Non-profit declines Jamie Lynn Spears’ donation from book proceeds
THIS Is My Brave has declined Jamie Lynn Spears’s offer of a donation from the proceeds of her upcoming book.
The non-profit organisation, which aims to raise awareness about mental health issues, has responded to the backlash over the 30-year-old star’s memoir and confirmed it won’t be accepting proceeds from the book sales.
Taking to Instagram, This Is My Brave said: “We hear you.
“This Is My Brave was recently recommended to be a beneficiary organisation for the proceeds from Jamie Lynn Spears’ upcoming book.
“We have made the decision to decline the offer of receiving proceeds from the book sales.”
This was shared with another statement, which read: “We heard you. We’re taking action.
“We are deeply sorry to anyone we offended. We are declining the donation from Jamie Lynn Spears’ upcoming book.”
The Zoey 101 actress sparked a backlash in July when it was reported she planned to release an autobiography, called I Must Confess, which is a lyric from her elder sister, Britney Spears’s single… Baby One More Time. She later revealed it was titled Things I Should Have Said.
The original subtitle for the book, Family, Fame and Figuring It Out, also appeared to have been removed.
She said: “I still have ALOT of learning to do, but I feel like finishing this book gave me closure on this
