Jamie Lynn Spears is suing a home insurance company for hurricane damage.
The 32-year-old actress lives in Kentwood, Louisiana with her husband Jamie Watson, their five-year-old daughter Ivey and 15-year-old Maddie – who she has with ex-boyfriend Casey Aldridge – and according to legal documents obtained by The Blast, the company is suing Progressive, after that she allegedly “suffered a loss” to her personal property because of the policy she had in place.
Court documents obtained by the business read: “As a result of Hurricane Ida, they suffered a loss to their personal property caused by a peril covered by the insurance policy. Progressive either negligently or intentionally failed to fairly and promptly adjust the damages as [couple]and thus breach of the terms of the insurance policy and its obligations.
“Progressive either negligently or willfully failed to fairly and promptly adjust the damages which [couple]and thus breach of the terms of the insurance policy and its obligations.”
According to the magazine, the former ‘Zoey 101’ actress – who is the younger sister of pop superstar Britney Spears – also claims that in addition to “monetary losses”, she and her family also suffered “pain and anguish” amid the disaster, which was the second most damaging and intense hurricane in Louisiana on record.
At the time, Jamie Lynn took to social media to note that she was now “devastated” about the devastation caused by the hurricane, but was proud to see her hometown pull itself together amid the crisis.
She wrote on Instagram: “It has been absolutely heartbreaking to see all the devastation #HURRICANEIDA has caused to the place I love and call home, but it has warmed my heart so much to see all our neighbors here in Louisiana come together to help each other in hard times, as they ALWAYS have.”
