Lynne indicated that she wasn’t nervous about Jamie Lynn’s first event on the famous reality show, adding that she was ‘very proud’ of her baby girl.
However, she didn’t provide any answers when asked about whether pop star Britney would be in the DWTS audience, and she remained silent when questioned about Jamie Lynn potentially performing one of her sister’s songs.
Lynne’s appearance in the DWTS audience comes after DailyMail.com revealed she is ‘struggling to pay her bills.’
Despite her eldest daughter Britney being a worldwide icon and multi-millionaire, Lynne has reportedly taken on part-time work at a local school in order to supplement her income.
‘She is struggling to pay her bills, but she has already substituted for several classes at [a local school],’ a source told DailyMail.com.
The insider added that Lynne and Britney’s fallout and ongoing rift has ‘seriously impacted’ Lynne’s finances.
As fans know, the mother-daughter feud stems from the pop star’s claims that Lynne didn’t lift a finger to help free Britney of the 13-year conservatorship she was placed under in 2008, which was controlled by Britney’s father Jamie Spears.

Britney has also accused Jamie Lynn of doing little to help end the conservatorship.
The sibling feud came to a head in January when Jamie Lynn opened up about living in her famous big sister’s shadow, sharing a memorable quote that made headlines: ‘I’m really proud of her, love her to bits, but sometimes I just feel like there’s not much left for me.’
Their relationship also faced strains due to Jamie Lynn’s revealing memoir, where she claimed that her sister had once taken a knife and locked herself in a room with her because she ‘didn’t feel safe.’
However, following the announcement of Jamie Lynn’s appearance on DWTS, Britney reportedly said she is ‘supportive’ and ‘excited’ for her younger sister.
