Britney Spears  called out her younger sibling, Jamie Lynn, amidst her upcoming memoir release. She took to her Instagram account, slamming her sister and speaking about their relationship. This came after her sister's recent interview on "Good Morning America."

In the lengthy Instagram post, she told her fans that she was sick and had gotten a 104-degree fever. She mentioned that she called her security guard to get her drugs to mitigate the pain, but he refused. She later reported that her fiancé had brought her medicine.

"It was then I looked into my phone and saw my sister in an interview to promote her book. And even though I watched while under the weather, it was kind of nice having a fever so high cause I had to surrender to not caring."

What Did Lynn Say In The Interview?

On January 12, 2022, Lynn addressed the growing feud with her sister in an interview with "Good Morning America." She denied playing a primary role in the conservatorship, despite being in charge of her finances.

"There was a time where my sister asked me, of her trust and will, if I would be the person who was sure that her boys got what they needed," she explained of the arrangement. "Whether she's in conservatorship or not, that was a very normal thing, I thought. There was no me overseeing funds or something like that," she included. "And if that was, it was a misunderstanding. Either way, I took no steps to be a part of it."

She also admitted that she didn't know what a conservatorship was and was glad when it was over.

"I love my sister. I've only ever loved and supported her and done what's right by her, and she knows that," Lynn said. "So I don't know why we're in this position right now."

The author also admitted that she tried to help her sister with resources to end the conservatorship. "I've always been my sister's biggest supporter, so when she needed help, I set up ways to do so, went out of my way to make sure that she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship."

Britney's Response

In her response, Britney opened up about what she didn't like about the interview. She also brought in a section from Lynn's upcoming book, "Things I Should Have Said," where Lynn described her behavior before the conservatorship as "erratic," "paranoid," and "spiraling."

"She was never around me much 15 years ago at that time," Britney said of Lynn's recollection of the time. "So why are they even talking about that unless she wants to sell a book at my expense? REALLY?

Then the lady mentioned why I accused her of remixing her songs. I know it may sound silly to most people, but I wrote many of my songs, and my sister was the baby. She never had to work for anything."

"Everything was always given to her," she included. "They all gotta DO IT and PLAY ME, and I always sat there and took it. But see, now it's a joke, the last thing I would ever do is ask for what was just given to her !! So yes, they did ruin my dreams."

"Hope your book does well, Jamie Lynn!" Britney wrote before disclosing that she would be going for an Instagram hiatus. "The media, this business has always been extremely hateful to me. I've given enough. MORE than enough. I was never given back ever what I wanted," she concluded.

Britney Wants To Sue Her Family

Although the conservatorship had ended last year, the legal battle is still ongoing regarding her family's behavior during the arrangement. While she testified in 2021, she expressed her desire to sue her family.

"I would honestly like to sue my family, to be honest with you," she said. "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. I want to hear what they did to me by making me keep this in for so long. I've been so angry, and I cry every day. It concerns me. I'm told I'm not allowed to expose the people who did this to me."

Lynn Says She Has Been Receiving Threats

The author defended her decision to publish the book while alluding that the behind-the-scenes aren't the same as what her sister has been talking about. She also disclosed that she's been getting death threats due to Britney's "vague and accusatory posts."

"I hate to burst my sister's bubble, but my book is not about her," Lynn began. "I can't help that I was born a Spears too and that some of my experiences involve my sister. I've worked hard since before I was even a teenager, and I've built my career despite just being someone's little sister."

She ended the note with a wish to surge forwards, not backward. "I don't want drama, but I'm speaking my truth to heal my traumas, so I can close this chapter and move forward, and I wish my sister could do the same," Jamie Lynn concluded.
