We'll say one thing for Lindsay Lohan's father... he's clearly a man of his word.

Michael Lohan has been banging on about how he's going to release telephone conversations with his daughter to back up his claims of her approaching meltdown.

And mysteriously, an audio tape of one such phonecall was obtained by gossip site TMZ.

In the clip, Lohan can be heard sobbing to her father, "Mommy says that I'm worse than you were. She doesn't back me... She doesn't stand by me... No one cares about me. They don't, by the way. It's about how they feel, not how I feel.

"It's not about me. It's never been about me, unless I fight for it."

But Lindsay has already hit back at her dad, who recently said in an interview that she looked "100 years old".

The actress made her feelings clear via Twitter, writing: "My fathers such a loser & those recordings are from years ago.

"To release personal things is foul enough, but to edit them. I used to think That he needed the book for dummies on learning how to be a father.

"Haha-he's needs the book for dummies on HOW TO BE A MAN."

It has now, unsurprisingly, been confirmed that Lindsay will be seeking a restraining order against her dad, and there is a distinct possibility that a defamation lawsuit could also be on its way.
