The estranged wife of Michael Lohan was arrested last week after reportedly verbally lashing out at fellow passengers and staff on a flight from Ft Lauderdale, Florida, to Los Angeles.

She was met by police when the plane diverted to New Orleans and handed over to the FBI.

On Monday (30.11.15), Kate, 32, was released on $25,000 bail and ordered by a judge to report directly to a rehab facility in Southern California, according to TMZ.

Kate was charged with interfering with flight crew members, a charge which can lead to up to 20 years in prison.

It's been claimed she harassed a passenger and "allegedly threw the phone and then rushed at a flight attendant".

A passenger reportedly had to hold her back, with the pilot deciding to divert the plane to New Orleans.

Kate's arrest came not long after she and Michael, 55, had their children, Landon, two and 10-month-old Logan, removed by social services.

The boys were placed into overnight foster care by the Florida Department of Children and Families after a video emerged of the couple having an "extreme argument" in front of the tots.

After being cared for overnight, Michael's mother Marilyn Lohan flew in to take care of the kids.

In April, Kate was arrested for drunkenly attacking Michael, and despite a 45-day stay in rehab their relationship continued to deteriorate when he learned of an affair she allegedly had with another patient.

The TV personality - who is famously the father of 'Mean Girls' star Lindsay Lohan as well as Ali Lohan, Ashley Horn, Cody Lohan and Michael Lohan Jr. - has revealed he is now looking to dissolve his marriage from Kate and is hoping his ex-wife Dina could care for the young boys.

He told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "We're technically still married and she started dating a guy in rehab.

"I confronted her and she denied it at first and then she admitted it.

"I think I have grounds for an annulment. As a matter of fact ... Dina said if anything happens she would be more than happy to take care of my kids for me. [The boys] are very close to Michael, Ali and Cody, and Lindsay [when she] was here."
