Lynne Spears' Secret Shame

Filed under: Britney Spears > Legal Matters > Lynne Spears

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.

hardly murder then is it? you sensationalist asshole.
somew says – reply to this

18

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.

OMG! Leave the lady alone.
Was this really neccesary?
She has a lifetime of paid.

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.
ruffmama says – reply to this

24

very sad…I can only imagine the grief of the family and the guilt she is carrying. These things happen….a horrible accident.
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.
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.
Chris says – reply to this

34

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.

That isn't MURDER - that is an ACCIDENT. Why would you even use that word?

NO WONDER THE SPEARS ARE MORE FUCKED UP THAN THE JACKSONS.

CAN'T ANY OF THOSE WHORES DRIVE??????
lola says – reply to this

38

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
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!
Jo says – reply to this

40

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.
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?
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.

Your such an Asshole Perez why would you out this.. This is really low I have lost all my respect for you

It is sad. It is none of our business, being involved in a tragic accident does not make her a bad person.

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.
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.
Aimee says – reply to this

48

I wouldn't really be surprised if Lynn sued Perez for slander now for accusing her of murder…
D~ says – reply to this

49

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.
TwoGoofballs says – reply to this

50

Everyone needs to leave the woman alone on this one.
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.
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
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
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.
Marie says – reply to this

55

Shame on you Perez, there was no reason to open this up to the public.
BOOOOOO on Perez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kirst says – reply to this

56

"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.
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!!

well, i bet that kid's friend won't be biking in the street anymore hahaha
sad says – reply to this

59

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.
elkay says – reply to this

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!
me says – reply to this

61

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.
hanna says – reply to this

62

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.
PEREZ says – reply to this

63

SERIOUSLY??????

SOME ISSUES SHOULD BE KEPT PRIVATE AND IM SURE THIS IS VERY SADDENING TO THE FAMILY.. THINK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND THEIR LOSS B4 YOU PUBLISH SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOU—
Vic says – reply to this

64

Totally inappropriate. You are incorrigible.
Shame says – reply to this

65

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?
jo says – reply to this

66

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!
cheyn says – reply to this

67

I think you are the most vile and worthless piece of crap that ever existed for even posting this information. Some things should never be repeated and this you slimy piece of pig shit is one of them.
Jeff says – reply to this

Re: WHORE – And you have what evidence that she could stop? YEAH, exactly, Shut the fuck up. Get your facts straight, you look as stupid as Perez.

None of you say anything nasty about this article. This is a tregedy that could happen to any one of us at any time and is not open to jokes.

Why dredge this up? What losers the paps are to dig up this kind of 'gossip fodder'. Let the woman alone. Shame, shame, shame!

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
so so so SO
S-T-U-P-I-D

Not that losing only one person on this blog makes a difference…but I won't be reading anymore. What happened to you Perez?
Princ says – reply to this

76

you are the foulest, dumbest shit. that is not murder. God, maybe you should familiarize yourself with the definition of suicide, too.
STAYC says – reply to this

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE POSTED THIS. NOT COOL.
roxy says – reply to this

You are such an asshole for posting about this.
Do you think she doesn't regret this? She probably thinks about it every single day and you are exploiting it for your own benefit.
Shame on you.

uh oh! I smell a defamation of character law suit!!
Kimbe says – reply to this

80

Perez, there is a HUGE difference between outright murder and what this is, vehicular manslaughter. This even though this poor woman has made some grave mistakes as a mother, she shouldn't be in the crossfire for AN ACCIDENT that happened not when she was drunk, but when she was upset by her own brother's injury. I'm starting to believe that as you get more famous, you are loosing any sense of compassion.
Nanna says – reply to this

81

POOR LYNNE!
but ofc. it isn't her fault ;(
feel so sorry for Anthony Winters family though!
Yowza says – reply to this

82

Perez-
Out of respect for the family, I'd take this story down. I'm sure one of his relatives wouldn't want to see this on the internet. It was an accident, I'm sure she's had nightmares/a toughtime dealing with this.
myko says – reply to this

83

That explains Brit's excellent driving skills. I like how it almost blames the boys for the accident… they were in the road and she couldn't avoid hitting them. One is dead and she should feel like shit about it. Crazy bitch!
laura says – reply to this

84

That is not murder. You can't get any of your "stories" right. Why did you have to put this out there? I can't imagine how horrible she feels. You must hate yourself so much that you get off on other's people's misfortune.
Jessi says – reply to this

85

You guys are hella stupid…this isnt real, hence its from THE NATIONAL ENQUIERER, which is never true. They give stupid stories like "Lady gives birth to alien baby!" Its all fake. If you believe this, you are a freaking moron!
Erin says – reply to this

86

Hey Perez….did you really need to print this story??? It's obvious that it was an accident and is still traumatizing for Lynne to talk about…this is just cruel. I'm sure she lives with the guilt every day, and it doesn't help to have it publicized. You asshole.
tt says – reply to this

87

YES THIS WHY WE LOVE YOU IT IS WHY WE VIEW FOR JUICY GOSSIP so sorry she failed to put that in her book that was so honrst this story will be on maybe nine entertainment shows. Who will have the the exclusive heart wrenching interview with the victims family's . Mary Heart, Lara Spencer, Billy Bush I cant fucking wait. Has she ever given the family money to ease their loss since she has money rolloing out of her frey puss hairs. I'm so happy I love these stories opposed to a van was seen at LC's house and it was reported poeple were shouting. This real and a good story. Who will interview Senator Edwards whore. Life is great again

You've reached a total low publishing this. Not only does it make Spears relive the tragedy, but his family as well. Disgusting.

thats what they do in the south…they kill someone and then say "i love jesus" and all is forgiven. No law needed. They are a totally different country down there and def. not the USA. Lincoln should have aborted the land of rattle snakes and bible freaks.
BEN says – reply to this

91

i dont believe ANYTHING out of that tab,IF true thats realy sad,perez youve always been someone i liked until this,as usual most poeple believe everything they read and never ask questions….you are one of those people,also to call that murder is horrible.you re a horrible man.
leave lynn ALONE. i glad to see most pople supporting her, she helped turn brits life around and is a good mother.SHAME ON YOU PEREZ.
Nick says – reply to this

Oh, wow, poor lynn i feel so bad for her, all stuff she has been going trough and now this….adding to her pain….
clare says – reply to this

93

what a horrible story to feature on your website. I read your website everyday, and I am rarely offended. But this crossed the line and was totally un-called for. I hope you have the decency to remove the "story" from your page.
pinky says – reply to this

94

It was not murder, Perez. At the very most it was vehicular manslaghter. And it probably wasn't even that because it sounds like the incident wasn't Lynne's fault. Stop trying to make something sound like something else. You bloggers are always skating a real thin line on libel. In this case you are clearly stating she commited murder, and you even seal it by saying "We're not joking" right below. If I were Lynne Spears, I would sue the pants off you.

so sad. i feel bad for her. she's got a lot of shit to deal with. leave her alone, she's got enough things in her life to be depressed about. now this. my god. stay strong lynne.

Amanda Bynes Was Involved In ANOTHER Hit-And-Run!

Can someone take this girl's license away, please?

Amanda Bynes will finally be appearing court on June 6th for her April 6th DUI arrest, but apparently, she's may have to return very soon after that, because the actress was involved in ANOTHER hit-and-run only a few short days AFTER the first!
