Lindsay Lohan’s father arrested on domestic violence charge after allegedly flipping wife out of chair

Michael Lohan is being held on a $30,000 bond, according to authorities

Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, has been arrested in Texas and charged with domestic violence after he allegedly flipped his estranged wife, Kate Major, out of a chair.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office said Major, 42, was at a medical appointment on Friday, February 21, when she noticed Michael, 62, in the parking lot and became “concerned he was following her.”

A 911 call was placed, and when police arrived, Major told them that Michael had “flipped her out of a chair at their residence a few days earlier.”

Authorities confirmed to People magazine that a female officer had seen visible bruising on Major’s body. Afterward, police said they visited Michael at his home, where he was “arrested without incident.”

A spokesperson for HCSO added to Page Six that the 64-year-old was charged with “continuous violence against the family.”

He is currently being held on a $30,000 bond on a charge of Continuous Family Violence, HCSO stated.

A representative for Michael was not immediately obtainable. The Independent has contacted representatives for Lindsay for comment.

Michael, who has been married to Major since 2014, was previously arrested in 2020 for allegedly assaulting Major at a Southhampton residence, with police saying at the time that he was “verbally and physically abusive.”

The following year, he was arrested on charges that he illegally took kickbacks for referring patients to a substance abuse treatment center.

Major is Michael’s second wife, with whom he shares two sons Landon, 12, and Logan, 10. The pair briefly lost custody of their children in 2015 after a video emerged of them fighting in front of the boys. Michael’s mother was granted temporary custody of Landon and Logan.

In 2018, Major filed for divorce from Michael a month after she had been arrested for simple battery after allegedly throwing a glass candle at Michael, which shattered and left him with a cut on his arm. Prosecutors later dropped the charges citing insufficient evidence.

Michael was previously married to Dina Lohan from 1985 to 2007. They share four children: Aliana, Dakota, Michael Jr., and Freaky Friday star Lindsay.
