Jamie Lynn Spears gave her eldest daughter a controversial Christmas gift this year.
On Thursday, the actress, 34, presented Maddie with an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) almost a decade after the 17-year-old nearly died in an ATV accident.
The brand-new red Honda FourTrax Rancher 4×4 was featured in an Instagram carousel containing photos and videos from the family’s celebrations.
One slide showed a close-up shot of the front of the vehicle, which was decorated with a big red bow and a festive sign that read, “Maddie!”
Later in the roundup, a smiling Maddie was pictured sitting atop her present as her 7-year-old half-sister, Ivey, sat behind her.
“Merry CHRISTMAS ✝️🤶🏻🎀🎄🎁,” their mom captioned the post.
Maddie commented, “wow you did me so dirty,” prompting Spears to reply, “I can’t win here.” The context is unclear.
The teen famously survived a near-fatal accident in February 2017 when she was just 8 years old.
At the time, it was reported that she was riding a Polaris ATV in Louisiana, where she lives, when she overcorrected to avoid a ditch, which caused the vehicle to flip and enter a pond.
Maddie remained trapped underwater beneath the vehicle for long enough that she lost consciousness, despite Spears and her husband Jamie Watson’s efforts to save her.
She was eventually rescued by emergency responders but remained in critical condition as she was airlifted to a hospital, where she was hooked up to a ventilator.
Maddie was discharged a few days later, making a full recovery.
She addressed the terrifying “accident” for the first time in August, briefly explaining in a YouTube video, “I was in a coma, and I came back to life, and I’m very blessed.”
The University of Southern Mississippi student described herself as “very accident-prone” and her parents as “amazing.”
“They did not do anything to me,” she insisted.
