Britney Spears’ Mom Lynne Spears Spotted Shopping At Dollar General

Lynne Spears, the mother of pop star Britney Spears, was photographed shopping at Dollar General.

The news follows claims that the Louisiana native has begun working as a substitute teacher to pay her bills, despite the fact that she is still living in the mansion that Britney built for her in 2001.

On Thursday afternoon, photographs surfaced of Britney’s mother, Lynne Spears, pushing around a yellow shopping cart in Britney’s hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

It’s unclear what the 68-year-old bought, but fans couldn’t help but notice that she also had a designer purse with her.

In photographs obtained by TMZ, she was seen loading her purchases into her white Mercedes before hopping in and driving off.

In her memoir, "The Woman In Me," Britney recalled how she visited her mother's house at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic only to learn that several valuable items that she had stored there in 2019 had been "thrown away," including her beloved Madame Alexander doll collection, which she received as a child.

She noted that several years’ “worth of [her] writing” and “binders” of poetry had been tossed out as well, which is what led to her decision to separate herself from her family once and for all. However, on November 9, Lynne took to Instagram to share photographs of some of the items Britney thought had been thrown away.

"I'm not sure who told you I got rid of your dolls and journals but I would never do that! That would be cruel because I know how much they mean to you. They are special to me too because of the years we spent collecting them," Lynne wrote in the caption. "Of course, I still have your things, and I am happy to send them to you if you'd like me to. Please let me know and know how much I love you!"

On November 11, the "Toxic" singer finally responded to her mother's comments in an Instagram post that was largely focused around the time that she met "Love Story" singer Taylor Swift.

"Ps mom I love you so so much, but there were 3 dolls in the cabinets when I went home 2 years ago … kinda really weird you would take them out and then put them back in … so messed up," Britney wrote. "Nope, I don't want them. Keep it all. I honestly don't care anymore … honestly though."

In a separate Instagram post, Lynne responded to claims that she had sold her daughter's clothing in order to make ends meet. Sources told the Daily Mail that Lynne started selling Britney’s clothing in 2019 at Connie's Jewelry and Gifts in Kentwood, Louisiana, which is owned by the family of Britney’s childhood friend, Cortney Brabham.

One insider claimed that Lynne has “easily made thousands of dollars in profit” and that the "Girl In The Mirror" singer has “no clue” that her mother is selling her items. Britney did not respond to allegations that her mother had been selling Britney's old costumes and clothing, including her 2011 Femme Fatale white satin jacket.

“I would never sell my daughter's things. Get your facts straight @dailymail,” Lynne wrote in the caption of the post.

“When Britney would come home early in her career, she would unload her clothes at her mom's house in Kentwood. This also included things she wore on tours and her personal clothes,” an insider claimed. “She has no clue and would be fuming if she did.”

The source went on to say, “Britney had hundreds of pairs of jeans at one time. She would come back home to Kentwood and just unload all of this stuff with her mom. Lynne held onto everything,” adding that she sold some of Britney’s clothes because she “needed the money to buy Christmas presents for her grandchildren.”
