Jamie Lynn Spears recalled what is was like for her daughter to be born into a famous family.

"She did think like all pop stars were her aunt," Jamie Lynn, 35, spilled, to which the high school student replied with a laugh, "I did think that!"

"Aunt [Lady] Gaga, Aunt RiRi [Rihanna]," the Zoey 101 alum quipped. "I was like, no, no, no, no, no."

"Because you go to these different events and award shows, and we're just in the back, and she's like offended that every pop star's not stopping by to see their niece," the Sweet Magnolias actress shared. "Like, 'You don't know those people, they don't know you.'"

Britney Spears is only on good terms with her brother, Bryan Spears.

As OK! reported, Britney has targeted her family β€” other than brother Bryan Spears β€” for years, claiming that when dad Jamie Spears put her under an abusive conservatorship, her relatives just stood by and did nothing to help her.

"My so-called support system hurt me deeply. This conservatorship killed my dreams," the Woman in Me author previously expressed.

Britney also lashed out at her younger sibling when Jamie Lynn made several damaging allegations β€” such as accusing her of having violent tendencies β€” about the pop star in her memoir. Britney responded with a cease and desist letter and accused her of using Britney's name to "sell" her book.

Britney Spears slammed Jamie Lynn Spears' memoir.

In February, the Crossroads star shared a candid post about distancing herself from her relatives.

"As people, all we really want is to feel connected to each other and never feel alone … for those of you in your family that have said to help you is to isolate you and make you feel unbelievably left out … they were wrong," she wrote. "We can forgive as people but u don’t ever forget. Yearning and longing for contact is always crucial !!! I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them."
