EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Dr. Drew Says Lindsay Lohan 'Still Has A Long Way To Go'
Posted on Sep 11, 2010 @ 09:40AM
Dr. Drew Pinsky believes that newly-rehabbed Lindsay Lohan has taken a turn for the better, but still has a long way to go.
“I think for sure, Lindsay has finally made the turn,” Drew told RadarOnline.com at the Stand Up To Cancer telethon. “I’m very, very hopeful. But I also think she needs a lot of time and a lot of work…three meetings a day, going to her sponsor regularly, but there’s hope.”

While he says the Mean Girls star still has a long way to go, Dr. Drew also defended those who criticize Lohan for failing to set a good example to her young fans.
“You’re more likely to die of addiction than the vast majority of cancers,” Drew told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “So for us to sit and look at the behavior of young Hollywood and sort of sit back in judgment and disdain…it’s not a very helpful position for us to be in.

“These are people in trouble. Sure they’re maybe not setting the greatest example, but let’s get them the care they need so they can turn things around and then let’s work on our own gardens, support our own families.”
Drew continued, “Focus on your own kids, talk to them about what they’re seeing out there realistically. If they see Lindsay behaving a certain way, ask them ‘does that look really appealing to you? These are the consequences of that behavior.’ It’s an opportunity to teach. What’s in the media does not have to be a negative.”

it's always funny when a pseudo doc chooses to make an prognosis on someone he has never met.

Once she OD's, they need to arrest that Patsy Ramsey PIMP of a mother of hers.

She's said she only has to comply until November. She's too stupid for words, and will revert back to type, drugs and sex. She always thinks she can get away with it.

Dr Drew is an idiot to comment on Lindsay. He has NEVER met her let alone treat her. Don't forget, Dr Drew said her father should plant drugs on Lindsay then call the cops. This guy is a quack of the WORST kind, an AW!

he needs to shut up already. he has no idea what her situation is to know how far she needs to go or not go. the doctors that actually treated her know more of what she needs than a man whose never met her and they seem to disagree.

(Cont.) I feel strongly that it's so very unprofessional to be commenting publicly on ANYBODYS private life. I'm surprised & disappointed that he continues to do this.

I like & respect Dr Drew but think he needs to stop commenting on Lindsay. He hasn't treated her & she obviously doesn't appreciate it. Assuming to know anything about her & her treatment is really out of line I think.
