It is usually her father Michael who is getting himself into some kind of hot water.
But Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina is now embroiled in scandal after she and her brother allegedly left a charity dinner on Saturday night without footing the bill.
The 49-year-old and the actress's uncle Paul Anthony Sullivan were said to have been given four free tickets to an event at East Hampton restaurant Andrra.

The soiree, which also featured the Great Bonac Fireworks Show, was a charity event for the Clamshell Foundation, which supports local health, cultural and education projects.
While Dina and Paul, who was sentenced to one year in jail for fraud in 2008, were only reportedly offered two other tickets, the pair brought eight other guests along with them, and according to sources who toldThe New York Post, they did not pay.
'They dined and dashed on a $2,500 check and didnt leave a dime for the waiters,' a source told the paper.

'The understanding was they would get four free tickets. Sullivan stormed up at the end and said, "What is this check for?"
'Organizers offered a reduced bill for around $1,100, but then they just upped and left without leaving a tip.
'When organizers later phoned him to demand payment, Sullivan said, "My celebrity clients were not happy." '

The owner of the restaurant Rich Silver has since confirmed that the party did not settle the bill.

But Sullivan is outraged, and says the story it is a 'total lie'.
'This is a total lie. My written and verbal agreement with Rich Silver was to comp dinner for 8 to 10 guests, six people ate,' he said.
'There was not to be any bill. Then you get a bill for $2,500?
'Dina was strictly invited as a guest and had nothing to do with paying anything. This is totally false. There is no bill to pay.
'I paid $500 for drinks, and I will wire a tip tomorrow.'
Sullivan, who now runs a promotions company, has also since got his attorney Phil Solanges involved.
'My client . . . had an arrangement to assist . . . with the promotion of an event,' Solanges said.
'The establishment! informe d him that his entire party, including himself would be comped for the evening, then he was presented with a bill in contradiction to the agreement.
'Upon mutual agreement the bill was greatly reduced. He is in possession of a receipt [presumably for drinks].'
