Britney Spears video shows claims about Lynne Spears
Newly surfaced police footage from Britney Spears’ March DUI arrest shows the singer making serious claims about her mother, Lynne Spears, during an exchange with officers. In the video, Spears argues with police about the dangers of driving under the influence and questions why her mother was not arrested over a decades-old fatal crash, a moment that has renewed scrutiny around the incident she referenced.
During the stop, Page Six reported that Spears told an officer, “My mom actually killed a man on a bike,” before alleging “nothing happened to her” and asking why she “got away with everything.”
In the same footage, Spears also alleges her mother “tried to kill” her, before officers tell the 44-year-old she is being arrested and the conversation becomes more tense. The report notes that Lynne Spears addressed the 1975 crash in her 2008 memoir Through the Storm, writing that she struck 12-year-old Anthony Winters in Kentwood, Louisiana, while rushing her brother to hospital on rain-slick roads. The memoir account describes seeing two boys on bikes, with one managing to move clear as the other was hit.
The development follows previous reporting on the case, including details from the arrest paperwork in which police noted items and medication referenced in the DUI report after officers were called over concerns about erratic driving.
According to the same reporting, Spears later entered rehab in April and was released later that month. At a May 4 hearing, her lawyer, Mr Michael Goldstein, appeared on her behalf and accepted a “wet reckless” offer, with Spears ordered to one year of informal probation and to complete a three-month alcohol school programme.
