Ali Lohan supports sister Lindsay in e-mail to gossip Web site
Saying she wants "everybody to know the truth out there," Lindsay Lohan's younger sister, 13-year-old Ali, has apparently sent an e-mail rife with misspellings to the gossip Web site 24sizzler.com.
In it, she wrote that Lindsay, arrested Tuesday and charged with driving under the influence and possession of cocaine, will be "fine, she is just going through a rough time right now."
Ali blames their father, Michael, as "the whole reason why my sister is upset with her self and not as cofident."
Lindsay Lohan's arrest Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., was the actress's second drunk driving arrest in three months, and happened less than two weeks after she left rehab.
Ali wasn't the only one in the family working the computer.
Lindsay and Ali's mom, Dina, sent a separate email to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, saying she was "disappointed" in Jay Leno's decision to allow guest Rob Schneider to appear on the show Tuesday dressed as Lindsay.
Schneider appeared in drag complete with blond wig, black dress and an alcohol-monitoring bracelet strapped to his leg. Schneider was booked as a last-minute replacement for Lohan, who canceled her scheduled appearance after she was arrested.
"This is a very personal and private matter and our only concern is to get Lindsay the help that she needs," Dina wrote. "We will get through this together and it will make our family stronger."
David Caplan, senior correspondent for 24sizzler.com, said he contacted Ali Lohan after Lindsay's arrest asking for her to comment. He wanted a "fresh voice" from the Lohan family, and he said Ali sent him the email on Wednesday night. Caplan said Dina Lohan, who is going through an acrimonious split with Lindsay and Ali's father, Michael, knows Ali sent Caplan the missive, and that he exchanged follow up emails with Dina once he posted Ali's email. Dina, who lives in Merrick, will be back in Nassau County court Friday in the ongoing divorce and visitation case.
Lindsay's public relations representative was in a meeting and unavailable for comment Thursday afternoon.
"My mom is a single mom of four children she has always been there for us, she was my mother and father and still is," Ali wrote in her email. "My father is telling all lies to people and saying he was such a great dad and was always there for us, my father was never there for us, My mom was always there souporting us."
Ali went on to write that her father was always staying out late and not coming back for days, and always making excuses for his "bad behavior."
"My sister is just like a normal sister, her and I have so much in common," Ali's cheerleading continued. "My mother and sister are huge insperations to me, they have made it through so much in there lives."
It's not clear how well Lindsay Lohan will make it through her current troubles.
She will appear on the cover of Maxim's September issue, but that cover was already shot before all this happened, a Maxim spokesperson said.
Box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian, President of the Encino, California, Media by Numbers, said that Lohan's new movie "I Know Who Killed Me," opening Friday in 1,200 theaters, won't likely suffer from its star's fresh rush of notoriety.
"I don't think it's going to help nor hurt the movie necessarily; I think it's kind of a net even," said Dergarabedian, whose company tracks movie profits. "In fact, now more people have heard about that movie than would have heard about it before. I just think that with Lindsay the problems that lie ahead are if she becomes uninsurable and unbondable and can't get work in movies anymore. That's a huge, huge issue. That's a bigger issue even than how the public perceives her."
