Dina Lohan in Danger of Losing Her Home to Foreclosure
Good thing Lindsay Lohan is living in London. The Merrick, N.Y., home where the actress spent some of her childhood might be foreclosed on soon, according to Realtor.com.
The website reports on court records showing that JPMorgan Chase sued Lindsay’s mom, Dina Lohan, three years ago for defaulting on the mortgage payments for the house. Dina bought the manse for $650,000 back in 2004 — the year that Lindsay’s big hit, Mean Girls, landed in theaters.
The lawsuit charges that Dina took out a $1.3 million loan on the property but “failed to comply with the conditions of the mortgage.”
Nothing happened with the case until February 2016, when the bank went back to court, seeking foreclosure and sale of the house. Just last month, the judge in the case OK’d the foreclosure and a sale. The current estimated worth of the house is $892,782, which falls short of Dina’s high-dollar loan.
Dina did not appear in court or file documents in her defense, according to the website.
Unfortunately for the sometime-reality star — remember Living Lohan? — Lindsay probably won’t be able to offer much financial help. Although her name is still famous enough to get her paying gigs, LiLo has had money troubles of her own. In 2012, the IRS seized her bank accounts because she owed $233,904 in back taxes. (Lindsay’s Scary Movie 5 co-star Charlie Sheen chipped in $100,000 to pay for her debts around that time.)

In October 2012, TMZ infamously released a call that Lindsay made to her dad, Michael Lohan, as she and Dina fought after leaving a nightclub together at 4 a.m. Lindsay told Michael the two had been arguing over a $40,000 loan the actress had given Dina “because she needs to keep her house.”
The Freaky Friday star was engaged to Russian business heir Egor Tarabasov last year, but that appears to be over now — really over. However, her relationship with Dina has been repaired since that ugly incident.

For her part, Lindsay seems to be doing well. She made her first red carpet appearance in seven months on Monday and continues to advocate for Syrian refugees. Her IMDb page lists one upcoming role, and she also has that nightclub in Athens.
