Britney Spears’ estranged mom Lynne is back teaching elementary school kids to help pay her bills after yet another falling out with her famous daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lynne, 68, who worked as a teacher and ran a daycare in Kentwood,\u00a0Louisiana,\u00a0prior to Britney’s rise to superstardom in the early 2000s, is understood to be struggling financially, according to those close to her – and has taken on part-time work at a local school in order to supplement her income.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘She is struggling to pay her bills, but she has already substituted for several classes at [a local school],’ a source told DailyMail.com.<\/p>\n
Lynne – who currently resides in a $2 million mansion built by her famous daughter in 2001 – is said to have returned to teaching this term. Substitute teachers working in the area can expect to earn around $15 an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the source, Lynne’s so-called money struggles have come as a result of her ongoing rift with her multi-millionaire daughter, with whom she shares an incredibly complicated relationship – which the insider says has ‘seriously impacted’ her finances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lynne still lives in the $2 million mansion in Louisiana that Britney built in 2001 when she rose to superstardom\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lynne filed for chapter 7 \u2013 liquidation bankruptcy \u2013 in 1998. She had owned five companies in the past 20 years, including Britney Online, inc. and One More Time Music, Inc. but is no longer involved in any of them.<\/p>\n
She no longer owns her own property, having sold Britney\u2019s childhood home for $275,000 in 2021.<\/p>\n
Much of the duo’s feud has played out publicly on 41-year-old Britney’s explosive Instagram account, centered around the singer’s accusations that her mom did very little to get her out of the 13-year conservatorship that she was placed into in 2008, which was controlled by her father\u00a0Jamie Spears, 71.<\/p>\n
Another blow was dealt to their already-fractured relationship not long after the conservatorship was overturned – when Lynne requested that Britney be made to pay her $660,000 attorney bill.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Lynne filed a petition in November 2021 to request that her daughter’s estate pay the $660,000 attorney bill for her conservatorship lawyers, Yasha Bronshteyn and Gladstone N. Jones III, who she said she hired to ‘save her daughter’ from ‘incredibly abusive acts of her father’.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Five months later, Britney’s own lawyer Mathew Rosengart argued against that petition in court\u00a0in April 2022, stating that ‘there is no legal authority supporting’ Lynne’s claims that she should be able to collect funds from her daughter’s estate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Court documents reveal that Rosengart further alleged that Britney had spent approximately $1.7 million on her mother over the years, claiming that Lynne had ‘for at least a decade resided in a large, expansive house owned by Britney’, who – he said – also ‘paid Lynne Spears’ utilities, telephone services, insurance, property taxes, landscaping, pool work, pest control, repairs and maintenance’.<\/span><\/p>\n Legal paperwork obtained by The Blast in October of that same year revealed that Lynne had withdrawn her $660,000 claim – and now the Spears family insider has claimed that she did this, at least in part, because she hoped that it would help her to repair her relationship with her daughter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘This was the final nail in the coffin for Lynne,’ the source said. ‘She could not fight with Britney anymore and she knew that asking her to pay her half-million dollar lawyer bill was not right, considering what Britney had been through.<\/p>\n ‘Not only that, but Lynne was really trying to repair her relationship with Britney. Taking more money from her was not the way to do it.’<\/p>\n However, while Lynne and her daughter showed signs of reconciling earlier this year – when Britney revealed that her mother had been to pay her a visit at her home in California in May – that rapprochement was short-lived insiders tell DailyMail.com, claiming that the popstar has since cut ties with her family one again in the wake of her divorce from Sam Asghari.\u00a0<\/p>\n DailyMail.com has reached out to Lynne for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lynne, seen in LA in May, still works for Rodan and Fields beauty brand, but has lost clientele over her feud with her daughter over her conservatorship\u00a0<\/p>\n Britney reconciled with her mother – but it did not last long. The two are currently not on speaking terms following Britney’s divorce from Sam Asghari, 28\u00a0<\/p>\n Lynne, seen with Britney at a pre-Grammy Awards party in 2001, has reportedly begged for her daughter to return home to Louisiana\u00a0<\/p>\n One month after reuniting with Britney, Lynne convinced her to reconcile with her other daughter Jamie Lynn, 32. Last month, Britney revealed that she visited the Zooey 102 reboot set in LA, and patched things up with her estranged sister.<\/p>\n In August, Britney suffered a devastating blow when her husband of 14 months,\u00a0Sam Asghari, 29, filed for divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n DailyMail.com previously reported that Lynne ‘was furious’ at Sam for ‘abandoning’ her daughter and ‘begged’ Britney to move back home to Louisiana – in the $2 million mansion that the Grammy-winning singer had built for her mom in 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Lynne is begging [Britney] to leave LA and live with her,’ a source at the time said. ‘LA is toxic and the only thing keeping her there was [Sam]. Lynne believes she can heal and regroup in Louisiana, then return to LA when she is ready.