Dina Lohan: 'Lindsay is a genius'

Dina Lohan is defending daughter Lindsay, who was soundly criticized for her debut work as artistic adviser for Ungaro. "The critics can say whatever they want, but Lindsay is a genius," she tells Page Six.
She said that, despite her deal with the French fashion house, Lindsay would also be creatively involved in Dina's shoe line, to debut in May. "Lindsay is signed to Ungaro, but she will definitely have input because she is so talented."
Dina had a final message for Lindsay-bashers: "Leave Lindsay alone. Let her be a real 23-year-old. Let her grow, and let her artistic abilities flourish. Stop judging the Britneys and the Lindsays. They are very creative girls, and that is a gift from a higher power of God."
