Lynne Spears' Secret Shame

Filed under: Britney Spears > Legal Matters > Lynne Spears

wenn1737689.jpg

Looks like the Spears family has some big skeletons in their closets.

Like murder!

We're not joking.

It turns out Jamie Lynne' mom killed a young boy years ago.

Accidentally, of course.

The incident happened in Kentwood, LA, back in 1975 when Lynne Spears was 20 years old.

Lynne was driving her brother to the hospital after he'd suffered an injury when she ran over the 12 year old boy on his bicycle.

The National Enquirer has even gotten confirmation that the story is true from Lynn's rep!

A family friend says, “To this day, Lynne hasn’t gotten over what she did. She gets that terrified look in her eye when she is thinking about it. She has told only a few people about the accident and always says, ‘Please don’t think I’m a bad person.’”

The young boy, Anthony Winters, lived along the route Lynne was taking.

Lynne's rep says, "Anthony Winters and his friend were in the road on a curve on a bicycle. As Lynne rounded the curve she could not avoid the boy in the street as there was oncoming traffic in the opposite lane."

Anthony later died at the hospital as a result of his injuries.

Her rep adds, “Lynne realized the boy was struck immediately and to this day is grieved by the Winters’ loss of their son.“

Sad. Sad. Sad.

Poor family.

    I hit a biker and though he was ok and it was an accident, that is something that will leave you shaken. I wasn't able to drive for a month after the incident and it's a horrible thing to go through.

    Seriously Dude, I'm all up for good scoop, but that's uncalled for. I'm sure Lynn Spears has been waiting forever for this to come out. I can't imagine losing a child, it's awful and horrible but it was an accident, leave her alone.

    Hey Perez,
    Did you know LAURA BUSH (Yes, the 1st lady) did the same thing when she was a teenager? Ran over and killed a kid. I swear to God. Look it up if you don't believe me.

  24. 24

    very sad…I can only imagine the grief of the family and the guilt she is carrying. These things happen….a horrible accident.

  25. fuck says – reply to this
    25

    She should've went to jail for that shit it's called RECKLESS VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER fuck that her ass should've went to jail even though it was an "accident" I bet if she was a man and not white it'd be a diff story.

  26. canad says – reply to this
    26

    All I can say is I feel for her, by the sounds of it, it was truly an accident so why publisize something that must bring her to tears, she didn't intend to hurt anyone nor cause death, she may have been frazzled by driving her own brother to the hospital, i think we need to let this one go, and stop bringing up old shit from ppls past that isn't relevant, leave the boys family and lynne alone on this matter…

    The more I read your site, the more I realize what a shameless, shitty human being you are!
    Murder Perez!? You make the most ignorant statments for pure shock value regardless of the actual situation and the feelings of the induviduals involved. Karma will get you for your nasty ways–it always does. But hey at least your famous right! asshole.

  34. Chris says – reply to this

    This is a norm with white people. Mrs. Bush did the same thing when she was younger in her teens I beleive. Did they serve anytime nope! It's sad that people can get away with this kind of stuff. But thats life.

    Re: fuck
    I bet the family understood that it was truly an unavoidable accident and did not press charges…theyre son's life had already been taken so why take lynne's life too?
    also, she just injured him…he didnt die until after her was in the hospital for a few days

  39. GayG says – reply to this
    39

    I would volunteer to represent her against you. You are a JACKASS. You accused her of murder even when you seem to have access to a full accounting of the details. It's not murder!

  40. Jo says – reply to this

    You fucking asshole Perez! This is a new low…I am done with your site. You put this up and expect people to think this is Hollywood gossip, are you kidding me? I can't WAIT for someone to dig up a secret on you like you fucked your neighbor's dog for $2 to get a box of twinkies. She made a mistake, she admits it and has taken the higher road…leave her alone. JESUS.

  41. Lauri says – reply to this
    41

    Shame on you for making this seem like one of your other gossip stories. I am sure that the victim's family is really thanking you right now for bringing this story to the whole world so that their pain can be experienced all over again. What were you thinking when you posted this?

  42. Liz says – reply to this
    42

    Dude, come on. This is pretty low of you. It's hardly "murder." If what you wrote is true and the boy was riding in the middle of the road ahead of a blind curve and there was traffic in the other lane then this isn't even negligent, it's just a god-awful accident and I'm sure she feels enough guilt and grief over it. I think you need to leave this one alone and don't even try to sensationalize it. I have sympathy for her.

