Dina, 47, made no secret of her contempt for Los Angeles Judge Marsha Revel, who sentenced Lindsay to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab this summer for violations connected to a 2007 DUI conviction.

"I think she went overboard and played serious hardball with Lindsay... and put her in serious lockdown for two weeks," Dina told Lauer. "Its a really serious offense for a judge, she went against the district attorney... she's fired, basically."

As for Lindsay's stay at Lynwood California's Century Regional Detention Center, Dina said Lindsay got no special treatment, and is doing "great" since getting out.

"She's been through a lot," Dina said. "Lindsay was in with alleged murderers and she's become friends with a lot of them... [she's] rolling with the punches and she's doing wonderful.”

As for Lindsay's wild child image frequently seen on the blogs and tabloids?

"I think that's all propaganda, I think a lot of it is pre-orchestrated -- you're reading things that are not based on fact," Dina said, adding that Lindsay's only been in rehab twice, contradicting Lauer’s claim she'd been in there four times. "She's still paying the price from 2007 until now... she was 19 [then,] she's 24 now -- she's grown up considerably."

Lindsay's "under a microscope, and she doesn't really realize she does have people watching her, media watching her -- she cant even go to Starbucks without 12 people following her."

Lauer indirectly asked Dina if she's a stage mom, more concerned with her daughter's stardom than her health and well-being.

"I don't know what a stage mom is," Dina said. "I was in this business before my kids were born."

Dina also said to expect a cross-county move for the Mean Girls star once her rehab is completed.

"She'll be coming back to New York," she said. "Los Angeles is ... a little it's different there -- it's a different game."

She's had so much botox in her face that she doesn't have any facial reactions. They are all the same. When she got upset and when she was calm the eyebrows stayed the same. No movement, it was weird to watch.

Lindsay is the way she is because of her too goofball parents. She just wasn't lucky enough to be born into a regular family that has values. I hope Lindsay gets the help she needs to get better.

What a pitiful excuse for a mother.. NO SECRET MY CONTEMPT FOR DINA. Mom is a huge enabler and will someday have to accept responsibility for her daugher's destruction. As for the Judge, she at least tried to save Lindsay.

Your daughter has a serious disregard for the law and her health. She apparently thinks she is excluded from the rules. You as a mother are rotten. All of you need to settle down and come back to earth and earn the respect of your peers.

And what kind of mother negotiates a deal for her daughter to play Linda Lovelace in a movie that won't be able to get an R rating unless a lot of the grosser stuff is cut out? My mother would rather die first.
