FemmeFataleBrit Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I imagine it was a huge deal at the time given she was 16 and her sister was also going through a tough time and was the biggest pop star in the world. As Britney fans, what were your reactions? Was it discussed heavily on this forum? Link to comment
KrisJ Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Felt bad for her at the time and hoped she had support. Unlike how JL feels about her sister being a slave and trafficked for 13 years 1 Link to comment

colormefresh Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 A very poor rollout on Lynne Spears’ part. A clear cash grab…. Now that I’m looking back…. It explains a lot. Like even her book release was weirdly defiant… idk. 1 1 Link to comment
rosenotes Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 i think i was too young when it happened, but i remember a big scandal and people making a big deal out of it saying she was like a role model with a kids show, and then of course people were trashing the spears' family name left and right. i didn't really think about it, but i cared about britney... i felt bad that she didn't even know. the paparazzi were hounding her about it after it hit the news stands, and britney kept denying it, but like... it was true, and that's how she found out. 1 6 Link to comment
Body ache Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I felt bad for Britney and how this would affect her reputation. 3 Link to comment
Isla Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Wow, I was 11 at the time. My sister was 9 and we were both watching Zoey 101... this was around the time the fourth season premiered. I remember being shocked especially because at that age, I was only just discovering what s£x really is, I didn’t really think before the news came out you could get pregnant so young. I was quite disappointed as well. Looking back I’m still surprised someone who was a teen idol starring on a children’s/teen show who had a lot of young girls as fans could get pregnant at such a young age. At 16 you’re still a teen yourself and if she wasn’t an actress she would be in school. To me it’s such a huge responsibility becoming a mother, I’ve always wondered if you’re even ready for that at that age. 4 Link to comment
SumoCyco2017 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 My initial thought was she just got the major pay day since dan schnieder is the one that planted that seed 1 Link to comment

Oprah Winfrey. Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hmm so I was 7 and I also my family didnt have nick so I only saw zoey 101 at my grandmas house, and I remember my older brother telling me the show is canceled now because she is pregnant…it was quite the scandal for us kids lol but I remember not really caring but it was kinda weird because I think at the time my aunt was pregnant too, at the time I didn’t know she was Britney Spears sister and I wasn’t even sure who Britney was either, I just knew that a show I liked got canceled because Jamie Lynn decided to be a teenage sinner , I didn’t give a damn about Jamie Lynn, none of us were her fans honestly, it was Dan Schneider’s writing and the ensemble cast that made that show good, they could’ve wrote her out the show and called it Quinn 101, she was such a more interesting character (and actress) then JL Link to comment
Lou Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 honestly i felt she was a puta 1 2 Link to comment
Annabanana Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I was 18 at the time when that happened and was pretty shocked. I can't imagine becoming a mom at 16... I became one at 21 and I realize now that was still pretty young and I had more growing up to do 😅 3 Link to comment
DignifiedLove Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I know Exhale user @Dreams was shocked 1 Link to comment
AP4 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I didn’t care. I’m older than her. Didn’t find it shocking either as it as reported her boyfriend was living with her anyway. I more so thought what did her parents think they were doing living together. I became a mom at 22. I couldn’t imagine being one at 16. But it’s different when you are 16 living off of Spears money. It’s not like ever had to worry about money for diapers or getting a job to support herself. I’m sure she had nannies and her mom as the primary caretakers of the baby too. Link to comment