<\/p>\n ‘Instead of working with her family to get her help, [they feel that] he abandoned her as soon as things got tough.’<\/p>\n The divorce also left Britney’s loved ones scrambling to come up with a plan to help her – a desperate struggle that has been made all the more difficult by the fact that her previous 13-year conservatorship was only recently terminated.<\/p>\n ‘They feel the only option would be another conservatorship, even though that’s the last thing they’d want – but they cannot go down that road because she just got the paperwork to be released from the last one – and they’ve now even created a new law around it,’ the source continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n Britney sparked concern on Monday when she shared a video of herself dancing with knives – although she insisted to her followers that they were not real\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Britney’s reconciliation with her mom and sister Jamie-Lynn, who is on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, was short lived, as DailyMail.com confirmed that she cut them both out of her life again shortly after Sam filed for divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n In Lynne’s 2008 autobiography Through the Storm she said she blamed herself for Britney’s demise.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘When her life was such a success, what did she need me for? And when things took a turn for the worse, I was out, because other people – dancers, managers – were closer to her, and with her day and night,’ Lynne wrote.<\/p>\n ‘Being a mother, you can’t help but have regrets about what you did and didn’t do for your kids, and I’m no different,’ admitted Lynne.<\/p>\n Britney continues to cause concern with her erratic behavior online – most recently sharing a video of herself dancing with knives, which prompted serious fears among her fans.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The hitmaker was scantily clad in swimsuit bottoms and a crop top as she appeared in the foyer of her California home while whizzing the two kitchen utensils in a dizzying piece of improvised choreography.<\/p>\n In her caption, the singer reassured her fans that ‘they were not real knives’, however this did little to calm the concern over her behavior in the clip – which is the latest in a line of increasingly-bizarre social media posts to be shared by the popstar.\u00a0<\/p>\n Britney Spears’ ‘cult-like’ conservatorship was terminated by a judge last November after 13 years of having her $60million fortune and personal affairs controlled by her 69-year-old father Jamie Spears.<\/p>\n And in the months leading up to the arrangement’s end, Britney exposed the true state of her relationship with\u00a0Jamie, as well as her mother Lynne and sister Jamie Lynn.<\/p>\n She’s put her family on blast for allegedly taking advantage of her during the ‘demoralizing and degrading’ conservatorship, even going as far as to say they belong in jail for ‘what they did to me.’<\/p>\n And now, with Britney living life estranged from her father, sister and mother, DailyMail.com is\u00a0looking back on how the conservatorship tore the Spears family apart.<\/span><\/p>\n Fractured:\u00a0DailyMail.com is looking back on how Britney’s controversial conservatorship tore the Spears family apart; Britney pictured with mother Lynne and father Jamie<\/p>\n Jamie Spears\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Jamie was granted a ‘temporary conservatorship’ over his daughter in 2008 after the singer landed herself in the headlines for erratic behavior – including THAT infamous head shaving incident – and, eventually, suffering a nervous breakdown.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Despite its initial\u00a0temporary nature, the conservatorship was extended indefinitely, leaving Britney under the control of her father for the next 13 years.<\/span><\/p>\n Though Britney has previously hinted at the fact that the conservatorship felt ‘just like Groundhog Day every day’ to her, the Lucky singer rarely spoke about the arrangement or the extent of her father’s involvement in her financial, personal and career decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n Jamie would abruptly step down as conservator in 2019, citing\u00a0personal health reasons.’ Jodi Montgomery, an experienced conservator, would temporarily take over his duties.<\/span><\/p>\n Power move?\u00a0Jamie was granted a ‘temporary conservatorship’ over his daughter in 2008 after the singer landed herself in the headlines for erratic behavior – including THAT infamous head shaving incident – and, eventually, suffering a nervous breakdown.

And in April, she’d request to address the court regarding the life she’d been forced to live for the past 13 years.<\/span><\/p>\n In the 24-minute testimony, Britney slammed Jamie and claimed that the conservatorship was ‘allowing my dad to ruin my life.’<\/span><\/p>\n She accused her family of purposely instigating her ‘angry tantrums’ and ‘crazy’ behavior, which led to her undergoing a number of psych evaluations ‘against my will.’<\/span><\/p>\n She further alleged that Jamie and the rest of the family were staying at her home in Jackson Beach, Florida at the time and that her father ‘didn’t care to ask what was going on then.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Britney also told the court that she was ‘always extremely scared’ of Jamie while growing up due to his struggles with alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n By August 2021, after continued efforts in the courts by Britney’s new lawyer\u00a0Mathew S.
