It has been reported that Lindsay Lohan's mother was paid $50,000 to take part in an explosive fight with her ex-husband Michael on a talk show on Thursday.

As previously reported, the parents of the troubled star were taping a segment for The Test - a talk show that uses lie-detector tests - while, of course, their daughter remained in rehab.

Paid $50,000 to fight on TV: Pictured here in 2012, Dina Lohan was reportedly paid a hefty sum to appear on talk show The Test on Thursday, during which she and her ex-husband Michael Lohan had an explosive argument

The site reported that Dina got Lindsay's permission prior to committing to the show, which is why she didn't feel bad about it.

Apparently the money will be used by Dina to prevent the family home on Long Island from going into foreclosure.

It really comes as no surprise, as the parents of the former Mean Girls star often seem to have used her position to put themselves in the limelight.

Poor taste: Michael Lohan, pictured here in March, also actively took part in the staged television spat, though it is not known what he was paid for the gig

The Test is a conflict-resolution talk show launching this autumn in the U.S. that uses lie detectors and DNA tests to settle disputes.

By the end of the taping, Dina and Michael proved that no amount of negotiations can stop them verbally attacking each other.

The fact that the pair signed up to tape the segment for the show while their daughter is going through enough troubles of her own is curious in itself.

During the taping, the angry accusations began to flow when the topic of infidelity raised its ugly head, then the gloves really came off, according to TMZ.

This comes not long after Dina made public accusations, in January, that her ex-husband Michael physically abused her during their marriage.

Meanwhile, Lindsay is currently undergoing 90 days of court-ordered rehabilitation treatment at the facility in Rancho Mirage, California, after pleading ‘no contest’ to lying to police about driving during a car accident last June.

Have either of these parents ever ever really cared about Lindsey? If they did they would never act this way! Run Lindsay run as far away from your parents as you can get, even to another state or country and try and find your REAL self!!

Unfortunately growing up in a environment such as this is Lyndsay's "normal." She's been programmed to act nutty! Such a shame and very difficult behaviour to change.

These selfish money-grabbing attention-seekers make me sick. That is all.

These two need even more therapy than Lindsay, and that's saying a hell of a lot.

They're the poster children for the world's worst parents.

these creatures almost make me feel sorry for Lindsay. I mean did she ever have a chance at a normal life with two self absorbed ego maniacs as parents? I'm guessing that this is what Kim and Kanye's family will be like in 20 some years...

How else are these people going to buy food and keep the lights on? Neither Dina nor Michael (who is felon) ever plan to do an honest day's work in their lives.
