The President On Lohan

Filed under: Lindsay Lohan > Drugs

charlie_sheen3.jpg

The father of former addict Charlie Sheen, Martin, is adding his two cents into the Lohan public debate.

The West Wing vet, who worked with Lindsay on the film Bobby, tells TV's Extra:

“The bottom line is you have to get through the entourages that surround these celebrities who are spinning out of control. They [entourages] don’t want to let it go, this is their meal ticket. I literally disarmed them. Some of them had guns, literally. [As a parent] you get in there and fight for life. You get between her and the grave and you say…I won’t allow it.”

      He had his own trouble with his kids. I think he knows what he is talking about. AND I bet he didn't "speak out" about Lindsay, I imagine some "reporter" asked him his thoughts and he answered the question. I don't think he sought out the media to discuss her.

    26. bxbabe says – reply to this


      26

      Patty you doofus ..yes there are many other girls are in HER POSITION…but she is the topic of the moment. She just got arrested with coke on her and he knows from experience because HE raised two sons of his own in hollywood. He is speaking from experience and his opinion should be valued.

      That is the very first celebrity quote that made a god damn bit of sense, and you bunch of f'n asshats dont get what Grandpa Sheen is trying to say?
      Really? You dont understand?
      He is talking about his experience with his son Charlie. Giving advice to Momma La Vida Orangehan……. you gad dam facktards.
      Drug addiction…. wait for it….. IS REAL BITCHES!
      I know it can be confusing, I too at first thought when he reffered to the guns, may have been talking about getting Emilio free from that crazy bitch Paula Abdul…. but try to use your god damn context clues SHEEPLE!

    30. Emilie says – reply to this


      30

      I think Martin Sheen is more talking in general about what a parent of a child (or grown-up) with problems should be doing. Like he did. To save your child, no matter how old, you need to face the issue and deal with it. Which oviously Dina Lohan is not doing. A lot of people could learn from this one quote of his, maybe he should be interviewed more often as he sounds pretty wise.

    31. All American Girl says – reply to this

      Dina is very offended by this. How dare anyone give her daughter advise. She feels she has done a fine job in rearing her alcoholic and coke addicted daughter.

      So well put!! My generation, whether famous or not, has to deal with these addictions and temptations. To truly overcome them makes us stronger, but this isn't always the case. LL is a great actress and her star has even begun to shine!

      Martin Sheen is class and he did a great thing to rescue Charlie from a death sentence…that being said, Martin was not an enabler the way Dina Lohan is…Martin was not on Charlie's payroll as Dina Lohan is…Martin was not using drugs with Charlie the way Dina Lohan is…

      yes, Dina is afraid her daughter is going to die, cause then where will the money come from?

      41

      The worst thing you can do as a parent is to get involved. Sorry if that's not the Cinderella answer everyone wants to hear, but that kind of interference makes kids want to do drugs even more (rebellion?). Let them find their own way, but kick them out of the house and don't give them cash. They'll stop eventually.

    42. Kathy says – reply to this


      42

      I agree with Martin. Obviously she has to take responsibility for her actions, but those around her certainly don't seem to have her best interest at heart. True friends would support her. I've wondered about this in all the recent stories…how sad that these friendships are so shallow that they watch their "friends" destroy their lives, all the while enabling the behavior, rather than helping them get back on track.

    43. FERN says – reply to this


      43

      amen, he talks about it like a TRUE caring parent that he is. This man is a legend in his time. His son is fuck up but still puts his face out for him and never lets hims down. Thats what a TRUE CARING parent does. So Martin Sheen, GOD BLESS YOU Brother.

      “entourages” i.e. means Dina Blohan, Lindsey is her meal ticket.
      Dina Blohan is a LOSER. It’s too bad that LiLo would have to cut her mother out of her life but her mother is the one riding her all the way to the grave.

      When I was here age I acted out in a very similiar way. The difference was I didn't have cameras in my face and blogs "reporting" on my every move. I was stupid, the people around me were stupid and luckily I got it out of my system and moved on. Not sure if I could have if I was in the same position as Lohan. So give the girl a fucking break. I doubt only straight edge virgins are posting on this site.

      49

      i think he's rite. although u can not blame all of it on the entourage. he is saying that they are part of the problem. but he may be part of the reason his son was on drugs in the first place, but at least he fought for his kid. he really did everything he could for his kid. it shows that he cared.

      53

      Nos. 25 and 37 nailed it! Most of the rest of you have obviously never struggled with addiction, either personally or within your circles (not yet anyway). Sheen was speaking as a former alcoholic, as a father of an addict, and as someone who knows the industry and all its trappings. Who better to speak out or give unsolicited advice?! I think what he said make terrific sense and, if Lohan–or anyone else in her current poisition–really wants to move on from this and realize her true potential, she would be wise to take heed. I believe Lindsay is one of the better talents of her generation and I'd love nothing more than to see her do the hard, honest work necessary to get herself into some hard, honest recovery. (A component of recovery involves cutting all ties with your "using life." Her entourage is just the beginning. If rumors are to be believed–and usually there tends to be SOME truth to the more persistent ones–than Ms. Lohan needs to take an honest look at her immediate family and see who is truly on her side and who may be simply hitching on for the free ride.)

