Lindsay Lohan's Stepmother Kate Major Arrested in Texas Domestic Violence Incident
Kate Major, the 43-year-old stepmother of actress Lindsay Lohan, was arrested on Tuesday in Spring, Texas, following allegations that she assaulted her estranged spouse, Michael Lohan. According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Major was booked for assaulting a family or household member, with the charge noting a previous conviction.
Alleged Violent Confrontation Details
Sources told TMZ that the incident occurred during an exchange of their two sons, Landon, 13, and Logan, 11. Major had reportedly become "irate about being woken up" when Michael arrived, leading to a rapid escalation into violence. She allegedly punched Michael in the face, resulting in a bloody nose.
In a fiery confrontation in the kitchen, Major is accused of throwing a steak knife in Michael's direction. Sources indicated that the knife bounced off his chest, leaving him unharmed. Police responded to the scene and arrested Major, noting that she appeared to be intoxicated at the time.
Legal Proceedings and Bail Conditions
A judge set bail at $35,000 for Major on Tuesday night, with conditions for her release including:
- Undergoing tests for alcohol use.
- Maintaining distance from her estranged husband, Michael Lohan.
Major is scheduled to appear for an arraignment on Thursday. The Daily Mail has reached out to authorities and both parties for further comment but has not yet received a response.
Background of Troubled Relationship
This latest incident follows a history of domestic issues between the couple. Michael Lohan, who is also the father of four children with ex-wife Dina Lohan—including Lindsay, Michael Jr., Aliana, and Dakota—was arrested in February 2025 for felony assault at the same Texas home. In that case, Major accused him of flipping her out of a chair, causing injuries.
In 2024, a spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff's Department stated that Major had flagged officers over concerns of being followed by Michael, leading to charges of continuous violence against the family and a probation violation that kept him incarcerated until October 2025. Upon his release, Michael told TMZ, "I'm thankful for my early release and being reunited with my boys. This should have never happened. It was wrong!"
Marital History and Current Status
Michael and Kate Major, a former entertainment reporter, married in October 2014 in Hillsboro Beach, Florida, though Lindsay Lohan did not attend the ceremony. They split in September 2018 when Major filed for divorce, citing an "irretrievably broken" marriage and seeking primary custody of their sons along with child support and alimony. Although they remain legally married, sources confirmed in 2024 that "they've been estranged for a few years now."
