Lynne Spears Keeps the Blame All in the Family
Lynne Spears is verbalizing the thoughts fans and critics of her daughters have been thinking for years: it’s the mom’s fault. In an interview with the Today show, Lynne said, “it’s always my fault.” OK, it’s great that you’re accepting the blame but that doesn’t change the fact that you have one daughter divorced with two kids and one a teen, unwed mother. In any other universe besides Hollywood they’d win the award for the trailer-trashiest family.
Lynne revealed that she first thought it was joke when her younger daughter Jamie Lynn announced she was pregnant at age 16 — in a note.
“It said she was pregnant and everything was going to be OK. She was going to raise it … I thought it was a joke. I was waiting for the punch line,” Lynne Spears told interviewer Meredith Vieira.
Mom of the pop stars said she accepted much of the blame for the problems of the past two years, to name a few: Britney shaved her head, went in and out of rehab, lost custody of her children and was hospitalized in a psychiatric ward.
“As a mother, don’t we always blame ourselves?” she said. “I took a lot of the blame. I took all the blame. The personality I have, it’s always my fault.”
