Dispelling claims Britney lost her virginity to her former pop star
boyfriend Justin Timberlake, Lynne says in her book ‘Through the Storm’ her
daughter first had sex with an 18-year-old American football player while
she attended her local high school in Kentwood, Louisiana, for a year before
becoming a teen pop star.
Lynne admits she allowed Britney, aged 16, to sleep with Justin.
A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Lynne thought Britney was in
love and Justin was good for her.”
Lynne claims her daughter experimented with alcohol after joining Disney TV
show ‘The Mickey Mouse Club’.
Lynne – who has had a turbulent relationship with Britney since she split
from ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2006 – admits in the memoir she regrets
handing control of Britney’s career over to her managers and allowing her to
be promoted as a sex object at the age of 17 in the music promo for ‘Baby
One More Time’.
Lynne, 53, believes Britney’s behavior as a teenage star led to her public
breakdown earlier this year, which involved her being put in a psychiatric
hospital twice and losing custody of her two children, Sean Preston, almost
three, and Jayden James, 23 months.
