Britney Spears asked her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, to stop using her name to promote his new memoir, “Things i should have said” (in Spanish: “Things I should have said”), which he just published this month.
The singer’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, sent a letter on Wednesday demanding that the artist’s younger sister “cease and desist from making derogatory references to Britney during the promotional campaign.”
“If you do not do it and continue with the defamation, Britney will be forced to consider and take appropriate legal action “, assured the representative in the letter.
Despite the fact that Jamie Lynn Spears has stayed out of the scandals that have surrounded Britney’s life, in recent months the singer has publicly accused his sister of benefiting from his work and not providing support when he pleaded for an end to the legal guardianship that controlled his life for almost 14 years.
“Although Britney has not read and does not intend to read his book, she and millions of her followers are shocked to see how he has once again exploited her for monetary gain. She will not tolerate it, nor should she“, insisted the lawyer in the letter.
Jamie Lynn Spears has always maintained a lower public profile than her older sister, but she is known for starring in the television series “Zoey 101” and for participating in Netflix’s “Sweet Magnolias
Last week, Jamie Lynn Spears offered an interview on the program “Good Morning America”, one of the most watched morning shows in the US, in which she assured that “she did not know what was happening”, when her sister was placed under a legal guardianship controlled by her father, according to the California Justice.
The younger sister also maintained that she did not benefit financially guardianship and that she “opted to distance herself” from it, since she became pregnant with 14 years old and wanted to focus on his family.
However, in the excerpts from he book that has been released, Jamie Lynn Spears accuses Britney of “throwing her to the media wolves” when she declared in court that she wanted to “sue her entire family.”
Britney, to whom the Justice agreed and ended his guardianship last November, has published several messages on Instagram, some in an aggressive tone and others more conciliatory, in which he shows his disappointment at his sister’s statements and recalls that he came to wait ” days” to answer your calls.
