Lindsay Lohan and her mother are suing Fox News, TV host Sean Hannity and commentator Michelle Fields for defamation after Fields said on Hannity's show that Dina Lohan "is doing cocaine" with her famous dysfunctional daughter. 
 
 The comment was made February 4, 2014, two days after Philip Seymour Hoffman died in Manhattan of a heroin overdose. 
 
 Hannity and his guests were discussing other celebrities who had died of ODs, including Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson and Elvis. 
 
 The Lohans came up in a discussion of "Early Train Wrecks and Tragedy About to Happen." 
 
 According to papers filed Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court, Fields "falsely, inappropriately and shockingly stated, unequivocally and as a 'matter of fact' that ‘Lindsay Lohan's mother is doing cocaine with her.’" 
 
 "...Fields made the false, defamatory, heartless, derogatory comment in the context of the show's topic... (It) was a direct smear on the character/reputation of (the Lohans) ... (and it) was a totally irresponsible and malicious innuendo ... (that) Lindsay Lohan might become the next celebrity to join the obituary list," the papers say. 
 
 The comment came 18 months after Lohan's father released a secretly recorded tape in October 2012 of his sobbing daughter describing how her mother seems out of control and on drugs, specifically cocaine.

 Dina Lohan quickly denied her daughter's allegation. She said the actress who has been arrested multiple times and has gone into rehab at least six times was "just trying to hurt me" when she blurted out, "Dad, Mom's on cocaine!" 
 
 LiLo later said she’d lied about her mom doing coke. 
 
 Lohan's lawyers, David Hernandez and Mark Heller, said Fox added insult to injury by posting the segment on its website. When the Lohans objected through their attorneys, a lawyer for Fox promised to take it down — but that never happened, the suit says. 
 
 The link for the clip mentioned in the lawsuit was not working Monday afternoon. 
 
 The daughter and mom are demanding that the segment be taken off Hannity's website permanently and are seeking unspecified punitive damages. 
 
 A Fox spokeswoman said, "We will defend this case to the fullest. The remark about which Lindsay and Dina Lohan complain was made on live television by a guest nearly a year ago. We removed the segment from our archives altogether last February and also apologized on-air."

 NEW YORK Actress Lindsay Lohan and her mother Dina on Monday sued the Fox News Network, TV host Sean Hannity and commentator Michelle Fields for defamation over a comment by Fields accusing the Lohans of "doing cocaine" with each other. 
 
 According to a complaint filed in a New York state court in Manhattan, Fields made the comment on Hannity's show on Feb. 4, 2014, two days after Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died of a heroin overdose. 
 
 Fields' comment came in a segment on the show where guests talked about celebrities like Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley and Amy Winehouse, whose deaths were linked to substance abuse, the complaint said. 
 
 The Lohans said Fields declared it a "matter of fact" that they used cocaine together and said the comment and show's theme amounted to a "totally irresponsible and malicious innuendo" to suggest that Lindsay Lohan, 28, might be next to join the celebrity "obituary list." 
 
 Fox News, a unit of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, said in a statement: "Our legal team has not reviewed this yet so we cannot comment." 
 
 The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and to stop Fox News from distributing the Feb. 4 broadcast. 
 
 Once one of Hollywood's most sought-after young actresses, Lindsay Lohan has starred in films such as 1998's "The Parent Trap" and 2004's "Mean Girls." But has in recent years she has become known for her legal troubles and rehabilitation stints. 
 
 Mark Heller, a lawyer for the Lohans, said the defendants had yet to apologize for, or retract Fields' comment. 
 
 "People should be able to feel that if they hear something on TV or read something in the media, it should be truthful," he said in a phone interview. "Lindsay Lohan is on the way toward restoring her career and getting back on track, and something like this can be very fragile and hurtful to her." 
 
 The lawsuit was filed just before a one-year statute of limitations was to run out. 
 
 The case is Lohan et al v. Fox News Network LLC et al, New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 150973/2015.

– It took a while, but Lindsay Lohan and mom Dina are suing Fox News over a comment made on Sean Hannity's show nearly a year ago. On Feb. 4, 2014, two days after Philip Seymour Hoffman died of a heroin overdose, commentator Michelle Fields apparently accused Lindsay and Dina of "doing cocaine" together, Reuters reports. Yesterday, the two Lohans sued the network, Hannity, and Fields for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Fields made the comment during a discussion of celebrities whose deaths were linked to substance abuse (the New York Daily News notes that the segment was called "Early Train Wrecks and Tragedy About to Happen"), and in their lawsuit, the Lohans said it was "totally irresponsible and malicious" to suggest LiLo could soon be a member of that group. The lawsuit was filed just before the one-year statute of limitations ran out, and a lawyer for the family notes that no one ever apologized or issued a retraction for the comment. "People should be able to feel that if they hear something on TV or read something in the media, it should be truthful," he says. "Lindsay Lohan is on the way toward restoring her career and getting back on track, and something like this can be very fragile and hurtful to her." However, TMZ has letters from Fox News to a Lohan lawyer from a year ago informing the family that an apology was, in fact, made on air, and offering to send the Lohans a DVD of said apology.
