Jamie Lynn Spears and her older sister Britney Spears have a strained relationship.
Jamie Lynn defends her sister against critics
Over the years, Jamie Lynn has defended her sister against critics.
Recently, Jamie Lynn talked about Britney on a TV show titled “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”
Jamie Lynn reveals Britney’s enduring advice on dealing with public criticism
In June 2016, Jamie Lynn told People Now that she and Britney had many conversations about handling fame.
“But I think the main thing is trying to be yourself and keeping that as a core value for yourself and keeping your family close to you,” she said. “The people around you are really important to who you are. And I think that’s the biggest thing I’ve taken away from all the chaos overall.”
When asked about her perspective on witnessing some of Britney’s tough moments, Jamie Lynn said: “We’re very honest and our emotions are out there and I think that has manifested publicly. But the reason I think people love her is you see she has been real.”
Jamie Lynn talks to Entertainment Tonight about Britney’s desire for pop music, despite her Southern upbringing
Jamie Lynn said: “For me, at that time, pop music was a dream far from reality. We were from this small town in the middle of nowhere and she was like, ‘Hey, I want to do what Madonna does. I want to do this.’”
She added: “It made sense for Britney to do country music in our small town in Louisiana.”
Jamie Lynn also said she never envisioned her sister would release a full country music album.
She said: “What she is is more than just music. She has created a real legacy. She will try everything, and I hope she does, but I think she has her own lane. She knows what she’s doing.”
In 2016, Jamie Lynn praised her amazing sister
At that time, Britney performed a medley of her songs at the Billboard Music Awards, where she also received the Icon Award, and was in the middle of what would become a four-year Las Vegas residency.
Jamie Lynn told People: “My sister is in a great place right now.”
She added: “We have to focus on how amazing she is, especially her. She is killing it right now!”
Jamie Lynn said she hopes her daughters have a relationship similar to hers with Britney
Jamie Lynn told People in May 2018: “My sister and I are ten years apart, and Maddy and Ivey are ten years apart, so I hope they have the same kind of relationship that was almost like a second mom.”
She added: “It will be a special relationship. Sisters are something special – especially when there’s an age gap.”
A few months later, Jamie Lynn posted a video on Instagram showing Ivey attending her first-ever Britney show.
In April 2019, Jamie Lynn shared a harsh message for critics and warned them not to come near her or her loved ones
In light of the growing #FreeBritney movement and increasing concerns about Britney’s health and safety, Jamie Lynn shared an old video of herself and her sister being harassed by paparazzi on the street, with one person provoking the famous star.
Jamie Lynn wrote: “Ten years ago, who was here? I was here before anyone else and I’ll be here after. I love my sister with all my heart. So anyone or anything that speaks contrary can go to hell with all the comments about what you don’t understand.”
She said in a following post: “Don’t come near me or my loved ones anymore.”
Jamie Lynn said having a famous sister was a “crucial” example for her as she began her career
She said
Jamie Lynn in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, published in May 2020: “Britney has always been open and honest with me about the good and bad aspects that come with this industry.”
Jamie Lynn added that Britney’s guidance positively influenced her career choices.
The young star said, “She lived that experience and then shared all the secrets with me. Without Britney, I might have made a lot of different decisions. I might not have valued my personal time, and I just wanted to be a kid, and I might have said yes to projects I didn’t really want to do.”
Similar to her previous comments about the advice she received from Britney, Jamie Lynn told THR that Britney taught her to prioritize her family and inner circle.
Jamie Lynn described Britney as “a strong, amazing, and unstoppable woman”
In an Instagram post in July 2020, which she later deleted, Jamie Lynn shared celebrity snapshots featuring Halsey and Maren Morris concerning mental health.
Spears commented on the post: “If you’re struggling with mental illness or caring for someone who is, you know how important it is to respect the situation for the person and the family trying to protect their loved ones, no matter how it appears to the public, and we as an audience need to learn to do the same.”
