Lindsay's Father Speaks About Her Dui Arrest!

In an interview Sunday with WNBC in New York, Michael Lohan attempted to reach out to his troubled daughter.

The recently released from jail father said that Lindsay's arrest "was inevitable."

Michael expressed concern over the "friends" that the recovering addict surrounds herself with.

"I've been seeing this all along," says Papa Lohan. "It just really bothers me that too many people are around Lindsay because of what they can get from her instead of [being there] for Lindsay herself and caring about her. She's not just the goose that laid the golden egg, she's a child, a human being."

Michael also expressed frustration with his estranged ex-wife, Dina "Orange Oprah" Lohan.

He's a frustrated father and wishes Dina would get on the same page as him in caring for their daughter.

Michael pleads with his daughter, telling WNBC, "Lindsay, I've been trying to get this message to you for a long time now - I'm here for you, I love you. This is about love and forgiveness...I'm your father and that's all that matters to me. I don't want anything from you but to be there for you...You're the most important thing in my life...Please honey, get in touch with me and let's get this right."

What a sweet dad.

He just wants her money!
