On Friday, Britney Spears called her sister “scum” for the second time in weeks, as the family feud in the Spears family continues. She used clips of talk show hosts who came to her defense after Jamie Lynn Spears shared a tell-all book “Things I Should Have Said” that showed Britney in a bad light
Britney’s family consists of James ‘Jamie’ Spears, her father who had what Britney called an “abusive” hold on her through a 13 year conservatorship. Lynn Spears is her mother who remained seemingly indifferent to her plight for years on end. However, Jamie Lynn Spears her younger sister is the latest to profit from the pop princess as she shares about her life with Britney.
Two separate hosts Adrienne Bailon from The Real and Akbar Gbajabiamila sided with Britney Spears and called out Jamie Lynn. In separate shows, they made similar points and said that their opinion was that the younger sister should have spoken to Britney behind closed doors. Instead she had exposed her sister in a candid book that has become a best seller, without giving her sister a chance to rebut what she said. Jamie Lynn Spears opinions are totally one sided, as it appears from Britney’s posts.
Another opinion, though a bit jaded, could be that the younger sister knew that a closed door meeting with her sister would bring no financial gains. Many people profit off others and who better than the Pop Princess to profit from? An entire group of people, starting from her parents, to some lawyers as well as some staff, earned their livelihood through a conservatorship of Britney, using the money she herself had earned, to “emotionally abuse” her.

Now that there is no conservatorship, a means of earning from the pop star became limited. A tell all book at this time was bound to be a best seller. As Britney Spears herself said, “The timing of your book was unbelievable Jamie Lynn.
Britney also said that the despite their claims that they were unaware of the situation, her family knew that she was facing abuse.
Tangent: While she faced a lot of emotional trauma, it was Britney’s fans who rallied around her after the “Framing Britney Spears” documentary was released in 2021. It must also be remembered how her father used Britney’s money to fight to retain his financial and personal conservatorship over her. So, it might not be farfetched to note that a sibling could also profit off Britney Spears as Spears herself said that “she was not surprised at all” referring to the success of the book.
Britney is not the only celebrity to call out Jamie for her comments. Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas has described Jamie Lynn Spears as a “bully.”
