Jamie Lynn Spears Details Britney Knife Incident, Accuses Parents of Isolating Her - The Daily Beast

Tensions have been rising between the singer and her younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, who just gave another tell-all interview in the run-up to her new memoir, Things I Should Have Said.

Part one explores Jamie Lynn’s upbringing as the “oops baby” within the Spears clan, and how the tabloid frenzy surrounding their family made life unbearable for pretty much everyone involved.

Jamie Lynn also detailed a widely discussed anecdote from her book in which Britney supposedly locked them in a room with a knife, as well as the ways their family and teams kept the sisters isolated from each other.

As a source told Page Six, “Now that she’s free, Britney wanted to share everything that she’s been through when she was ready, but Jamie Lynn beat her to the punch.” TMZ reports that Jamie Lynn has axed her upcoming book tour after asking her sister to bring their “embarrassing” public exchanges to an end.

During her interview on Cooper’s podcast, Call Her Daddy, Jamie Lynn recalled growing up “insulated” by her older siblings, Britney and Bryan, whom she believes helped shield her from some of their father’s destructive behavior.

Jamie Spears is now sober, Jamie Lynn said, but his alcoholism was disruptive during her upbringing and contributed to what she described as unhealthy and skewed parent-child dynamics—especially once she and Britney began to help support their family financially.

“Of course [I felt] like her little doll,” Jamie Lynn said of Britney, “but at the same time I felt like she was my protector, I guess...

Realizing that her sister was a “real” singer was exciting for Jamie Lynn, who at one point during her interview decried fans’ claims on social media that she was jealous of her sister’s success.

But the fame was also terrifying to process at times, Jamie Lynn said—especially because they were living in a less-than-secure house in Kentwood, Louisiana, where she recalled her mother making lunch for obsessive fans who came by.

The main thrust of Jamie Lynn’s interview—the first portion, anyway—centers on the toxic tabloid environment she and her sister faced, and the lack of adult support with which they faced it.

She recalled finding out at a friend’s house that Britney had shaved her head in 2007, which Jamie Lynn faced alone as her parents were out of town to help her sister.

Jamie Lynn said the moment she chose to seize her own agency was when she got pregnant at 16 and, against her team’s alleged wishes, declined to get an abortion.

Jamie Lynn recalled becoming increasingly frustrated with her parents after the news of her pregnancy broke, especially as they attempted to control when she could see the father of her child

so why am I still being monitored like this?’” Jamie Lynn said

The move made news at the time, and Jamie Lynn said she’d been lying to her parents and saying she was attending doctor’s appointments while she clandestinely met with a lawyer

Jamie Lynn denies any involvement in the conservatorship, and when asked to name the most hurtful accusation she’s faced on social media, she replied, “That I didn’t do anything to try to help my sister
