Lynn Spears is a bad mother

Lynne Spears' memoir Through the Storm is set to be released this month. The publisher's leaking some of the more juicy stories to help drum up publicity. Like how Britney began drinking at 13, lost her virginity at 14 to an 18-year-old, began taking drugs at 15, and banged Justin Timberlake -- with her mother's approval -- at 16. From UK tabloid The Sun:

Lynne, 53, tells how she regrets handing over control of Britney's career to managers and allowing her daughter to be promoted as a sex object in raunchy videos at such a young age. She believes Britney's wild behavior as a teenage star is the root of her current problems. Britney, now 26, has twice been admitted to a hospital psychiatric ward this year. After the Mickey Mouse Club, Britney spent a year at high school in her home town of Kentwood, Louisiana, where she is said to have lost her virginity at the home of her footballer boyfriend.

As Britney later pursued her pop career, Lynne let her 16-year-old daughter sleep with teen sweetheart Justin Timberlake, despite claiming she was a virgin. A source said: "Lynne thought Britney was in love and Justin was good for her." Lynne's book reportedly tells of her horror when Britney, still just 16, was caught with cocaine and cannabis on a private jet. (Source)

Lynne let her daughter try booze at 13, sex at 14, drugs at 15 and still "regrets handing over control" of Britney to her managers? Sounds to me like the damage was already done. Lynne blaming Britney's managers for the train wreck her daughter turned into is like lighting your own house on fire and then blaming the firemen when your possessions end up wet.
