Dawn Holland, the woman who lost her job at the Betty Ford Center after the altercation with Lindsay Lohan in which Holland says she was the victim and Lohan says Holland was the attacker, has gone to bat for Lindsay in a surprising turn of events.
Holland said that she thinks the Palm Desert Police should have better things to do than persecute a young woman in recovery, and that jail is no place for a recovering addict to be. Â Holland went on to say that she wishes they would just drop the whole thing, and that she’s suspicious of the police’s motives. Â Personally, I’m suspicious of Holland’s motives – why on earth is she so eager for them to drop this if she really believes she’s the victim?
Drama seems to follow Lindsay Lohan wherever she goes, but this time it looks like it might not even be her fault. Â Dawn Holland, a worker at the Betty Ford Center where Lindsay is in rehab, has alleged that a drunken Lindsay attacked her and sprained her arm. Â Lindsay attests that Holland attacked her first, and that furthermore she was not drinking.
A judge once again spared Lindsay Lohan the indignity of having to do jail time (I swear that girl is made of teflon), and has instead ordered that Lohan remain where she is, doing a rehab stint at the Betty Ford Center. Â This decision was made over numerous protests from the prosecutor that Lohan isn’t likely to learn her lesson unless she does some significant jail time, and that the fact that judges keep cutting her slack where they wouldn’t with others only reinforces Lohan’s belief that she can get away with anything because of her celebrity.
