However, before having reached that stage in life, Lohan landed herself in legal trouble on several occasions. Her grapple with substance use had completely and utterly taken a toll on the actress’ personal and professional life. To the world, it seemed like the star had fallen into a bottomless pit. In actuality, the consequences of her struggle with drugs and alcohol were more sinister than one can imagine.
In a recorded audiotape conversation between Lohan’s mother, Dina Lohan, and father, Michael Lohan, the former revealed the heartbreaking extent of the hardships their daughter encountered in the late 2000s and how the departure of a late Hollywood actor from Lindsay Lohan’s life may have had a significant effect on her mental health.
The Purported Secret Relationship Between Heath Ledger And Lindsay Lohan
On 17 June 2025, the world was taken aback by the unfortunate demise of legendary acting talent, Heath Ledger. Although he remains immortalized in the minds of movie-going audiences through some of the most nuanced on-screen performances the world has witnessed, the news of his passing left the entire Hollywood industry speechless. The unexpected nature of his death, following an accidental overdose of prescription medications, was what rendered people shaken to their core.
One such individual may have beenLindsay Lohan. Almost 22 months afterThe Dark Knightalum’s passing, news of the late actor being romantically involved with theFreaky Fridaystar, at the time of his death, made headlines. The story came to light in 2009 through Radar’s shocking report about a taped phone call conversation between the actress’ parents. In this recording, Dina Lohan voiced her worries for her daughter, who had been struggling with drug and alcohol use at the time. In light of such concerns, she revealed to her ex-husband the connection that the actress shared withHeath Ledger.
Concerning this alleged secret relationship, the following is what the actress’ mother disclosed:
“She was dating Heath when he died. I don’t know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends very, very close, ok?”

The mystery surrounding their rumored romantic involvement with one another gained further traction in 2011 when Star Magazine (via Radar) published a report on a private diary entry that was apparently penned by Lindsay Lohan at the time of theBrokeback Mountainstar’s death. Following is what it detailed:
“Today Heath died. I’m in love with him…. He was the love of my life. He taught me so much, and he was everything I’ve ever wanted and more. I want to hear him laugh and hold me. I crave his touch and care. When a person dies the world stops. I’m numb. There’s an emptiness. And a desire to feel loved. A need to be held in the arms of someone who understands. But what do you do when the one who understands is gone?”
While the general public never received a clear-cut, verbal confirmation on the matter fromThe Parent Trapstar, these purported claims and tabloid reports suggested that Lindsay Lohan was not doing too well after Ledger’s demise. In the infamous taped phone call conversation, Lohan’s mother expressed fears of her daughter suffering the same fate as the late10 Things I Hate About Youactor.
Dina Lohan Worried That Her Daughter Would Meet A Cruel End
The aftermath of Heath Ledger’s demise pointed to troublesome implications for Lindsay Lohan’s psyche, especially if the purported claims made by the media were legitimate. Dina Lohan told Michael Lohan in the same phone call how the unfortunate news of theCandyactor’s death had“f*cked”their daughter up. The star’s mother then stated that in a state of inebriation or drug use, Lindsay Lohan is capable of ending up just like the late talent.
Here’s what Dina Lohan stated on the matter:
“Because when she’s drunk or takes an Adderall with it she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking.”
Dina Lohan also mentioned how hopeless the circumstances felt for her daughter during the 2008 taped phone call, stating the following to Michael Lohan,“She cannot be alone. When she sleeps here she sleeps with me… she has fears from being little and what you did to us.”In such a scenario, it was required for theJust My Lucktalent to be accompanied all the time by someone who could effectively control her and refrain her from doing something regrettable. This someone happened to be the Hollywood actress’ then-assistant, Jenni Muro. In the taped phone conversation, Dina Lohan affirmed her faith in Muro, who the former believed would save her daughter.
