Britney Spears' mom Lynne posts 'proof' she didn't throw out daughter's belongings

Britney Spears' mom Lynne Spears has taken to social media to hit back at claims she threw out some of the singer's 'prized possessions'.

Britney's memoir The Woman in Me came out last month and it contains some pretty explosive accusations.

From revealing the two-word text ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake allegedly dumped her with to explaining why she shaved her head in 2007, Britney has also spoken out about her relationship with her family, accusing her parents of meddling with her belongings.

According to Britney's memoir, the singer thinks some of her 'prized possessions' left at her mom's house were thrown out by her parents in 2019 while she was staying at a mental health facility.

The items listed in the book include some of her own writing and poetry as well as around 15 of her childhood Madama Alexander dolls - some modeled after 'fictional characters or historical figures like Scarlet O'Hara or Queen Elizabeth' - as quoted by PEOPLE.

Britney writes: "When I saw the empty shelves, I felt an overwhelming sadness. [...] And my family had thrown them in the trash, just like they'd thrown me away."

And Lynne took to her Instagram page yesterday (Thursday, 9 November) to respond to her daughter's claims in her memoir.

The caption reads: "@britneyspears I'm not sure who told you I got rid of your dolls and journals but I would never do that!

"That would be cruel because I know how much they mean to you.

"They are special to me too because of the years we spent collecting them. Of course I still have your things, and I am happy to send them to you if you'd like me to.

"Please let me know and know how much I love you!"

After Britney was freed from her controversial conservatorship, she reconciled with her mom in May earlier this year.

"And after being able to communicate what I've held in for an extremely long time, I feel so blessed we were able to try to make things RIGHT !!! I love you so much !!!

"Psss... I',m so blessed we can have coffee together after 14 years !!! Let's go shopping afterwards !!!!"
