Prior to the book's release, the National Enquirer leaked several of the book's revelations, including that Britney had started drinking alcohol at age thirteen, soon after she began appearing on American variety show The Mickey Mouse Club. When Britney was seventeen, her talent manager Larry Rudolph promoted her as a virgin who continued to shun premarital sex while dating teen idol Justin Timberlake.[4][5]

Sam Lutfi, a former talent manager of Britney's, began a defamation lawsuit against Lynne[6] for alleging in Through the Storm that he had isolated and drugged Britney.[7] An Entertainment Tonight article by James Herman calls Through the Storm a "jaw-dropping tell-all book".[8] In an Entertainment Weekly review, Adrienne Day writes that the book only provides information that can be found on Wikipedia, therefore its useless, and showed the gap between mother and daughter .[9]
