Fired Betty Ford Worker Won't Sue Lindsay Lohan, Says Lawyer
Posted on Dec 23, 2010 @ 02:54PM
Dawn Holland, the fired Betty Ford worker who filed a police complaint against Lindsay Lohan will not sue the actress, Holland’s lawyer tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
But that doesn’t mean that Holland won’t be pursuing other legal claims, attorney Keith Davidson told RadarOnline.com.

"Dawn has no ax to bear with Lindsay,” Davidson said in an interview with RadarOnline.com. “Dawn has seen the hard work Lindsay has been doing in rehab. Dawn is rooting Lindsay on, and praying for her recovery.
“We won't be taking any civil action against Ms. Lohan. Our investigation into potential civil rights claims, and wrongful termination claims against Betty Ford is ongoing."

Holland was fired by the rehab center Tuesday as RadarOnline.com first reported. In a statement, Betty Ford said Holland "violated strict confidentiality guidelines and laws by publicly identifying patients in a media interview and by disclosing a privileged document."
Holland told RadarOnline.com in an unpaid interview that TMZ paid her at least $10,000 for information about Lindsay. She also gave them a confidential document.

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, a lawyer for the Betty Ford Center has contacted the Attorney General’s office about the situation, as it may be a HIPAA violation and lead to a criminal investigation against TMZ and Holland.
But Davidson told us on Thursday he is not concerned about criminal charges potentially being filed against Holland because, he says, she did nothing wrong.

"I'm not concerned about the Attorney General. My client was talking to the media about events that occurred that are now a part of a criminal investigation,” Davidson told RadarOnline.com. “The events that happened that night are now part of criminal proceedings."
Police are investigating Holland’s criminal complaint that Lindsay attacked her.

Davidson told RadarOnline.com that Holland is a single mom who now has no job right before Christmas. "The fact is she loved her job, and now she doesn't have it," Davidson said.

Mark my words, the next thing will be a black/white issue. Hope Holland banked that 10K cause no one will hire her again, after breaking confidentiality. Thats probably about two months pay. Hope it was worth it.

Have heard the latest? This chick is dropping charges against Lindsay and will NOT cooperate if she is sobpoenaed. Her lawyer Keith Davidson said "A crime has quite simply NOT been committed by Ms.Lohan" I'll bet witnesses backed Lindsay haha

Frankly, I don't feel sorry for this woman at all. She was rightfully fired for breaking HIPPA laws. Did she honestly think she could keep her job after talking to TMZ??? She will be lucky if she isn't criminally prosecuted for opening her big mouth.

Both these skanks should sue Betty Ford Clinic. One for allowing a wacked out former druggie to be a counseler under their watch. Secondly for allowing druggie addicts to leave the facility as they please.

It is a Worker's Comp case. She CAN'T sue Lindsay, only Betty Ford, as she was injured in the line of duty. Her firing occurred over a violation that occurred after her injury. She also may have a suit when BF discussed her firing in the press.

I really do wish this tech had chosen not to talk to the press. She gave Lindsay the upper hand by doing so. I believe the tech's version although it probably was more heated than she professes.
