Linsday Lohan calls Dr Phil a 'fraud'

Los Angeles - Lindsay Lohan has labelled Dr Phil McGraw a "fraud".

The 26-year-old actress rushed to her mother Dina Lohan's defence following her shocking interview with the US chat host in September.

Lindsay posted a series of bitter tweets about the TV psychologist over the weekend, most of which she later deleted.

In one tweet she wrote: "@DrPhil You should be ashamed of yourself. What kind of man takes advantage of a woman @her most vulnerable state? YOU are the fraud."

Lindsay retweets fans


Dina, who has been called "the worst mother in America", was slammed by Dr Phil as a "phony and inauthentic" for appearing intoxicated and making rude gestures during their recent interview.

Up until recently, Lindsay had not commented on her mother's disastrous appearance, during which Dina lashed out at critics for condemning her parenting skills because of her daughter's numerous stints in jail and rehab.

Lindsay also retweeted a message from a fan on Saturday that read: "ur mom is strong like u, Dr.Phil is an evil guy. Focus on your work linds (sic)".

Dina claims she was upset and not drunk

After deleting the series of bitter tweets, she wrote: "My last tweet was referencing my amazing, beautiful, talented, strong mother."


Dina also simply responded with the word "karma" to a person who tweeted Lindsay, saying: "It was painfully clear that @dinalohan was uncomfortable and he exploited her insecurities shamefully!"

Dina has repeatedly claimed her erratic demeanour during her interview with Dr Phil was because she was so upset and not drunk.
