Living Lohan Show Sparks Outrage 5/30/08

Viewers of Dina Lohan's new reality TV show have complained after Lindsay Lohan's mother and manager was seen watching a sex tape.

In Living Lohan, premiered on America's E! network at the weekend (24May08), Dina can be seen watching a sex tape of a look-a-like of her daughter Lindsay, when her 14-year-old daughter Ali walks in and asks, "Is that Lindsay?" But the footage riled viewers and many have expressed their outrage on various internet chat rooms.

One wrote, "Last time I checked, allowing a child to watch porn is against the law." Another asked, "Does anyone besides me think it's weird that Dina showed her daughter (such images)?"

Pat Truman, the former Justice Department Chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, tells New York gossip column Page Six: "It's inappropriate but probably not illegal. If there was a situation where a mother was regularly exposing her child to pornography, it would be a concern for state child welfare agencies."
