Recently Jodie Foster was asked about the Lindsay Lohan situation and responded thusly:
“Can I just ask, where is her mother? I mean, really, where is her mother?”
“When I was their age, there were no big 18-year-old stars… Now, we want the 17-year-olds so we can bleed them for all they’re worth and squeeze as much money as we possibly can out of them - and then their career will be over in something like three years.”
Never one to let sleeping dogs lie, Dina Lohan has responded with her own, twice as long, comment:
“It really saddens me that a mom would comment on another mom without ever meeting me!”
“Ironically Lindsay’s talent was compared to Jodie Foster’s as a little girl! I don’t know what Jodie dealt with as a young Hollywood actress but I do know if it weren’t for her mother she would not be a successful actress today! I’m sure her mother made many sacrifices for her to be successful.”
“All we want as parents is to cultivate our children’s dreams, whatever field they choose. She has no idea who we are and what we have dealt with! If she has a question to ask me, don’t ridicule me publicly! She should know how the press twists the truth! Don’t judge without facts!”
Something to be noted here is Dina’s frequent use of “I do know”s and “I’m sure”s. That’s what we call presumptuous, Dina. Perhaps you should let facts speak for themselves instead of responding (via a celebrity gossip website, nonetheless!) to every statement made about your daughter or your bad parenting.
