Lindsay Lohan's dad reveals her cutting: 'I'm going to prove who the real liars are'

In an effort to let people know "who the real liars are", Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael, has released tapes to RadarOnline.com that reveal conversations between him and mom Dina discussing Lindsay "cutting herself".

In an exclusive interview, Michael told RadarOnline.com he released the tapes to get Lindsay "the help she needs" and hopefully get Lilo into rehab.

"I admit, I'm being a bit selfish in releasing the tapes," he told RadarOnline. "But I'm tired of being lied about. I'm tired of Dina and others making me out to be someone I'm not, so now I'm going to prove to the world who the real liars are."

Lindsay Lohan came under public media speculation for her party-hard habits when she showed up to a New York party looking more like D.Versace than a 23-year-old starlet.

Since then, the family battle has been over Lindsay's health. The tapes Michael released, in an effort to clear his name, have him talking with Dina about Lindsay's issues. In the tape, Dina says, "Her cutting herself and hurting herself? Yeah, it's bad Michael, it's bad," the tape reveals Dina saying.

Unlike Megan Fox's explanation of own cutting experience, noting it as a "different phase", cutting can be serious and "habit-forming," according to Kidshealth.org.

"It can become a compulsive behavior — meaning that the more a person does it, the more he or she feels the need to do it," says the site's help page. "The brain starts to connect the false sense of relief from bad feelings to the act of cutting, and it craves this relief the next time tension builds."

Adding, "When cutting becomes a compulsive behavior, it can seem impossible to stop. So cutting can seem almost like an addiction, where the urge to cut can seem too hard to resist. A behavior that starts as an attempt to feel more in control can end up controlling you."