    Re: Chris – What does that mean, "white people"? So what if I said that it's the norm for black people to pay for groceries with food stamps and it is the norm for an indian to pour my slurpee? WTF. Ignorant fuck.

  47. Erin says – reply to this
    47

    It is very tastless to post this. Just because she is in the public eye does not mean she should have to have something like this on display. It's something she will never forget and obviously will be part of her life forever.

    I wouldn't really be surprised if Lynn sued Perez for slander now for accusing her of murder…

  49. D~ says – reply to this

    I agree with others posters. There really was no need to to publish this. Not only because of the pain it may cause her, but for the pain it will drudge up for the family that lost the child. Surley you can exhibit some kind of moral authority Perez.

  50. 50

    Everyone needs to leave the woman alone on this one.

  51. Becky says – reply to this
    51

    Perez! Why focus on this kind of story?? It happened so long ago and she's obviously going to be still dealing with the pain (as any person in her situation would be). You don't have to expose EVERYTHING that happens to everyone in Hollywood. I feel really sorry for Lynne. What a horrible expirence.

  52. Tia says – reply to this
    52

    Re: Jo – I dont think perez was trying to insult Lynn. Its his job to talk about whatever celebrities or anyone associated with celebrities do. Get over it

  53. Tommy says – reply to this
    53

    Calling that MURDER is completely irresponsible you shameless fame-monger
    At best it would be a manslaughter charge, but seeing as how that wasn't even pursued it's not even manslaughter, and definitely NOT murder.
    This is called an accident. A very sad and horribly unfortunate accident
    Have SOME boundries you fool, like maybe stopping before libel when it comes to the death of a child
    disgusting

  54. Carme says – reply to this
    54

    You're a pathetic asshole for posting this. Also, accidentally killing someone is not murder, it's manslaughter. I sort of thought this was common knowledge, but then suddenly remembered you're an illiterate slob.

    Shame on you Perez, there was no reason to open this up to the public.

    "Sad, sad, sad" — but not too sad for you to dredge up again after all these years. Why do that? It's hurtful not only the LS, but also to the family you profess to feel sorry for.

  57. WHORE says – reply to this
    57

    OH, FUCK YOU ALL.

    THIS REDNECK WHORE SHOULD DO TIME FOR KILLING THAT BOY.

    YES IT WAS MURDER. SHE COULDN'T STOP? BULLSHIT, BITCH. THAT'S WHAT YOU BRAKES ARE FOR, STUPID CUNT!!

    STOP DEFENDING THIS CUNT JUST BECAUSE SHE'S SHITNEY'S AND SKANKY-LYNN'S MOTHER!!

    so sad that you would sensationalize this like you have. I agree, I'm all for a juicy piece of gossip, but this crosses the line. It was an accident. Not murder. Why bring up this painful memory for not only Lynne Spears but the family of the boy who lost his life? Shameless Perez. :( You've obviously missed the mark with this "gossip" as most people commenting aren't happy with you. Hopefully you'll remove this story.

    matthew broderick did a similar thing driving in england a long time ago! (for real, look it up). If this is true, it was a horrible accident that could happen to any of us, god forbid! i'm no lynne spears fan, but leave her alone on this one!

    MURDER IS PREMEDITATED, this was not. get your facts straight if you want anyone to take you seriously, perez. i love you, but this is a bit much.

    as much as we all might not think Lynnes a good mother, this is sad. i feel for her and can only imagine the pain this brings to her.

    This is crossing the line. I am sure you have some things you have done in the past that you are not proud of.

    Do you have no ethics or standards at all on what you say? Are you that desperate for fame?

    Re: Tia – Get over it? I hope Lynn Spears sues his sorry ass for slander, this was not MURDER. Think about if that were your child…would you really want a fat gossip columnist bringing up the accidental death of your son? Try getting over that!

    Re: lola – that is THE STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard
    I DON'T think it's her fault or blame her, sbut she DID kill him
    your comment is like saying if you shoot someone in the head, but they die in the hospital three days later because the doctors couldn't save him then YOU DIDN"T KILL THEM?!?>!?!
    that's so so so so so stupid
