  • Jamie Lynn urged Britney to call her and to stop continuing the narrative that she has been making things up

Britney Spears' drama with sister Jamie Lynn Spears may be cooling down.

The pop superstar called out her younger sister on social media this week over the claims Jamie Lynn made in her "Nightline" interview while promoting her upcoming memoir, "Things I Should Have Said." Britney initially accused Jamie Lynn of trying to "sell a book at [her] expense."

After the younger Spears responded that her book is not about the "Toxic" hitmaker, Britney posted a new statement on Twitter Saturday saying she loves the "Zoey 101" alum "unconditionally."

"Jamie Lynn... I don't think your book is about me at all... I said some harsh things because you obviously hurt me by the things you are making up about me!!!" Britney wrote.

The 40-year-old Grammy winner also noted that she wasn't referring to Jamie Lynn as a "scum person" in her previous statement: "I could have sworn I said 'but you're not.'"

"But it doesn't make sense at all to me what you are saying!!! I know you worked hard for the life you have and you have done amazing!!!!" Britney added. "But I think we would both have to agree to the fact that the family has never been remotely as hard on you as they have been on me!!!"

Britney went on to slam Jamie Lynn for "[sitting] back and [acting] completely aloof" while she was under the control of a conservatorship for 13 years. She also mentioned her stay at a psychiatric facility, recalling that she was deprived of coffee during her time there.

Britney argued that her family "treated [her] like nothing" and said that she's "honestly shocked" that her father, Jamie Spears, isn't in jail. The pop star also said that Jamie Lynn's recent claims left her confused.

"All I know is I love you unconditionally!!!" she wrote to Jamie Lynn. "So go ahead and say whatever you want... It's so tacky for a family to fight publicly like this!!! You say you love me, yet your loyalty is still with the people that hurt me the most!!!"

Britney also said in her lengthy post that Jamie Lynn "would take days to respond" when she used to call her younger sister "from that place." She added that she never got to talk to Jamie Lynn, who would allegedly just text her days after she had reached out to her.

The "Circus" hitmaker alleged that her family "did absolutely nothing" while she was struggling "until a year ago," when Jamie Lynn and their brother Bryan showed up at her home after she posted a message on Instagram. According to Britney, that moment made her "the saddest" because she needed them "way before that" but they seemed to have not realized that.

"I don't care anymore!!! Say whatever you want to say just know I do know your real heart more than anyone!!! It's your life and you deserve a beautiful life!!!! I wish I would be able to do what you're doing and do interviews!!! I'm scared of all of it... I admire you for being strong... just know I love you and I think you know that already more than anything!!!" Britney wrote.

Jamie Lynn responded to her sister's post via her Instagram Story Saturday. She urged Britney to call her, insisting that she has been trying to speak to her "directly and handle this privately like sisters should, but you still choose to do everything on a public platform."

The younger Spears also asked Britney to stop continuing the narrative that she hasn't been there for her older sister or that she made up lies about the pop icon.

"I'm happy to share how many times I've reached out to you, supported you and tried to help you. This is embarrassing and has to stop. I love you," Jamie Lynn wrote.

Jamie Lynn had claimed during her Wednesday appearance on "Nightline" that there was an incident between the sisters in which Britney became "scared" and took a knife and locked them both in a room.

Britney immediately fired back at Jamie Lynn's claims via Twitter, saying in a lengthy post: "You've stooped to a whole new level of LOW."

Britney first spoke out against her conservatorship in June last year, insisting in court that her family should be held accountable. The conservatorship was terminated by a judge in November 2021.

Fans of the superstar have since attacked Jamie Lynn online, accusing her of not supporting Britney during the conservatorship. Last week, Britney unfollowed Jamie Lynn on Instagram.
