Defending Lynne Spears


Im so tired of people striking out at Lynne Spears for doing an interview with a tabloid about Jaime Lynn's pregnancy. First rule of crisis PR is get out in front of the story and tell it yourself. And since Jaime Lynn will most likely be fired from Nickelodeon and her future career opportunities just became significantly limited. I am reminded of Monica Lewinsky who said that she knew right away that she would never have a normal life, so she was going to have exploit her earning potential fully while she could. After all, the negative ramifications would never go away (jokes, photographers, gossip, security risks), but her chance to cash in would.

Considering the circus that has grown up around Britney and Jaime Lynn has, in turn, grown up around it, it is the height of hypocrisy for Tom ONeill from US Weekly on Countdown and Bonnie "The Devil" Fuller in HuffPo decrying the outrage, then profiting from it.

Disgusting.

I agree. Why shouldnt Lynne make the money and put it aay for the babies future. We all know that a 16 year old is a little young to be pregnant but things happen and i say better the Spears family makes themoney than the disgusting poparazzi that has been causing a circus for no reason.
