EXCLUSIVE: Michael Lohan Calls Jail Rumors "Bulls***"

The controversy involving Michael Lohan and his taped audio recordings keeps going and going and going...

Lohan’s ex-wife, Dina Lohan, is reportedly trying to throw him in jail over the release of the calls -- which she claims were made while a protection order was in place forbidding him to talk to her.

Dina says the protection was obtained in Nassau County, New York, back in 2005, which banned Michael from communicating with her by email or phone until 2011.

“It’s bulls***,” he said. “I called the house to talk to the kids and she would get on the phone and tell me all this stuff. I couldn’t control that. I have all the tapes to prove it.”

Lohan says during these incidents, Dina would sometimes pick up the phone clearly intoxicated and vent to him about her boyfriend and other problems in her life.

Dina has spoken out to the press calling Michael’s decision to release the audio tapes “unforgivable” and says neither she nor their children communicated since tapes were made public.

Lohan maintains that he only released the tapes to show the dire extent of Lindsay’s problems and to prove his claims.
