Jamie Lynn Spears Started to 'Resent' Britney Spears
Jamie Lynn Spears reportedly 'started to resent' the way her older sister treated her nephews.
“Honestly, this makes me want to cry because I feel for those boys so much. I’m her little sister by 10 years, and I can’t imagine what her actual children must feel like at times, but I am familiar with the feeling of being a dingy trying to survive in a wave caused by another’s ship, feeling like you have to rescue yourself. I always wanted her to get better, especially for the boys,” she wrote.
The Zoey 101 star allegedly admitted that she “started to resent” her older sister for her treatment of her nephews, adding, “I’m still trying to come to terms with how she could be so unaware of anything outside of herself.”

Britney Spears Clapped Back to Jamie Lynn in Memoir
Jamie Lynn Spears and Britney Spears' relationship has seemingly been tense since 2019.
Jamie Lynn and Britney’s relationship has been strained since at least 2019. Tensions intensified after Jamie Lynn released her memoir, Things I Should Have Said, in 2022, just two months after Britney’s conservatorship lawsuit concluded.
“As I was fighting the conservatorship and receiving a lot of press attention, she was writing a book capitalizing on it,” the Crossroads actress wrote about her relationship with her sister in her own 2023 tell-all, The Woman in Me. “She rushed out salacious stories about me, many of them hurtful and outrageous.”
