Troubled star Lindsay Lohan has issued a public statement asking her father to stop talking to the media about her.

Appearing on The Billy Bush Show, the 21-year-old actress begged her father Michael Lohan to stop going public about her.

"I just wish that he wouldn't go and talk to the media. It's not attractive to me, it really upsets me and I wish he would stop. ... I love my father," People quoted her, as saying.

"I just don't know why he's doing what he's doing. It's a weird situation, very odd.

"I've gone through so much and I think publicly people have seen that and I don't find that fascinating anymore," she says. "I think it's kind of over with because that's not where I am in my life, so I want it to be a fun record, I want it to be free-spirited and I want it to represent me in my life now, which is happy," she added.

Michael had recently revealed that the 'Mean Girls' star was set to take up missionary work in India with him.

However refuting the reports, Lohan's friend had told New York Post, "Lindsay was never going to do anything he said she was, like going to India."

"He's gone crazy again. Lindsay is coming to New York but won't be visiting her paternal grandparents, both of whom are sick. They have never been kind to her," the pal added.
