Lynn Spears speaks exclusively to Ryan Seacrest

E! News' Ryan Seacrest spoke exclusively with Lynne Spears this morning, setting the record straight on her role as a mother and her concern for a daughter in trouble.

Lynne, speaking as a worried mother, told Seacrest her only concern is for her daughter's well being and she just wants Britney to get better. Lynne told Seacrest she is doing everything she can and sees her role as mom to a child who clearly needs help.

She went on to say that she hopes people will question the reports they're hearing from the media and consider the source. She's afraid that everything going on is diverting attention from the real issue- Britney's health.

Lynne also wanted to make it clear that Britney's money has nothing to do with any of this.

this comes after Lufti spoke with Seacrest this morning

Los Angeles, CA – February 1, 2008 – E! NEWS' Ryan Seacrest spoke exclusively with Britney Spears' closest confidante Sam Lutfi, when he called last night after leaving the star's side in the hospital, to set the record straight on his reasons for helping the pop princess, what he's getting out of it and how he truly feels about her family.

Seacrest initially asked Lutfi what was in for him and why was he fighting so hard to take care of her, to which he responded, "I feel like I have a moral obligation (to help Britney)." He went on to say that when you meet her and she cries and she begs (you) not to turn on her, he sees this little girl and wants to help. He said he has three sisters and would do the same thing for them.

However, he was incredibly critical of Spears parents saying he has no more respect for the family and that the parents are incapable of telling the truth and incapable of sympathizing. He went on to explain that her parents are more concerned about money and their own image than they are about this girl in the hospital and he will not spend anymore time trying to earn their respect.

Lutfi did clarify to Seacrest that he does not get paid by her (Britney) and he has never made money on any photo and not accepted money from the media. He said he brought her In-n-Out for dinner in the hospital Thursday night and will be back by her side Friday morning.

Earlier Thursday, a separate insider close to the Spears camp explained exclusively to E! News that "Sam has been the only one around her 24/7, he understands her and she trusts him more than anyone else. He's getting a bad rap, he's what's kept her alive. Sam wants the family to be there for Britney but he feels that they do not understand the full extent of what's going on in her life."

The insider also said that, "Britneys relationship with her mom is touch and go, while her father Jamie's relationship with Britney is on the mend but still at a distance, they both are trying to work things out."
