Britney Spears DID NOT watch sister Jamie Lynns explosive GMA interview – Daily Mail

Britney Spears is refusing to watch her younger sister Jamie Lynn’s explosive Good Morning America interview, according to reports.

Jamie Lynn, 30, sat down with anchor Juju Chang for an interview that aired on Wednesday and tearfully claimed she took ‘no steps’ to be part of her 40-year-old sister’s controversial 13-year conservatorship.

However, The Sun reports the Toxic hit-maker is ‘refusing’ to watch her sister’s interview as she is ‘deeply hurt and angry that others, who claim to love her, keep attempting to tell her narrative’.

The insider added: ‘Britney hasn’t seen her sister’s GMA interview yet. She refused but eventually I’m sure she will watch.’

They added: ‘But she will absolutely be speaking out on her own terms. Probably sooner than fans think.’

Jamie Lynn vehemently defended herself against accusations that she failed to assist her sibling in ending the guardianship, which was controlled largely by their father, Jamie.

When asked about her role in her older sister’s conservatorship, Jamie Lynn insisted during Wednesday’s interview: ‘There was no, like, me overseeing funds, and if there was that was a misunderstanding. I took no steps to be apart of it.’

Jamie Lynn added: ‘It was not about agreeing with the conservatorship, everyone has a voice and it should be heard.

‘So if she wanted to talk to other people, she did and I set that up.’

She also shared: ‘I even spoke to her legal team, her previous legal team, and that did not end in my favour.’

Jamie Lynn also claimed that she actually tried to help her sister dissolve the arrangement on a number of occasions.

‘When [the conservatorship] was put into place I was 17 years old [and] I was about to have a baby so I didn’t understand what was happening nor was I focused on that. I was focused on the fact I was a 17-year-old about to have a baby.

‘I [understood] just as little about it then as I do now.’

However, despite stating that she knew little about the ins and outs of the arrangement – which was put in place in 2008 after Britney had a mental breakdown, and which saw her father Jamie given complete control over her financial and personal health decisions – Jamie Lynn said that she made several attempts to try and help her sibling end the guardianship over the years. 

‘I’ve always been my sister’s biggest supporter so when she needed help I set up ways to do so,’ she said. 

‘[I] went out of my way to make sure that she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship and just end this all for our family. If it’s going to cause this much discord, why continue it?’  

According to Jamie Lynn, Britney also turned to her to ask for her help in ensuring that her two sons, Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, were taken care of. 

‘There was a time where my sister asked me – of her trust and will – if I would be the person who assured that her boys got what they needed,’ the singer and actress shared. 

‘Whether she is in a conservatorship or not, that was a very normal thing, I thought.’ 

Jamie Lynn, who has two daughters, went on to speak out about the rift between herself and Britney, insisting that she ‘doesn’t know’ why they are ‘in this position right now’ when all she has ‘ever’ done is ‘love and support’ her sister. 

‘That love is still there 100 per cent,’ she said. ‘I love my sister. I’ve only ever loved and supported her and done what’s right by her and she knows that so I don’t know why we’re in this position right now.’    

While fighting to end her conservatorship, Britney publicly criticized her family – including Jamie Lynn – on a number of occasions, accusing her relatives of failing to support her during her battle to end the guardianship, which was officially terminated by a California judge on November 12. 

In July last year, Britney spoke out about her sister’s performance at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards, during which Jamie Lynn performed a remix of her popstar sibling’s song Till the World Ends. 

‘I don’t like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed my songs to remixes!’ Britney – who was honoured at the awards show and was seen in the audience clapping along to her sister’s performance – wrote in a July 17 Instagram post. ‘My so-called support system hurt me deeply!’ 

Two days later, Britney publicly blasted her sister once again in a since-deleted post, in which she described Jamie Lynn as a ‘mean a**’ for failing to stand up to their estranged father. 

Speaking about her sister’s criticism of her Radio Disney performance, Jamie Lynn defended herself once again, insisting that she was ‘confused’ by Britney’s reaction and claiming that she only ever wanted to ‘honour’ the popstar’s legacy. 

‘Honestly, it was somewhat confusing to me about that,’ she said, adding that she has ‘actually spoken to her’ sister about the controversy and believes that Britney was never ‘personally upset with her’. 

‘I was doing a tribute to honour my sister and all the amazing things that she’s done. I have cleared up with the fact that I don’t think she’s personally upset with me about that. Truthfully I don’t know why that bothers her.’

When asked about the way in which she describes her sister in her new memoir, Things I Should Have Said, which is due to be published on January 18, Jamie Lynn defended her decision to detail what she refers to as Britney’s ‘erratic, paranoid, and spiralling’ behaviour, insisting that she ‘is allowed to say how she felt’. 

‘It was really important to me to first off honour my voice,’ she said. ‘[I felt like] I have to do it or how else can I expect my daughters to stand up for themselves?’ 

Although she said that it wouldn’t be ‘fair’ for her to try and describe Britney’s current ‘state of mind’, she added that she feels as though she has a right to detail how her relationship with her sibling – and her other relatives – impacted her own life over the years. 

‘I’m allowed to say how I felt because that matters. It matters that I was in pain,’ she said.

In her book, Jamie Lynn also speaks out about her estranged father Jamie, now 69, and his ‘struggles with alcohol’, writing that ‘his bouts of drinking always caused me torment and sorrow’. 

Speaking to GMA about her father’s relationship with alcohol, Jamie Lynn admitted that it ‘created a lot of anxiety’ for her, adding that Britney became like ‘another momma’ to her while they were growing up. 

‘For me [my father’s drinking] created a lot of anxiety,’ she recalled. ‘The hardest part was like, ”Could I trust you? Are you drinking? Are you not?” It was something that no kid should have to question.’

She added: ‘I adored [Britney], she just felt like everything to me. I felt like she was another momma.’ 

However, Jamie Lynn admitted that her sister’s global superstardom also had a devastating impact on her own childhood – particularly when it came to her discovery that she was pregnant with her first child at the age of 16. 

Jamie Lynn shared the news with her parents in December 2007, months before her sister’s very public meltdown, which sparked the implementation of her conservatorship, and she told GMA that the resulting public scrutiny made her situation all the more difficult to handle. 

‘I look back and I think, ”Wow, how is this acceptable?”’ she shared. ‘Why are you here other than to shame me and to benefit off a young girl who’s going through something already so traumatic and so deep and personal? We say we do better, but now we just go into the comments on Instagram and do it.’

In her memoir, the mother-of-two says she face intense pressure from her family to get an abortion, or to give her baby up for adoption, noting that ‘the entire Spears team was already caught up in my sister’s PR difficulties and everyone around me just wanted to make the issue [her pregnancy] disappear’. 

‘I think the easy thing for possibly them would have been like, ”Let’s just get this over with and you go back to being the perfect little sister, because that’s your role,”’ she told GMA host Chang of her family’s reaction to her pregnancy. 

‘I just thank God that I stood up for myself and said exactly what I wanted.’
