Lindsay Lohan’s father has put her through “hell”, according to the troubled actress.

Lilo has a notoriously difficult relationship with her estranged parent Michael Lohan and believes she was forced to grow up faster than she should have because of being in the “middle” of rows between her dad and her mother, his ex-wife Dina.

Lindsay explained: "He's put myself and my mother and my mom's parents through so much hell. From the death threats to throwing shoes at my grandfather's head and giving him a concussion to threatening to kill my mother in front of my little brother Dakota.

"I grew up really fast just because of the situations I was subjected to because of my father. My mom would try to shield me from that as much as possible, but I chose to get in the middle of my parents my entire life."

But now Lindsay claims she feels nothing but pity for her father, as he is crying out for “attention”.

She added to Vanity Fair magazine: "I feel sorry for him. Obviously, it shows a far cry for attention in so many ways. He's not happy with himself. Therefore, he has to project it onto others."

We have to admit that we’re very glad that Michael isn’t our dad!
