Dr. Phil called Lynne Spears a "great mother" when he talked to People about the whole JL drama.

He said, "We know the Spears family, particularly the parents. An asset that Britney and Jamie Lynn both have is a great and dedicated mother. Lynne has her feet squarely and solidly on the ground."

"I talked to Lynne yesterday and she said they're turning to prayer, asked that I pray for them. That's how they're going to get through it."
