Jamie Lynn speaks out about Britney
Actor and singer Jamie Lynn Spears broke her silence Monday on older sister Britney Spears’s recent remarks regarding her controversial conservatorship. While addressing a Los Angeles court last week, Britney Spears requested the termination of her “abusive” conservatorship, which has severely limited the artist’s autonomy for the past 13 years.
“I just want to take a second to address a few things,” Jamie Lynn Spears said Monday in a video posted to her Instagram story. “The only reason I haven’t before is because I felt like, before my sister was able to speak for herself and say what she felt she needed to say publicly, that it wasn’t my place and it wasn’t the right thing to do.
“But now that she’s very clearly spoken and said what she needed to say, I feel like I can follow her lead and say what I feel I need to say. I think it’s extremely clear, since the day I was born, I’ve only loved, adored and supported my sister.”
Her comments seemed to take aim at people who have criticized Jamie Lynn Spears for not speaking up sooner on her older sister’s behalf. Ultimately, Jamie Lynn Spears said she’s “only concerned about her (sister’s) happiness.”
“Maybe I didn’t support (Britney) the way the public would like me to — with a hashtag on a public platform — but I can assure you that I’ve supported my sister long before there was a hashtag, and I’ll support her long after that,” Jamie Lynn Spears said, alluding to the #FreeBritney movement.
