Holland had accused Lohan of throwing a phone at her after being caught allegedly drinking and violating curfew -- a charge the starlet has denied.
"I am not considering prosecuting this woman because Betty Ford was great to Lindsay," Dina told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive new interview.
"They did the right thing, they let her (Holland) go immediately."
Holland has also dropped the charges of battery against Lohan, although the Los Angeles County Probation Department and a Beverly Hills judge could still find that the troubled star violated probation.
For its part, Sheriff's investigators want Lohan charged.
