New
York
(ANI):
Lindsay
Lohan's
former
bodyguard
has
revealed
that
her
parents
have
to
be
blamed
for
the
starlet's
bad
behaviour,
for
both
Michael
and
Dina
Lohan
'were
wild,
abusive,
neglectful
partiers'.
Tony
Almeida,
who
worked
with
the
Mean
Girls
star
between
2002-2005,
has
opened
the
lid
on
how
she
had
to
deal
with
her
parent's
alcohol
and
drug
related
abuses
from
a
young
age.
"From
a
young
age,
she
dealt
with
her
father's
physical,
emotional
and
drug
abuses
as
well
as
her
mother's
drinking," the
New
York
Post
quoted
him,
as
saying.
Citing
one
incident,
he
said
that
once
a
furious
Michael
Lohan
had
'slammed
on
the
brakes
and
dragged
her
out
of
the
car,
pushed
her
up
against
the
hood,
screamed
at
her
and
called
her
a
slut
on
the
Long
Island
Expressway.'
Almeida
'got
in
the
middle
of
it
and
pulled
him
off.'
"(Meanwhile,
Dina
often)
let
her
do
whatever
she
wanted,
just
to
keep
her
happy
and
working
.
.
.
[At
her
16th
birthday
party]
Lindsay
drank
whatever
she
wanted
-
I
saw
her
drinking
beer
and
mixed
drinks
with
my
own
eyes
[without
Dina's
intervention]," he
added.
The
ex-bodyguard
also
said
that
Dina
looked
at
the
starlet
as
a
cash
cow
and
only
allowed
her
to
have
10
per
cent
of
her
earnings.
"Lindsay
was
the
family
cash
cow
-
and
she
resented
it.
They
counted
on
her
to
pay
their
bills
.
.
.
I
saw
Lindsay
exhausted,
begging
her
mother
for
some
time
off,"
he
said.
When
Lohan
was
15,
they
allowed
her
to
share
a
room
with
then
boyfriend
Aaron
Carter,
for
they
were
glad
that
she
found
someone
who
could
help
her
in
her
singing
career.
"They
knew
Lindsay
was
sleeping
in
Aaron's
room.
But
they
seemed
happy
she
had
chosen
somebody
who
could
benefit
her
singing
career,"
he
added.
Lindsay
Lohan's
dad
has
hit
out
against
the
actress' ex
-bodyguard
who
claimed
that
her
parents'
negligent
and
wild
ways
have
contributed
to
the
young
star's
current
health
and
legal
problems.
In
an
interview
to
In
Touch,
Tony
Almeida
said
both
Michael
and
Dina
Lohan
were
'wild,
abusive,
neglectful
partiers'.
Michael
slammed
Almeida's
statements
and
said
that
the
latter
is
a
'desperate
and
disgruntled
employee
who
will
do
anything
for
money'.
He
added
that
the
bodyguard
himself
has
been
neglecting
his
own
family
and
is
a
drug
addict.
"It
is
sad
to
say
but
Tony
Almeida
is
a
desperate
and
disgruntled
employee
who
is
destitute
and
will
do
anything
for
money.
In
doing
this
he
has
violated
a
confidentiality
agreement
which
proves
is
lack
of
integrity," OK!
Magazine
quoted
him,
as
saying.
"Furthermore
he
is
a
man
who
is
passing
the
buck
because
it
is
he
who
has
neglected
his
disable
son
and
entire
family
in
Brazil
for
20
years.
How
can
he
castigate
myself
and
the
members
of
my
family
about
illegal
drug
use
when
he
uses
steroids
that
fuel
his
own
rage
(perhaps
even
worse
than
the
rage
he
attributes
to
me)?
Yet
again,
this
is
an
instance
of
someone
living
off
Lindsay
and
our
family
for
their
own
personal
gain,'
he
added.
Insisting
that
the
dejected
bodyguard
has
got
very
'creative',
Michael
also
denied
other
claims
made
by
Almeida
including,
that
he
had
beaten
up
the
'Mean
Girls'
star,
and
that
the
starlet
has
been
cash
cow
for
her
parents.
He
also
refuted
Almeida's
claims
that
they
allowed
the
21-year-old
to
share
a
room
with
her
then
beau
Aaron
Carter,
for
he
could
help
her
music
career.
"To
address
his
'stalking'
claim,
I
never
entered
Lindsay's
property
in
LA.
Tony
knows
that,
but
now
that
he
is
dejected
and
in
dire
straits
he
has
gotten
very
'creative.'
Lindsay
had
a
secure
trust
fund
up
until
the
age
of
18,
again
a
time
I
was
separated
from
my
family,
so
how
could
we
have
lived
off
Lindsay?
Up
until
that
time
I
supported
my
family
in
every
conceivable
capacity.
Records
will
prove,
I
never
took
one
red
cent
from
Lindsay
directly
or
indirectly,
nor
did
I
ever
touch
Lindsay
or
any
of
my
children," he
said.
"As
I
have
admitted
I
slapped
Dina
once
in
1989
and
I
have
truly
regretted
it
ever
since.
Tony
never
saw
me
doing
cocaine
because
I
was
not
doing
it
at
that
time.
I
have
a
video
of
Lindsay's
entire
sweet
16
which
shows
that
she
only
drank
juices
and
soft
drinks.
During
the
time
Lindsay
was
with
Aaron,
Dina
and
I
were
always
around;
we
even
had
a
federal
agent,
who
is
a
friend
of
mine,
as
security
for
Lindsay
and
Aaron.
Not
once
was
it
ever
reported
to
us
that
any
drinking,
drugs
or
promiscuity
ever
took
place.
"Tony
is
a
desperate
man
who
is
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
any
way
he
can.
Lindsay
was
never
afraid
of
me.
If
anything
she
turned
to
me
when
she
had
problems.
Tony
only
had
known
me
for
2
years,
much
of
which
I
was
not
around
him
or
Lindsay,
so
how
can
he
judge
me
or
my
relationship
with
my
children."
