Rabat – The father of Lindsay Lohan, Michael Lohan, has shut down rumors claiming that his daughter is conducting a romantic relationship with the controversial crown prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, the New York Post reported.
Lohan’s father said that his daughter has a “platonic and respectful” relationship with bin Salman after tabloid reports suggested that they are dating.
Reports also claimed that bin Salman “showered” the actress with gifts and a credit card.
“They are just friends,” the actress’ father said. He added that Lindsay has a “lot of powerful friends in the Middle East, because she is huge out there.”
Michael said that Lindsay and MBS met because of the work “she has been doing in the Middle East. She is working to help people in the region, particularly refugees.”
The father of the celebrity regretted that nobody writes about “the good work Lindsay does in Syria, they just want to hear the bad stuff.”
Michael also spoke about MBS’ link to the murder of prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Michael Lohan’s said “none of that has been proven to be true.”
He added that his daughter said that bin Salman is a good person.
“She feels safe, she has good people around her, and she knows how to conduct herself,” he said.
Lindsay Lohan is most popular for her role in the movie Mean Girls.
Several powerful leaders have faced scandals due to their controversial relationships. Last month, the New York Times published exclusive information about a scandal linking former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri with a South African bikini model.
The document said that the former gifted the model $16 million in 2013.
