Kate Major was arrested on Tuesday for assaulting a family or household member, with Michael Lohan claiming she threw a knife at him and sources alleging she struck him in the face, leaving him with a bloody nose. A protective order bars Kate Major from contact with Michael Lohan, and the judge set her bond at $35,000, imposing release conditions including no contact with him, along with bans on alcohol, drugs, and weapons. Michael Lohan was previously charged with 'continuous violence against the family' in an incident that triggered a probation violation, keeping him behind bars until October 2025.
Kate Major's lawyer said she could be left with nowhere to live due to the protective order, as she is currently unemployed and struggling financially, and asked the judge to declare her 'indigent'. The altercation reportedly occurred when Kate Major had been at the home for a custody exchange involving their two sons, Landon and Logan, with insiders claiming she had been 'irate about being woken up' when Michael Lohan arrived. According to Daily Mail - Home, Michael Lohan expressed gratitude for his early release and reunion with his sons, saying the incident should not have occurred and apologizing for the negative publicity.
I'm thankful for my early release and being reunited with my boys. This should have never happened. It was wrong! As usual, there's a lot more to the story than what's been reported. I'm just happy to be free and I'm sorry for the negative press it has caused my family.
