Lindsay Lohan to Move to N.Y., Mom Says

NEW YORK (CBS) In a sometimes testy TV interview, Lindsay Lohan's mother said Friday that the actress will be moving away from California and back to New York after she gets out of rehab.

Dina Lohan, during the often tense interview with NBC "Today" show co-host Matt Lauer, lashed out at California Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel, who put the actress in jail.

Dina complained that the judge was "going overboard" and "playing hardball" and hinted that the Revel was forced to recuse herself from the case this week. New details about that will be revealed next week, she said.

Revel removed herselffrom Lohan's case earlier this week after a prosecutor complained she improperly contacted experts or participants in the case.

Lindsay Lohan served 14 days of a 90-day jail sentence for violating her probation in a 2007 drug case. She was sent to a UCLA drug rehab facility for a court-mandated three-month treatment, and her mother said she'd be out soon.

"She's great," Dina said. "She's been through a lot. The judge played hardball. Lindsay was in with alleged murderers and she's become friends with a lot of them. Lindsay rolled with the punches and she's doing wonderfully."

Lauer prodded Lohan, noting that there were some observers who thought the 24-year-old actress had this coming to her because of bad behavior.

"I think that's all propaganda and what people are reading," she told him. "As you know, you're in the business of entertainment, so I think a lot of it is pre-orchestrated and you're reading things that are not based on fact."

Lauer also asked her about a belief that her daughter was not well-served by those around her, including her parents.

"As a parent, you have to let her go a little bit," she said. "When she went out to Los Angeles when she was 19, I had to let her go and let her live and fall and fail and survive. Without failure, there's no success. I was there in close proximity, but you can't make your child not go out and go to a club and not get behind the wheel of a car. I certainly don't condone any of that behavior."

Michael Lohan said in an interview Friday on CBS' "The Early Show" that his ex-wife should be out of their daughter's career.

"They're gonna do what they're gonna do when they turn 18, 19," Dina said. "... And you kind of lose a little power and control, which you want to do for your child. You want to let them go. Without failure, there's no success."

Said Lauer: "You're confident she'll come through it?"

"She's already through it," Dina said.
