Washington, Dec 27(ANI): Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears' mother Lynne Spears, treats her daughters like a "piggy bank," a close family friend has revealed.
Lynne, who is also Jamie Lynn's manager, was the one who convinced the 16-year-old to confess her pregnancy to OK! magazine.
"Lynne treats her girls like a piggy bank," Usmagazine.com quoted the family friend, as saying.
"Lynne knew OK! would pay the most. It was her decision," another source said.
The source added that Lynne kept Jamie Lynn's older sister Britney out of the loop, fearing she could be a possible threat to the deal.
"They didn't want her to screw up the deal," the source said.
Other sources revealed that Jamie Lynn never wanted to be a star, but it was her mother who put her in difficult situations.
"Jamie wanted something different for her life, and her mom put her in situations she didn't want to be in," Alexa Nikolas, Jamie Lynn's Zoey 101 costar, said.
"She never cared about celebrity. She preferred Kentwood (Louisiana)," another family friend said.
Lynne, a former school teacher, made it a point that she received a share of both her daughters' deals, ever since Britney hit the limelight. "Lynne got all her money through those girls and loved it when it started rolling in. She's the only one with a Land Rover in Kentwood," a source said. (ANI)
