Britney Spears is calling out her sister Jamie Lynn yet again, as she continues to promote her new book Things I Should Have Said amid what Britney sees as questionable timing.
The pop star took to Instagram on Friday, questioning the memoir’s timing and sharing a clip from The Real of show panelists discussing Jamie Lynn’s decision to release a book around the ending of Britney’s 13-year-long conservatorship. In her caption, Britney sarcastically mentions her younger sister on earning a “best seller.”
“National best seller ???? DUH 🙄 …. the timing of your book was unbelievable Jamie Lynn … especially knowing the whole world had no clue what was really done to me !!!!” Britney wrote. “My whole family including you is saying YOU DIDN’T KNOW …. Bullshit !!!”
Spears added that what the women in the clip—including Adrienne Bailon Houghton, who said the book should’ve been titled The Things I Should Have Said to My Sister and My Sister Alone But Instead I’ve Decided to Make a Book for Profit—said was “pretty clear,” revealing that she’s “kinda shocked that more people like these real soul sisters aren’t telling it like it is.”
“I wish you would take a lie detector test so all these masses of people see you’re lying through your teeth about me,” Britney wrote. “I wish the almighty, Lord would could come down and show this whole world that you’re lying and making money off of me !!!!”
Britney’s comments come as reports of her issuing a cease and desist letter against her sister began to surface last week. As TMZ reports, Jamie Lynn is being asked to “cease and desist from referencing Britney derogatorily during your promotional campaign,” otherwise Britney’s attorneys will take legal action, amid the book promotion cycle that’s been causing an ongoing back-and-forth between family members.
Previously, Britney opened up about watching her sister grow up with a Nickelodeon show under her belt as a pre-teen, implying that she was spoiled while Britney had to work to get to her position in music.
“I flew home to Jamie Lynn on the couch watching her tv shows right after Justin and I broke up… I was a ghost there,” she wrote weeks back. “I had worked my whole life and I didn’t know how to be served by Mamma… sit there and get served the chocolate milkshakes with the perfectly crushed ice with the secret chunky sugar. Meanwhile, Jamie Lynn is 12, she indulges with the TV for hours then goes to lay out on a raft at the pool… I’m in shock because this was never my life !!! Justin’s family was all I knew for many years… Things were different now and Jamie Lynn had a new Nickelodeon show … All I remember saying was ‘DAMN !!! How the hell does a 12 year old land a Nickelodeon show ????’ ….. HMMMMMMMM …. Well I never got my iced chocolate drink.”
