Britney Spears publicly feuded with her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears.
Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears came to blows over social media after both the Grammy Award winner and her younger sister spoke out about the singer’s 13-year-long conservatorship, which was terminated in 2021.
Britney Spears has been critical of her family’s role in the conservatorship for a long time, saying during her explosive June 2021 hearing that she wanted to take legal action against her family.
“I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years, and it’s enough. It’s been a long time since I’ve owned my money,” Spears said at the time. “I would honestly like to sue my family, to be totally honest with you. I also would like to be able to share my story with the world, and what they did to me, instead of it being a hush-hush secret to benefit all of them.”
In a January 2022 interview with “Good Morning America,” Jamie Lynn said, “I love my sister. I’ve only ever loved and supported her, and done what’s right by her, and she knows that. So I don’t know why we’re in this position right now.”
But in her memoir, “Things I Should Have Said,” which was released in 2022, the actor wrote about her childhood and altercations she had with the “Toxic” singer, including a time she said her sister locked them both in a room while Britney held a knife while saying she was “scared,” The New York Post reported.
Britney denied the incident ever happened, writing on X, “I’ve never been around you ever with a knife or would I ever even think to do such !!!”
Us Weekly reported that Britney’s lawyer later said in a cease-and-desist letter to Jamie Lynn, “Although Britney has not read and does not intend to read your book, she and millions of her fans were shocked to see how you have exploited her for monetary gain. She will not tolerate it, nor should she.”
Britney alleged in a since-deleted Instagram post that her childhood was drastically different from her younger sister’s and that Jamie Lynn wasn’t there for her after her public breakup with Justin Timberlake, calling her a “selfish little brat.”
However, Britney later shared kinder words for her sister in her 2023 memoir, “The Woman In Me,” writing, “She will always be my sister, and I love her and her beautiful family.”
She added, “I’m working to feel more compassion than anger toward her, and everyone who I feel has wronged me. It’s not easy.”
