Rehab Staff Fired for Blabbing

Rehab Staff Fired for Blabbing - The Betty Ford staffer who accused Lindsay Lohan of criminal battery was fired by the rehab center Thursday, after she granted TMZ a videotaped interview in which she asserted that Lohan was "out of control" after drinking the night of the alleged attack.

Dawn Holland, a chemical technician at the Betty Ford Center, told TMZ that on Dec. 12, Lohan and her roommates tried to sneak back into their sober living residence after curfew but were caught by security. She said in the interview she smelled alcohol on Lohan's breath and that the actress refused to take a breathalyzer test.

"She was very angry and out of control," Holland says in the video.

Holland claimed Lohan assaulted her when she tried to call police. "She just grabbed my wrist and snatched it down, and twisted my arm and my hand," Holland said. After a trip to the emergency room, she "found out I have a severe sprain to my arm and my hand."

Holland refutes Lohan's claim that she initiated the altercation, saying, "I did not touch the woman. I am not willing to risk my job over any patient."

Whoops! Betty Ford officials confirmed Wednesday they fired Holland as soon they found out about the TMZ interview, for violating confidentiality guidelines. On the plus side, Holland reportedly snagged $10,000 from TMZ for the chat.

Lohan has denied Holland's story, saying she did not consume any alcohol Dec. 12, that she demanded to take a breathalyzer test but was rebuffed by Betty Ford staffers, and that Holland attacked her, rather than the other way around.

Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone.
