“Lindsay’s scared to death,” Dina Lohan tells Entertainment Tonight in her only interview since daughter Lindsay was sentenced to three months in jail on Tuesday in a Beverly Hills court.

The interview was conducted Thursday afternoon in Entertainment Tonight’s Studio City, Calif. offices. The conversation was emotional, with Dina stopping several times as she broke down in tears. Can Lindsay survive jail? Dina says, “You know, she’s strong, but until someone faces something as devastating as that…we’re going to have to see.” “God willing,” she adds, “it won’t happen.”

Dina tells ET that Lindsay is currently consulting new legal counsel and hoping to file an appeal before her court-mandated jail term, no later than July 20. “She’s a fighter, and until the final result — we’re not giving up.” Continuing on, “I think it’s time we get another attorney just to see it from another light and do damage control.” Dina says she and Lindsay spend hours each day on their own reviewing court documents, case law and information about the Los Angeles jail system.

Of the “ambush” in court, Dina says Lindsay was “completely blindsided.” Lindsay believes she was in complete compliance with the terms of her parole and that the outcome of the day in court was to be the removal of her SCRAM bracelet. Dina speaks out against Judge Marsha Revel for allowing the proceedings to be televised and making a “spectacle” of her daughter, saying, “This is not an OJ Simpson trial, which they made it out to be.”Furthermore, Dina questions Judge Revel’s fairness in the hearing, saying, “If she wants a trial, then make it a fair trial. I feel like Shawn [Chapman Holley], Lindsay’s [former] attorney should have stood up and said, ‘Listen, I didn’t know you were going to have witnesses.’ We would have had ten witnesses. We didn’t get a shot. We didn’t get a shot at fairness.”

UPDATE: Here’s video… LOL at the interviewer’s face! She looks hilarious! And also – I should say that Dina Lohan is as good of an actress as Lindsay… Holy crap…

Dina Lohan watched in disbelief as her daughter Lindsay was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail for violating terms of probation over a three-year-old drug case.

“This is so not fair to do this to my child,” Dina Lohan told PopEater exclusively shortly after Judge Marsha Revel made the announcement.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress must begin serving her sentence on July 20, however she likely won’t serve the entire 90 days. Many female inmates in Lohan’s situation only serve about 25% of their sentence, meaning that the star will only spend about 23 days behind bars.

Immediately after leaving jail, Lohan will spend another 90 days at an in-patient rehab facility.

Dina Lohan was not at the Beverly Hills courtroom for the hearing, but her ex-husband Michael was. While he declined to issue a comment following the sentencing, his spokeswoman baffled reports when she urged Lohan to report to rehab immediately, apparently unaware the actress must first go to jail. When corrected by a reporter, the unidentified rep said the rehab portion of the ruling was “a great victory” for the Lohan family.

Dina Lohan is furious that her ex-husband Michael brought the Los Angeles Country Sheriff’s Department to daughter Lindsay’s apartment Thursday – and disputes his claim that the starlet is a bad influence on her younger sister, Ali.

“They scared the hell out of my girls,” Dina tells People. “Ali called me hysterically crying. They were hysterical and petrified of him. I spoke to the [police officer] and said, ‘You don’t have a warrant, get out!’

Michael says he called the cops to perform a “welfare check” on daughter Ali, 16, because he was concerned about her safety. “Ali is being exposed to nightlife and the people Lindsay is surrounding herself with,” he told Hollyscoop at the time. She’s 16 and she doesn’t belong there. She’s a minor.”

But Dina says Ali and Lindsay, 23, are perfectly safe.

“Lindsay is absolutely, 100 percent, not [a bad influence],” she says. “Ali is amazing. She loves her sister. Would I let my daughter go anywhere that’s dangerous? I mean, come on, Ali and Lindsay need to be protected from their ex-father. That’s the dangerous situation.”

Though Michael says he wants to help his daughters, Dina thinks that by going public with his concerns, “he’s creating a worse situation for everyone.”

“Michael’s not well,” Dina says. “Nothing he does surprises me. He’s dangerous. He’s not going to be able to [intrude] again and get that close. Ali doesn’t want to see him again. She has a block on her phone because she was so petrified of him”

Bottom line? “He needs to pay child support and leave his kids alone,” Dina says. “I’m not going to sit idle and watch bad things happen to my kids.”

Another audio recording has been released by Michael Lohan to Radar Online, but this time Dina Lohan is the main attraction, saying Lindsay “punched her in the face” when she tried to take her to rehab last year.

“You don’t even know what I’d go through trying to get her into, like, rehab and stuff,” Dina told Michael over the phone. “She’d like, punch me in the face, kick me out of the car… like you don’t know the (expletive) I went through trying to get her an intervention by myself. It was very difficult.”

The first tape released this week was of Lindsay sobbing over the phone to her dad. The release of the tape led to Lindsay Tweeting to call her father a “loser.”

This release of Dina’s led to a more tame Tweet from Linds: “Good news is, I haven’t called him many times @ all-so, it will end sooner than later!!! Lol.”

Hopefully she’s right!

If there’s one person that’s solidly in Lindsay Lohan’s corner these days, it’s her momager, Dina Lohan, who praises her daughter as a “genius” who just wants to be successful in her career and live happily with a family.

Lindsay’s most recent foray into the entertainment business is the production company she just started, a venture Dina is all about.

“She’s a genius. Such a good heart,” Dina told OK! at the Charlotte Russe 2009 Fall Launch in NYC, adding that Lindsay will also be heading behind the camera.

“Lindsay will direct one day. She loves directing,” Dina revealed to OK!.

And although Lindsay’s acting career might seem at a low ebb right now, Dina thinks a busy career isn’t the only thing to aim for in life.

“You know what, I taught my children to love. And if you fall in love, life is about that. Family, it’s not about work. You want goals, you want it to be, but you still want someone to share that with, so it’s kind of an open ended question. We’re all living that,” Dina explains to OK!. “We’re all looking for love and someone to be with; someone to share that with. My parents have been married for 50 years, we see that and that is important. It’s work, but you want to separate it, go home and have a family. [Work] is not going to be forever.”
