PopEater has found, none of that was true.
“Gossip blog Shabooty quickly cleared everything up, as they purportedly received an email from a very alive Michael Lohan disputing the Twitter posts. ‘This is not not not me. I do not have and never had a twitter and twitter’s corporate office confirms that. My lawyers are investigating,’ Lohan allegedly wrote to the gossip site. As far as PopEater can tell, that’s all true, as we’ve never seen a Twitter account linked to him,” the celebrity e-zine says.
Ironically enough, the Twitter page on which the so-called suicide notes were posted now shows a message from Michael Lohan himself, saying the same he said in the email, in more or less those words. “God would not approve,” Michael also says. As anyone can imagine, this has already generated some speculation as to whether the entire Twitter “controversy” was not just a publicity stunt devised by Lohan himself. To hear what comes of this, keep an eye on this space.
