Jamie Lynn Spears marked the anniversary of her daughter’s serious ATV accident, even as her sister, Britney Spears, publicly criticized their family.
The 34-year-old actress, who used to star on Nickelodeon, posted some previously unseen photos of her 17-year-old daughter, Maddie, while she was in the hospital, on Instagram.
I’ll never forget when her oldest child had that terrible accident back in 2017. They were only eight years old, driving an ATV near their home in Louisiana, and it flipped into the pond. It was a near-drowning experience, and honestly, it was so scary for everyone who knew the family.
The gallery featured pictures of Maddie’s recovery, including a heartwarming photo of Jamie Lynn by her side in the hospital.
A helicopter quickly arrived to transport the child to Children’s Hospital New Orleans.
Jamie Lynn marked the anniversary with a post, writing, ‘It’s a miracle anniversary [angel wings and white heart emojis]. I’ll never forget how lucky we are to have been given this gift, because I know that’s not always the outcome in these situations.’
We are so grateful to all the first responders, doctors, nurses, friends, and family who supported us, and to everyone who kept us in their prayers. Most importantly, thank you to God. Please take extra time to show your loved ones how much you care today – that’s what truly counts.
The youngster spent five days recovering from her injuries, and eventually made a full recovery.
Jamie Lynn gave Maddie an ATV in December, almost nine years after Maddie was seriously injured in an accident while operating one.
She shared photos from her family’s Christmas, including pictures of the new red car she’d bought for her 17-year-old.
TMZ reported that Polaris, the maker of the RZR 170, doesn’t allow children under 10 to operate the vehicle. This meant Britney Spears shouldn’t have given one to her daughter at the time.
Jamie Lynn’s recent post follows a startling message from her sister, Britney, who said she’s ‘scared’ of her family and grateful to still be alive.
The 44-year-old pop star publicly criticized her family, continuing a pattern that began four years after she was freed from a 13-year legal arrangement – a conservatorship largely controlled by her father, 73-year-old Jamie Spears.
The singer, known for her popular songs, said her family members will never admit their mistakes, and criticized them for cutting her off.
The singer shared that they feel fortunate to have survived a difficult period with their family and now feel afraid of them, explaining this in a long social media post.
She stated they would never admit their wrongdoing. While people can choose to forgive, she believes it’s important to remember what happened.
In her recent post, Britney Spears revealed she’s been unable to dance after breaking her toe – not once, but twice. This happened just four months after she suffered a serious leg injury.
Britney accompanied her claims with a poignant image of a newborn’s hand held in an adult’s grasp.
She began her post by sharing a thought about human connection: we all just want to feel like we belong and aren’t alone. She then addressed those who have experienced the opposite from their own families – being isolated and intentionally made to feel excluded – and stated that behavior was incorrect.
She continued, explaining that while people can forgive, they never truly forget. She emphasized that the desire for connection and contact is always important.
It’s strange how things unfold, and it feels like there’s a hidden message in everything. I wonder what message we’re supposed to get today? Honestly though, I don’t think anyone will own up to their mistakes, no matter what that message is.
Britney added that she has sought comfort in food and the company of her neighbor.
I baked a cheesecake today, and it turned out really delicious! My neighbor was kind enough to bring the milk, which was a big help.
She explained to her followers why she hasn’t been posting her usual dance videos recently.
‘PS I haven’t danced in a month because I broke my toe twice!’
Despite everything, she was able to share an old video earlier that day showing her dancing in a revealing red and white bikini.
She had a close call while filming, as her bikini top started to slip. To avoid violating Instagram’s rules, she quickly covered the revealing part of the video with flower emojis.
‘Repost I forgot I took it down!!!!! OOPS !!!’ she wrote in the caption.
Britney Spears has been estranged from her family for many years, a situation that began during and continued after her 13-year conservatorship, which concluded in November 2021.
After the conservatorship began in 2008, Britney’s father, Jamie, was first a co-conservator alongside attorney Andrew Wallet until 2019. The arrangement was established due to worries about her mental well-being.
Britney recently posted a critical message, appearing to be aimed at her family, following a holiday photo her sister Jamie Lynn, 34, shared with Britney’s son Sean Preston, 20.
Jamie Lynn shared holiday photos on Instagram showing her family – including her daughters Maddie, 17, and Ivey, 7, her husband Jamie Watson, and her mother Lynne, 70 – celebrating at her home in Louisiana. The photos included a picture of her son, Preston.
The snaps also included the family posing in front of a large Christmas tree and opening presents.
Britney was the only family member absent from the celebrations. Three days later, she posted on Instagram with a message that seemed to be a sarcastic comment about her family getting together.
The singer wished their family a belated Merry Christmas, expressing gratitude for their unwavering support and the fact that they’ve never caused any significant pain or trauma.
To my wonderful family, I’m so sorry I couldn’t be with you this Christmas. I’m really looking forward to seeing you all soon and giving you a surprise!
In her memoir, The Woman In Me, the singer explained that the legal arrangement significantly diminished her creativity.
The legal arrangement took away my independence and treated me like a child. Performing felt less like being myself and more like playing a role. I’ve always felt deeply connected to music, but they took that away from me.
After losing control of her own life, Britney felt like a completely different person. She explained that the emotional turmoil of the conservatorship caused her personality to change drastically and unexpectedly.
As a lifestyle expert, I remember November 12, 2021, so vividly – it was truly a monumental day for Britney Spears! A judge finally ended her conservatorship, which had been a really difficult chapter for her. Seeing fans celebrating outside the courthouse was incredibly moving, and honestly, it felt like a huge weight lifted for everyone. It also marked a turning point, as many felt it exposed the controlling behavior of her father, Jamie, who had overseen almost every aspect of her life for 14 years. It was a day of freedom and a powerful moment for pop culture.
Jamie Spears maintained he managed Britney Spears’s finances, career, and personal life to safeguard her health, but his daughter described the arrangement as abusive, comparing it to the experience of a sex trafficking victim.
Following accounts of being forced to work against her wishes, being made to take birth control, and being denied contact with her sons and friends, Britney Spears’ fans started the #FreeBritney movement and celebrated when she was finally freed from the conservatorship.
Jamie has insisted he still loves his daughter, but their relationship has never been repaired.
In late 2023, a severe bacterial infection led to the amputation of his right leg above the knee. He had been hospitalized and his life was in danger.
In 2024, Britney and her father resolved their remaining disputes from the end of her conservatorship. As part of the agreement, Britney was required to cover $2 million in legal fees for her father.
Britney expressed her disappointment with the settlement, taking to Instagram to share that she felt her family had harmed her and that she didn’t believe she’d ever receive true justice for the pain she experienced.
However, Jamie seemingly took it as a sign that his actions had been justified.
According to his lawyer, Jamie Spears has always acted in Britney’s best interest and loves her deeply. The lawyer stated that his work as conservator has been proven right, and it’s now clear how dedicated he was to protecting her.
