It’s not Lindsay Lohan topping up her dad Michael Lohan’s prison commissary account — the mystery bankroll turns out to be courtesy of his estranged wife, Kate Major, sources exclusively tell Straight Shuter.
“Everybody assumed Lindsay was slipping him money out of guilt or family loyalty,” a well-placed insider explains. “But Lindsay has completely cut herself off from Michael’s chaos.”
Michael, 65, is serving time in a Florida correctional facility after yet another run-in with the law.

But while his relationship with Lindsay remains lousy — sources say father and daughter “barely speak” — he’s still getting snacks, toiletries and the occasional splurge behind bars.
“It’s Kate wiring the money,” says the source, referring to the tabloid wild child who married Michael in 2014 but has lived separately from him for years.
“She’s the one quietly wiring the money. No big announcements, no drama, just small, steady deposits.”

That’s despite the ex-couple’s rocky history — so what gives?
“That’s the million-dollar question,” says the insider. “Maybe it’s guilt, maybe it’s habit, maybe it’s some kind of twisted loyalty. But for whatever reason, she hasn’t cut him off.”
Meanwhile, Lindsay, 39, is living her best life in Dubai with husband Bader Shammas and their baby boy. “She’s moved on,” stresses the insider. “Michael isn’t her problem anymore.”
