Jamie Lee CurtisJamie Lee Curtis believes Kathy Hilton, Lynne Spears and Dina Lohan are at least partially to blame for their daughters’ recent problems.

In an article for the Huffington Post, Jamie, a mother of two children and herself the daughter of Hollywood stars Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, described Paris Hilton reached out for mum Kathy after Friday’s court hearing as “a painful episode”.

Paris is said to have cried “Mom, mom, mom” and then “it’s not right” after being sent back to jail on Friday which Jamie interprets as: “A young woman, begging her mother, the person who should have taught her right from wrong, to help her, to teach her the rules of life. It was a little too late. And so she wept as the Universe was bringing the teaching and settling the score.”

“The sad paths of the three most popular young women [Paris, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears] have ended in prison, rehab and mental illness. I hope their mothers are worried sick and wondering, ‘What could I have done differently?’ And our culture should be asking the same question too.”

Jamie believes the problem stems from parents trying to be friends with their children and ignoring their authority and guiding roles: “We were raised by people who didn’t ‘understand’ us and now we don’t ‘understand’ why our children are so messed up.”

“Can we take the wrenching sight of Paris asking her mother, ‘why?’ and ask it of ourselves? … Wake up, Mothers, and smell the denial.”
