Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter Maddie opens up on terrifying ATV crash for the first time
Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter Maddie has joked she's "very accident-prone" nine years after her near-fatal ATV crash. The former Zoey 101 star's 17-year-old girl was just eight years old when she was involved in an ATV accident which left her in a coma. In a YouTube video exploring her childhood injuries and illnesses, she said: "I did have an accident though. I was in a coma, and I came back to life, and I'm very blessed. "So yeah, I've just been very accident-prone. I swear my parents are amazing and they did not do anything to me." The teenager noted that early in her life, she was "in and out of hospital" undergoing "treatments all the time" for a range of health issues. She added: "I was very sick when I was really little. I had bad asthma." In February 2017, an All-terrain Vehicle (ATV) Maddie was riding rolled over into a pond, where she almost drowned. The child spent several minutes underwater as Jamie Lynn, now 34, and others struggled to free her from the ATV's safety harness. The youngster was then airlifted to Children's Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she remained unconscious for several days. Thankfully, Maddie - whose father is Jamie Lynn's ex-partner Casey Aldridge - made a full recovery with no signs of neurological damage. After her daughter's new video, the proud mother has heaped praise on the way she opened up. She wrote on Instagram: "What was supposed to be a fun way to document her senior year on @youtube has now turned into a way for her to share the not so fun parts of life too. "You can work so hard, and do everything right, yet still face adversity, no matter what path you're on in life. "You can't control everything that happens to you, but you can decide how you react to what happens to you. 'I know being a resilient person is one of the best qualities a human can have, but it's only earned by having no other choice but to be resilient. Gotta trust Gods plan. "I'm so proud of this kid, she never lets anything or anyone sit her down, and sharing her journey through it all hopefully inspires others to never stop going hard for what they want out of life."

Elon Musk Was Reportedly Accused By Britney Spears' Sister of Making Teslas Too Quiet For Her Pets to Hear — 'You Owe Me a Couple Cats'
Jamie Lynn Spears had the internet in a chokehold for a hot minute—and not for her acting or singing. The "Zoey 101" alum and Britney Spears' little sister raised eyebrows in 2021 when she reportedly accused Elon Musk of manufacturing cars too stealthy for her pets to survive. In a now-deleted Instagram video preserved by TMZ, Jamie Lynn claimed Tesla vehicles were essentially silent assassins. "We have now lost — I don't want to tell you how many cats — because they don't hear the Tesla crank and unfortunate things happen," she said. One unfortunate victim was a cat named Turkey, reportedly backed over in her driveway. Don't Miss: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. At one point, she directly addressed Tesla's CEO: "Elon Musk, let's figure this out. You owe me a couple cats." She even proposed a solution: make Teslas emit annoying noises that specifically bother animals so they move out of the way. And here's the twist—federal law already requires that. Since September 2020, all electric vehicles in the U.S. must emit at least 43 decibels of sound at low speeds to warn pedestrians. That rule, though, was designed with human safety in mind—particularly for the visually impaired—not necessarily curious backyard cats. After her comments gained traction and a fair share of internet ridicule, Jamie Lynn walked things back in a follow-up post—also deleted. She clarified that she hadn't run over any cats, Tesla wasn't really to blame, and admitted that "user error is admittedly involved." Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — According to a 2024 study by LendingTree, Tesla drivers were involved in more accidents than drivers of any other brand—26.67 accidents per 1,000 drivers, up from 23.54 the year before. Some of those crashes involved the company's self-driving features, which have faced multiple federal investigations. Ram and Subaru followed closely behind in the rankings, but Tesla once again topped the list for the most accident-prone drivers. So when Jamie Lynn later walked back her comments—clarifying that Tesla wasn't really to blame and admitting that "user error" is likely at fault—she may have unintentionally echoed what data is now confirming: sometimes the car's not the problem, but how people are using be fair, her original rant didn't seem malicious—more like a frazzled pet owner venting grief. But the internet is quick, and vague fingers pointed at Elon Musk don't go unnoticed. Tesla, for its part, didn't comment on the matter. It was a moment of viral chaos that got people talking—about pet safety, EV sound regulations, and the hazards of airing personal pet tragedies online. As for Jamie Lynn? Lesson learned: think twice before dragging billionaires into your backyard drama. Especially when the receipts are, well, deleted.
