Where to begin! First off: Carvel gives VIP ice cream lovers special Black Cards. That is pretty amazing in and of itself, but this story is about Black Card holder Dina Lohan, mother of Lindsay.
While shopping for an ice cream cake for her son Cody's birthday in East Meadow, NY yesterday, mama Lohan handed over her Black Card, only to have it confiscated by an employee. She explained the embarrassing incident to RadarOnline:
“The shop assistant said, ‘Do you have I.D.?' Next minute he he grabbed my arm and took my card and held it hostage and wouldn’t give me the cake! This guy was crazy! Four cop cars showed up, there’s a police helicopter over head and this guy makes it seem to the cops that I’m trying to use a stolen credit card—and for what? Over a free ice cream?!””
Apparently all the Lohans have Black Cards, and Dina had accidentally grabbed her daughter Ali's. While the employee stood strong for a while, insisting it was not her card, he eventually caved—but not without a fight. He told Lohan, "You can have the card, but you can’t have the cake!" Carvel has apologized for the incident, but notes that it was Lohan who called the cops in.
The starlet's mom says, "It just shows how we get treated so much worse than regular people.” Hmm, maybe if you didn't go around flashing your fancy Black Carvel Card and referring to the rest of us as "regular people" in the press, this wouldn't be happening?
Update: The Carvel Ice Cream Black Card is totally real—here's Carvel's statement about the Lohans' abuse of the coveted card.
