Aaron Carter, who just last month got engaged to his girlfriend Maile Hochuli, spoke with CNN this week about ex-girlfriend Lindsay Lohan‘s legal troubles. As you may recall, Lindsay appeared in court early Monday morning to answer charges that she violated the terms of her probation (which stems from her 2007 DUI conviction). While some called for Lohan‘s immediate incarceration, she was merely given a slap on the wrists as punishment. Carter, who’s had his own run-ins with the law, decided to speak out with his belief that Lindsay should be punished more seriously:
Aaron Carter has spoken up about his ex-girlfriend Lindsay Lohan’s legal problem during a chat with CNN interviewer on Tuesday Night, May 25. Instead of playing nice, the “Leave It Up to Me” singer gave her his tough advice, saying that the “Mean Girls” star deserves the court order. “It hurts me to see that. I hope she can really learn something from this,” Aaron, who proposed to his student/dancer girlfriend Maile Hochuli in early April, stated. “They are going to make an example of you now, Lindsay, and you deserve it. You don’t get in the car with two people and go chasing after your assistant going a hundred miles an hour down PCH,” Aaron continued. And what came next from the 22-year-old singer might even make Lindsay fumed as he said, “Michael Lohan is a very good man. He was thrown under the bus very bad by that family. It takes a man to keep a family strong sometimes. I would go and find her,” Aaron continued. “I wouldn’t even care about finding her mother.”
While I find it very difficult to take anything that Aaron Carter says seriously, I have to admit that I do agree with his assertion that Lindsay shouldn’t be pitied right now. I think tough love and real punishment might be the only things that will help her get her life in order and treating her with kid gloves will only reinforce the notion that she can do whatever she wants and get away with it. I think Aaron loses me when he talks about Michael Lohan. But, he is entitled to his opinion … so folks can take it or not. After the jump, watch video of Aaron Carter commenting on Lindsay Lohan‘s legal woes and determine if YOU agree with his assertions …
While the article above quotes Carter defending Daddy Lohan, this video interview does not show any mention of him. Whether Aaron is Team Daddy Lohan or not is beside the point … it’s clear that Aaron is not feeling sympathetic toward ex-girlfriend Lindsay right now … and he’s not alone. What do YOU think of Aaron‘s comments on Lindsay? Do you agree with him?

Aaron Carter is so slimy and I would take his commentary more seriously if he weren’t such a sleazeball. Also, last time I checked his life wasn’t really that peachy either with all of his drama and like, stuff like that. I do agree with him that Lindsay does not deserve pity, but oh well.
The nine year old girl in me will always love Aaron Carter, and that being said, I mostly agree with him. Like you Trent, I’m kind of hesitant about Daddy Lohan comments too. But even though Michael is a fame monger, and he’s using his daughters downward spiral, at least he’s tried to do something about it. Rather than defend Lindsay’s actions, he’s done (albeit, stuipid) shit to try and help her, namely that recent attempt with the sheriffs for an intervention. Dina, however, just stands idly by, defending her daughter’s obvious and apparent addictions and bad habits, and criticizing Michael. Lindsay deserves absolutely no sympathy, and it’s frustrating to see her getting off easy. I’m team JAIL FOR LINDSAY. What about everyone else?
whats up with his hair?? i found that really distracting….that and his inability to articulate a cohesive sentence….also, why was he at dwts? what connection does he have to the show?
he may not be thebest person…but he wasnt wrong with what he said. im not a huge papa lohan fan, cant stand the guy. but atleast hes tryin to do something.
@roxster – im pretty sure aaron was on dwts a season or so ago. * i think*
Lindsey does need tough love and to be shown consequences for her actions. Her dad is lame, but at least he is trying to help her. At least he has shown concern about Ali living with Lindsey in LA. You can’t control Lindsey, but a decent parent wouldn’t allow their teenage daughter to live with their drug addicted one.
Bee, I’m on that team as well! Living in harsh conditions is sometimes the only thing that makes addicts wake up and get sober. They have to believe they are at rock bottom.
Probably the wisest thing he has ever said, minus the dad part!
I think Aaron is right on with pretty much everything he said. I’m glad he said it too. You know it’s bad when Michael Lohan looks like the responsible stable one in the family, but honestly right now, he prob is. I think Dina is a nut case and she’s the biggest Hollywood stage mom enabler of them all. Michael Lohan knows what an addict is, because he is one. He might not be the model father, but at least he’s addressing the fact that she has a problem. Some times being extreme is the only way to get people help.
@ nicole: thanks! you’re right, I totally forgot about that lol.
He was so adorable and innocent when I was in 7th grade and had a deep rooted love for him. What happened?!! Now he’s all creepy and says “Ya know” 89 times in a sentence. :(
Something about Aaron Carter has always gotten under my skin, I don’t know what either. While I do agree with the comment about Lindsay needing tough love and not pity right now. I do not agree with comments about Mr.Lohan. He may be showing he ‘cares’ right now. But where was he when Lindsay was starting to fall? Fake care and love can be worse then no care or love at all to people who are emotionally/mentally unbalanced. Because if she ever does decide to turn to him for help, there is a good chance he will leave her when he gets what he wants(which I’m guessing, is probably to be seen as a ‘good and caring’ father) If this does happen, it will probably push Lindsay over the edge and make her lose any chance she may have had on a recovery.

With that being said, while Lindsay needs some ‘real’ people in her life, That actually care for her well being. I also believe that she needs to start caring for herself and take a break from the spotlight. Move to some reserved place where she can rebuild herself, mentally and emotionally, without having to have any fake people around her. As I have said before, forcing her into rehab won’t help at all. Because sadly, it only works on people who actually want to get better. I just hope that Lindsay really decides she wants to move on with her life, and get better, before it’s to late. Because she actually does have talent(or at least she had talent, I haven’t seen any of her recent work) to make it in the entertainment business. But it’s all up to her.
All I can think about is how ridiculously blood-orange Lindsay’s face is in that pic! lol
ewww..aaron got really old & ugly! he’s 23?? he looks 43! i remember when all he sang was cover songs! wtf happened to him??