Jamie Lynn responded to an Instagram user who criticized her for not speaking about Britney’s mental health, where the actress reportedly said, “You don’t have the right to assume anything about my sister, and I don’t have the right to speak on her health and personal matters. She is a strong, amazing, and unstoppable woman, and that is the only thing that’s clear.”
Jamie Lynn expressed how Britney is handling the legal situation surrounding her conservatorship
Jamie Lynn said, “I think she’s doing like all of us.”
She added, “She’s trying to do her best and stay positive during a very tough time and a hard year, and I think that’s what makes everyone stand out right now.”
Jamie Lynn said Britney was her “biggest cheerleader”
In an interview with The Guardian, published in November 2020, Jamie Lynn vividly recalled the impact of Britney’s fame on her while being in a car surrounded by fans.
She said, “Something happened in my head on that car ride, like my sister is famous: famous like Mariah Carey. She created a huge force for herself. In that moment, I knew I wanted that too.”
She added, “I’ve always looked up to her with pride, and she was my biggest cheerleader guiding me in an honest way.”
Jamie Lynn spoke out after the release of the New York Times documentary titled “Framing Britney Spears”
Jamie Lynn wrote on her Instagram story in February 2021: “Dear media, try not to repeat the mistakes of your past. Look at where you’ve come. Do better.”
In another Instagram story, Jamie Lynn denied attending the virtual #FreeBritney rally – but confirmed that she supports Britney.
She wrote, “Some media outlets published a false story about my attendance at a virtual rally yesterday. In fact, someone impersonated me without my knowledge. I love my sister very much, but I was not aware of the rally and did not attend the virtual rally.”
In June 2021, Jamie Lynn finally expressed her views on the #FreeBritney movement after being criticized for not publicly voicing her support
Jamie Lynn said in a video posted on her Instagram story: “Since the day I was born, I have loved, adored, and supported nothing but my sister.”
She added, “I mean, that’s my damn big sister, before anything else.”
She continued, “This situation doesn’t affect me in any way because I’m just her sister, and I’m only concerned about her happiness.”
Jamie Lynn also stated that she has not financially benefited from her sister’s success.
She said:
“I have been paying my bills since I was ten years old. I owe the public nothing because my sister knows I love her and support her,” she stated.
She added, “Maybe I haven’t supported the way the public wants on a public platform with a hashtag, but I can assure you I have supported my sister long before there was a hashtag and I will continue to support her after.”
Jamie Lynn said that Britney sent gifts for her daughters
The “Sweet Magnolias” star posted a picture of a toy box on her Instagram story in July 2021, writing, “Nothing sweeter than coming home to find a box full of gifts for my daughters from their aunt.”
Jamie Lynn also included Britney’s official Instagram account in the post, signaling that the gifts came from the famous star.
In January 2022, Jamie Lynn spoke about her relationship with Britney and her reaction to the end of her conservatorship
In an interview aired on “Good Morning America,” Jamie Lynn told Juju Chang from ABC News that she was “happy” when Britney’s conservatorship was terminated in November 2021 after 13 years.
Jamie Lynn said she was 17 years old when the conservatorship was established and did not fully understand the situation.
She said, “I didn’t take any steps to get involved.”
She added, “I have always been my sister’s biggest advocate, so when she needed help, I made sure to find ways to do that. I went above and beyond to make sure she had the contacts she needed to end this conservatorship and end all of this for our family. If it was going to cause this much turmoil, then why continue it?”
Jamie Lynn also mentioned that she was confused by their public feud.
She said, “The love is still there. 100%. I love my sister. I have loved and supported her and done what is right by her, and she knows that, so I don’t know why we are in this situation now.”
In her interviews and book, the star also claimed that Britney once took a kitchen knife and locked Jamie Lynn in a room after becoming “scared.”
Jamie Lynn said she was young at the time and did not know what triggered that reaction from Britney, but the incident occurred after Britney married Jason Alexander in Las Vegas.
