Lynne Spears: 'I'm Not A Pushy Mother'

September 10th, 2008 2:33pm EDT Post a comment 4 comments Add to My News

Britney Spears' mother Lynne has blasted her image as a "pushy stage mother" and insisted she never wanted her daughter to be a superstar.

Spears senior has been accused of driving Britney's career - starting with her big break on Disney's Mickey Mouse Club. However, Lynne insists the 26-year-old pushed herself from a young age.

She writes in her forthcoming book Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, "Britney was always highly motivated to excel. I'm always startled when I hear folks think I'm a pushy stage mother. I simply did not have the huge ambitions for her that I have been accused of having."
