VIDEO: Matt Lauer Interviews Dina Lohan On The Today Show
Way to go Matt Lauer. He did not let Dina Lohan off the hook the morning when he interviewed her on The Today Show. After Dina complained about how harsh Lindsay’s sentence was in the first place, he prodded her noting that there were some observers who thought the 24-year-old actress had this coming to her because of bad behavior.
Most of my friends think I’m nuts for watching The Today Show every day..but Matty L.’s interview are like entertainment gold. Remember the Tom Cruise Glib-ness?
“I think that’s all propaganda and what people are reading,” she told him. “As you know, you’re in the business of entertainment, so I think a lot of it is pre-orchestrated and you’re reading things that are not based on fact.”
Lauer also asked her about a belief that her daughter was not well-served by those around her, including her parents.
“As a parent, you have to let her go a little bit,” she said. “When she went out to Los Angeles when she was 19, I had to let her go and let her live and fall and fail and survive. Without failure, there’s no success. I was there in close proximity, but you can’t make your child not go out and go to a club and not get behind the wheel of a car. I certainly don’t condone any of that behavior.”
She said she had put her daughter in drug rehab the first time, and argued with Lauer over how many times Lindsay had been in drug treatment.
She said her daughter’s life has been under a microscope because of tabloid interest.
“You can’t blame it all on the tabloids,” Lauer said. “She’s made some wrong decisions.”
Lohan said Lindsay will be coming to New York. California is “a wonderful state,” she said, but “it’s a different game you play there, the court system is a little different.”
