Public Health investigating Lindsay Lohan rehab

By Alexandra Heilbron on December 24, 2010 | 6 Comments


Following the alleged altercation between Lindsay Lohan and Betty Ford Center Rehab clinic staff member Dawn Holland, who was subsequently fired, the California Department of Public Health has launched an investigation into the clinic. The department has not made public the reason for the investigation, so it’s not clear whether this has anything to do with the Lohan incident. Meanwhile, Holland told TMZ that after she asked Lohan for a breathalyzer test, Lohan ran to her room to phone her mother, who told her to decline — that she didn’t have to submit to a test. However, Lindsay’s probation requires her to comply with drug testing. Lohan’s mother Dina Lohan says Holland’s claims are false and told TMZ that she was only trying to comfort Lindsay on the phone, saying, “I stand behind my daughter 100 percent… The whole thing with the woman is a little sketchy.”

    Yeah right…hmm who to believe? Someone who is a drug and alcohol abuser when we all know they can lie and steal until they get their way, or a health nurse at a world famous rehab facility who sees celebrities come and go. Why would Lohan be any special to this nurse? If anything she is doing her duty by reporting that Lohan refused to co-operate with court ordered drug test and the rules of the facility, yet she got fired for discussing it? Shame on the Betty Ford clinic.
    But there are always a few sides to every story. Who knows exactly what transpired it’s each others word against one another.

    she was fired because this was the second time she had a physical altercation with a patient within the past two and because she broke her confidentality agreement

    She was fired because Lohan wanted her fired.