      I wish her luck. I know what it takes to battle this disease and it's going to take all she has and more to find true recovery.

      Go Martin!! This man speaks from experience. Obviously he is a parent who loves and cares about his children. Not like that tramp Dina who is milking her daughter's fame for all it is worth. I love when he said, "I will not Allow it", now that is parenting!!!

    59. none says – reply to this


      59

      Why is everyone coming down on MS? I am not a fan, but he's right. A lot of times the entourage wants the star to stay dependent and drugged because he/she is their meal ticket. Sadly, in this case, it's Lyndsay's own mother.

    60. steph says – reply to this


      60

      Martin Sheen knows what he's talking about. He did everything he could to help Charlie overcome his addictions, and he was successful. What did Dina Lohan do - hmm, sent Lindsay off to rehab, then partied with her when she got out! I think the people around do influence Lindsay and other celebrities as well. She needs to separate herself from the people that are having a negative influence on her life.

    61. Margarita says – reply to this


      61

      GO MARTIN!!
      .
      And to whoever asked why he had the nerve to comment on Lindsay Lohan, get a grip: the media are going around asking every single celebrity who even MIGHT have encountered her for 30 seconds or more in their lifetime what they think about Lindsay's arrest. It's gotten out of hand and you can't blame these celebs for simply answering the question! (Especially when they're going to answer it intelligently based on personal experience and wisdom!)

      62

      Greatest advice indeed! Speaking as a "Parent" whose own child struggles with addiction, he is definitely speaking from experience! What a class act!
      Him and Carol O'Connor, who lost his own child to addiction, can give ol' Dina some great advice!

      I like him. He worked with Lindsay and his own child went through something similar so maybe someone will listen to his advice. I like that he is talking about saving her LIFE and not talking about her career like everyone else.

      To #41 LAME, kids aren't going to continue to do drugs even more just because they're trying to "rebel" against the parents trying to help them. This is something serious, not the typical 'go out and get wasted on a friday night to piss off mommy and daddy who preach against it.' Idiot.

      Also, well said Martin Sheen, nice to see that there's still a sane parent among Hollywood.

      My god, some of you people are the stupidest pieces of shit in the world. Did you read the ariticle? It says, Martin Sheen commented…the father of Charlie Sheen…the president from the television show the west wing.

      Also…the person who honestly thought that Sheen blamed the television show Entourage…is a fucking idiot. Entourage is also a word…not just a tv show you fuck head. An entourage is a group of people that hangs out with you and surrounds you(generally this takes place when a person posseses fame). So Sheen is basically speaking the truth and stating that Lohan is being influenced by people who WANT Linsday to remain on drugs and party hard…because it is the only way that they can go out and party with the big stars themselves…(their meal ticket).

      God…some of you are idiots

      I kind of like him… maybe I'm star struck, but I get the feeling that he is an actor that tries to be human at the same time as being in the unlikely situation of being $loaded. He loves his kids just like any other dad, and he's watched them suffer thru addiction. I am guessing that is why he has this amount of sympathy for the situation. IMHO I think we all should.

      Marty & Charlie look like they are at some kind of a presentation/awards show. Marty was likely asked his opinion about the story of the day, young stars & their dumb shit. Old Chuck there, what did he say - what could he say? Marty is a parent who clearly has a shitload of experience with all this. Some of us remember that sonny boy, Charles, had years of bad-bad behavior. AND Emilo was married to CUCK-OOO, Paula Abdul, for what 6 months? a long while back. Wonder why that didn't last? Destructiveness - Miss Paula? But it takes 2.

      THE OLD MAN IS right: ENTOURAGES = wolves = wolves travel in packs!!

      The handlers, the stylists, the assistants, & ALL the SHIT that comes with the fame of being "HO-llywood" celeb can drop your mind into a deep cold grave damn fast. BUT did 'THEY' hear this man?? These starlets/stars need to pull a Dave Chapelle & RUN the frick out & get their shit together ! They've got 1 pork chop around their necks with a pack of starving wolves circling around them! CHOMP CHOMP!!

      "You get between her and the grave and you say…I won’t allow it.” Mr. Sheen is damn right! Too bad Mamma Lohan is having too much fun riding the publicity and being part of that very entourage. Someone needs to adopt Lindsay and her siblings because those kids need help!

      Number 52 (Clover), it dawned on me reading through these posts who buys their pre-teen daughter a bikini like that. Dina Lohan (I won't pay her the compliemnt of calling her a mother) is grooming her next cash cow, because this one won't be around much longer, and DL knows it. Anyone whose child is an alcoholic and cocaine addict long before legal drinking age should be charged with neglect and child abuse. That bikini on a child that doesn't even have breasts was so revolting, it shocked me senseless. I wonder how many kiddy porn sites it is on by now. She buys cocaine and grog for Lindsay and prostitutes Ali. Dina Lohan is not a mother's arsehole and boy I hope she reads this. Shame on you, lady. Martin Sheen, you rock!
