"I am sincerely sorry for the negative things I said in the heat of the moment,” Lynn said.

She added that her comments came from a place of deep love for her daughter and were said while she was still in shock from Audrina’s surprise elimination from Dancing with the Stars.

“As a mother, there is no pain in this world like seeing your children upset. I am so proud of my daughter and all she has accomplished on Dancing with the Stars. I was extremely emotional after her elimination--it  just came as such a shock. I want to apologize for offending anyone."
