Lindsay Lohan has been the butt of many jokes after being arrested for the second time in two months for driving under the influence. But her mother Dina isn’t laughing.

In an interview with The Insider, Dina Lohan strikes back at Jay Leno for lampooning her daughter on his talk show Tuesday.

"In regards to the Leno show, I respect Jay, but it wasn't funny. This is our life here and addiction isn't funny," Dina says in the interview, which airs Thursday.

Lindsay was scheduled to be a guest on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno but cancelled just hours prior to her appearance after she was arrested earlier that morning for cocaine possession, driving with a suspended license and driving under the influence.

In Lohan’s place, actor-comedian Rob Schneider dressed up to look like Lohan while he mocked her hard-partying ways.

The actress only turned 21 last month but has already had two stints in rehab since January. "I pray for the thousands of families going through this," says Dina. "Teen drug addiction runs rampant and we are not the only family suffering from this. My heart goes out to families going through this pain."

Though Lindsay’s little sister, Ali, 13, sent an email to 24sizzler.com on Wednesday addressing Lindsay’s recent troubles, Dina tells The Insider that they will not be giving any more interviews in the near future.

"This is a private matter and every phone is ringing off the hook. Everyone wants a story from us," says Dina. "This is a personal, private matter and I chose not to speak to the press in respect for the family at this time."
