Lynne Spears says the public had a "totally different reaction" to the teen pregnancies of her daughter Jamie Lynn and Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol.

"It's as if [Sarah Palin] became celebrated," Lynne told Newsweek. "I mean, the mother, Palin, was celebrated for this.

"Every woman in the world has applauded her strength and her convictions and poor little old Jamie Lynn, you saw how she was crucified - everybody did, firsthand," Lynne said. "I just feel like it's been a very hypocritical situation."

In August, Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, revealed that her 17-year-old daughter is expecting and engaged.
