Lohan Was Only Trying To Help, Uncle Says
Lindsay Lohan's uncle says that his niece was actually trying to help her ex-assistant, Tarin Graham, when she was busted for DUI after chasing Graham's mother in her vehicle in Santa Monica on Tuesday.
Graham "is a problem individual and Lindsay was trying to help her out," Chris Sullivan told the New York Post.
Sullivan told the newspaper that Graham's "mother got involved and became hysterical."
"(Lindsay) may well have not been driving the car. This girl and her mother are letting Lindsay take the fall, but hopefully the truth will come out! That would get rid of most of the charges," Sullivan said.
Officers said earlier this week that Lohan and Graham's mother were in a "heated" argument at the Civic Auditorium parking lot in Santa Monica and suspected that Lohan had been drinking. When they took her back to the station they found cocaine in her pants pocket.

Now that Lohan is back in treatment, the method of treatment will have to be stepped up a notch, says Dr. Howard Samuels, executive director at the Wonderland rehab facility in West Hollywood.
"She's becoming a professional, unfortunately," Samuels said on The Early Show Thursday. "There are many people that we work with at wonderland that go in and out of treatment. We have so many people that have been to all the treatment centers. And that's part of the process. So you can go at them harder because they've already been in so many treatment centers that you can start to identify their arrogance and their entitlement much more."
Samuels says that Lohan will likely participate in group therapy, individual therapy and 12-step meetings.
"Really getting the individual to have an understanding that it's not about them, that they are not the center of the universe. It's not about "don't you know who I am?"
