And we're urging him to stay silent. He's treading too deeply into Michael Lohan territory.

Yesterday, it was reported that Alex Welch, the backup dancer who was on the bad end of Demi Lovato's alleged meltdown before going to rehab, is planning to sue the singer for their physical altercation.

Seeing a cue to look fatherly, Demi's dad Patrick Lovato issued a warning to the girl through the press. He said:

"Demi has really good lawyers and so does Disney, this girl shouldn't sue. She won't win. Demi is so successful and and she has plenty of money, that's why this girl would be going after her. She wouldn't do this if Demi wasn't famous."

Ah, so innocent! He has so much to learn about fame whoring.

She isn't suing Demi to get her money, just like you're not talking to the press because you're a concerned father. It's all about the attention, pops!

And if we're wrong and you truly are looking out for your baby girl, the first step would be laying off the interviews. Demi doesn't need you to speak for her. As you said, she has really good lawyers.

Just be there for her in a non-publicized way. That would help her TONS.

This man just needs to stop. Right now.

Patrick Lovato, Demi Lovato's father, is still talking to the press about her daughter's recent admittance to a rehab facility, and claims now that he spoke to her on the phone, and that she confirmed to him that the current rumor that her problems stemmed from the death of her friend/possible boyfriend David Osborn put her over the edge emotionally and mentally.

He says:

“Demi’s doing great, she’s such a strong girl. She told me she’s getting better. She was really heartbroken. She was really in love with the guy. Bless her heart. She’s always been an honest person, what can I say? All I’ve got here is my dog Daytona but I’ve offered to let Demi come and stay here any time she wants to.”

We think it's pretty foul that this guy is using something as difficult and emotionally trying as his daughter's emotional breakdown and subsequent stay in rehab to get press, and a part of us tends to doubt that he's actually spoken to her!

We really hope that he'll just leave her alone and not add any more complications to her life!

Poor thing. We're still thinking of you, bb.

Demi Lovato's father has made it clear that he won't stop talking about his estranged daughter's issues, and as a result he's received death threats.

Patrick Lovato has found death threats, including one reading "you're dead", which was nailed to his fence.

Demi's dad also received a threatening phone call, which said the following:

"You're gonna die for what you did to her."

Here's what Demi's dad has to say about the threats:

"I don't care, let them come at me. I'm not responsible for where Demi is right now … I love my daughter."

While we're certainly not on Patrick Lovato's side, we REALLY don't think any of this warrants death threats. Violence is not the answer here…or ever for that matter!

Thoughts???

Demi Lovato's mom and Disney lawyers will not keep Demi's dad from speaking out!

Here's what Patrick Lovato had to say about being told to keep quiet:

"This is the United States of America, I can talk anytime I want to."

Lovato made a point to clarify that he doesn't blame Disney specifically for Demi's issues, but rather the industry in general:

"I'm proud that she's working for Disney. I'm just concerned about the industry, not them [Disney] specifically because they have taken care of Demi. Shoot, they give her bodyguards. As far as I'm concerned she's in great hands with Disney."

"However, it's just the industry itself. When you chose to be a star like that it's not the people you're working for to blame. It's the whole industry… the pressures and the time element that you have to put forward. It's those types of things that go along with what you chose and you can't blame Disney for that."

Here's what Demi's dad had to say about his estrangement with his daughter:

"It hasn't been my choice. In the last couple of years I've been out of the loop, that's for sure. That's not only their choice but it was my choice too… as I never wanted to interfere with her career."

"I never wanted to stand in their way because we've been away from each other from quite some time, so I didn't want them to think that now that she's a star, I wanted to get back into her life."

"That's the reason, I didn't want to be in their lives, I didn't want them to think I was trying to scoot in and be part of the mix when I hadn't been part of the mix in a while."

Seems like you're NOT being very dadlike, Patrick. Maybe it's time to be quiet.

After 2 years of silence, do you really think your family is going to appreciate you going to the media to discuss Demi's issues?

Think about it!

What do U think? Should Patrick be quiet? Does he have the right to speak up?

Looks like Demi Lovato's dad has made his family angry by deciding to talk to the press about his daughter's issues. Hmm…why does this sound so familiar to us?

Here's what Michael Lohan Patrick Lovato had to say about his daughter's situation:

[The pressure of being a child star] "was one of the things I worried about when she signed with Disney."

More from Pat Lovato:

"It's in her genes with her mom and dad. Mainly watching her mom. I'd gotten out of it myself. 'Cause someone had to take care of the kids."

Demi's mother, Dianna, and Disney's lawyers have warned Pat to stop talking about Demi.

Here's what Demi's attorney, Jamie Young, had to say about it:

"No one speaks for Demi except for her designated representatives. Unfortunately, several people have taken it upon themselves to speak out — both on and off the record — about a situation they know nothing about."

Here's what Demi herself said about her relationship with her father in 2009:

"Two years ago . . . When somebody lets you down after you've been the only one there for them . . . I had to cut off all connection. It was hurting me too much."

Here's what Patrick said in response to his family and Disney lashing out against him:

"Demi won't even talk to me. I don't blame Disney; I never said that. I was misquoted. Disney has been wonderful to my daughter. Now their lawyers are warning me not to say anything else."

"I would never blame Dianna. She is a wonderful mother. I love Demi, her sister, Dallas, and Dianna. I think about them all the time and I pray they are OK and safe."

It doesn't sound like Demi's father said anything too bad, but if he hasn't even been in contact with her for two years, then it's probably not his place to comment at this point.

What do U think? Does Demi's father have any right to get involved?
