EXCLUSIVE: Dawn Holland's New Lawyer: She Hasn't Signed Anything
Jan. 22 2011, Published 8:31 a.m. ET
The fired Betty Ford worker who accused Lindsay Lohan of criminal battery -- then retreated from her police complaint before striking a financial deal with the actress' father Michael -- never signed any agreement, according to her new lawyer.
"I can confirm that no settlement has been reached by my client and any other party - she did not agree to anything nor has she signed anything either," Owen Latham McIntosh told RadarOnline.com, in an exclusive interview.
We broke that story that Holland secretly cut a $25,000 deal after refusing to cooperate with the police investigation into her altercation with the 24-year-old actress.
Holland denied there was ever a deal.
But in a stunning turn of events, Michael confirmed RadarOnline.com's exclusive report and contradicted the ex-chemical technician's denial, confessing that he agreed to pay a "greedy" Holland an undisclosed "number".
He said: "Dawn has had her attorney meet with me, negotiate with me and even propose a "deal" with me, her lawyer and Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Holly (Chapman) -- and while I agreed to Dawn Holland's initial "number", to procure financial stability due to getting fired, she got greedy and took it to another level.
"Dawn DEMANDED that Lindsay agree to a sit down interview to make 'amends' for the sake of the public NOT because Dawn wanted to set the record straight, but because she negotiated a deal to make more money from the interview."
