Dina Lohan welcomed ex-husband's estranged wife into her Merrick home after domestic incident
Dina Lohan, mother of actress Lindsay Lohan, has lent a helping hand to Kate Major, the estranged wife of Dina Lohan's ex-husband, Michael Lohan.
"I got a frantic call from Kate Major that she and Michael were fighting," Lohan, 57, of Merrick, said Monday, referring to a Feb. 10 incident in Southampton Village. In that incident, Michael Lohan, 59, was arrested on domestic violence charges that he strongly disputes.
"They have two kids, so I said OK," Dina Lohan said. "She said, 'Can I come there? Can I come there?' I said, 'Yeah, you could come here.'"
Michael Lohan and Major, 37, have sons Landon, 7, and Logan, 5.
Major arrived at Dina Lohan's home the following day. Dina Lohan said Major had been living with Michael Lohan, from whom Major has been formally separated since 2015, in a condominium apartment belonging to Michael Lohan's mother.
He told Newsday Monday that Major "was living elsewhere and visiting the kids," of whom he has custody, and that the apartment is "my family condo. We all own it."
Dina Lohan said that Major "was here four days, maybe, or five days."
"I'd had a gut feeling something bad was going to happen," she said. "I didn't want my ex to get hurt or her or the children. So to alleviate tension, I said come here."
Major has a history of alcohol and domestic violence-related arrests, including a disorderly conduct plea in April 2019 in her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, in exchange for withdrawal of charges including drunken driving and public drunkenness. She was arrested on a drunken driving charge by state police in Southampton on Feb. 9.
Michael Lohan is scheduled to appear Tuesday in Southampton Village to face charges of second-degree harassment and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation. "My attorneys have notified the DA's office that we have undeniable proof that Kate fabricated the charges against me and lied," he told Newsday.
Major could not be located for comment. Her most recent social-media post was an unrelated Facebook message on Feb. 19.