Days before the release of her book, Jamie Lynn posted a statement regarding the “exhausting” nature of Britney’s public comments and accusations
Jamie Lynn wrote on her Instagram story in February 2023, “Brit, I’m always here, know that I’ve always been here behind the scenes.”
She added, “It becomes exhausting when the conversations and private messages we share don’t match what is posted on social media. I know you are going through a lot, and I don’t want to downplay that, but I also can’t downplay myself.”
Jamie Lynn said she chose to speak up to protect herself and her family, who have received death threats. She also stated that her book is not about Britney.
She wrote, “I can’t help that I was born a Spears too, and that some of my experiences include my sister. I have worked hard since I was a child, even before I was someone’s sister.”
Jamie Lynn broke down in tears while discussing her role in her family and her strained relationship with Britney
During her emotional appearance on Alex Cooper’s podcast titled “Call Her Daddy” released in early 2022, Jamie Lynn said it is still difficult to process her past experiences in real time during interviews.
Jamie Lynn, the youngest of three siblings, said she has always felt like a “second thought” and did not have her own voice. When Britney became famous, Jamie Lynn said she tried to step back and avoided saying anything negative about her sister.
As well…
The actress expressed her displeasure that she was put in competition with Britney and lacked her own identity.
She said, “Why can’t two sisters exist on their own terms? We didn’t compare ourselves to each other, the world did.”
She added, “We didn’t have that dynamic or that issue. My sister to this day will be the best performing artist on the face of the earth and nothing will change that.”
Jamie Lynn said while crying, “I have felt my whole life that I don’t matter, I am of no importance.”
Jamie Lynn discusses Britney in her book “Things I Should Have Said: Family, Fame, and Dealing with It”
Her book included various surprises about her family and upbringing. Jamie Lynn, who is 10 years younger than Britney, said her sister was “like a second mother” when she was born.
Jamie Lynn wrote, “The skewed relationship I share with Britney was compounded by her dedication to me as a child.”
She added, “Being Britney Spears’ sister is not what people think. From the day I arrived, I became for Britney. She was often the mother in the working world and took care of the family. She was also dealing with the complexities of a husband with an addiction.”
Jamie Lynn said that Britney “spent hours” caring for her and dressing her up like a doll.
She said, “She took care of me as a child and continued doing so when I started singing and creating my own sketches. She flooded me with attention, love, and praise even into my teenage years.”
Jamie Lynn refrained from going into too many details about the status of her relationship with Britney in an interview with Variety
Jamie Lynn said in an interview published in July 2023, “I have deep love for each of my family members.”
She added, “If I learned anything from last year, I am very open and I feel like I have had to defend myself at times, I don’t feel there is anything else to say.”
She continued, “I have to leave it where it is because those conversations are personal. All I can focus on now is my daughters, my husband, and the work I am doing.”
While participating in the 23rd season of the British reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”, Jamie Lynn said she loves Britney
During one episode, Jamie Lynn was asked if she remembered when Britney kissed Madonna famously at the 2003 MTV VMAs.
She said, “I was at home watching it and saying, ‘Okay, this is going to be fun tomorrow at school, can’t wait.’”
She added, “I was just a regular kid.”
Jamie Lynn also said she grew up loving and defending her sister.
She said, “Anything my sister did, I thought it was the best. When it comes to my sister, even if I felt anything, if anyone said anything, I was ready to go. I would say, ‘Don’t talk about my sister, she’s the best.’”
When one of the contestants asked her if it’s true that she and Britney don’t get along now, the actress responded, “Yes, I love my sister.”
During another conversation, Jamie Lynn said Britney might be concerned about her if she’s watching the show.
Jamie Lynn said, “I think she might be following me closely. I think she might be saying, ‘Why would you do that?’ She asked me that before I came here, she said, ‘Are you really going to do that?’”
She added, “She’s a good big sister. I love her. We fight. The world saw that. I learned to stop talking about it publicly, but I learned that families fight. Listen, we do it better than most people.”
