Michael Lohan on Living Lohan: 'Dina's Trying to be a Real Mom for the Camera'

Dina Lohan's new E! reality TV series 'Living Lohan' premiered last night -- and Lohan patriarch Michael has given his insight, and believes it's just his ex-wife -- with whom there's no love lost -- trying to be a "real" mom for the camera.

Michael, who was married to Dina for 22 years -- 1985-2007 until their divorce -- gave his opinions in the US version of OK! magazine.

He says, "If I were to look at things from a wordly perspective, I would probably have a lot to say about exploitation, hypocrisy and even deception — and maybe at a later date, I might just do so.

"For now, let's just say I'm still trying to figure out if this show is about managing Ali's career and being a "real" mother, or reading tabloids.

"I've had a sneak peek at some future episodes and I will say that some of the people Dina surrounds the kids with still concerns me — again, I can address that when they appear on the show. I just hope Dina takes the high road — like a Lohan would — and rights these wrongs.

"If this show is about the being a mother and a manager, the most important thing is to set a good example by instilling positive values, and doing what's right for the kid's sake. Not for our own!

"I wish Ali, Cody and Dina the best on the show and pray that they get what they want out of it."
