Jamie Lynn Spears Dragged For Crying 'Crocodile Tears' & Accusing Sister Britney Of Not Taking Advantage Of Her 'Help' In Freeing Singer From Conservatorship

Jamie Lynn writes in her book, titled Things I Should Have Said, that she noticed Britney's behavior start to change. She used the words "erratic," paranoid" and "spiraling" to describe what she believes she saw.

But when asked during her interview how she sees her sister's "state of mind currently," Jamie Lynn changed her tone. "I can't really speak to anyone's else's state of mind," she told Chang. "I don't think that's fair."

"But I'm allowed to say how I felt about in those because that matters," she added. "It matters that I was in pain."

In her June 2021 testimony, Britney called her conservatorship "abusive" and said she would "honestly like to sue my family" because "my family has lived off my conservatorship for 13 years."

While Jamie Lynn insists she was "happy" that the legal arrangement ended up being terminated, she claims she's never had much knowledge of its inner workings.

"First off, I don't understand– When it was put into place, I was a 17-year-old. I was about to have a baby, so I didn't understand what was happening, nor was I focused on that," she explained. "I was focused on the fact that I was a 17-year-old about to have a baby. I understand just as little about it then as I do now."

The one-time star of Nickelodeon's teen sitcom Zooey 101 told Chang that the singer once asked her to be on her trust and will.

"I would be the person who would make sure that her boys got what they needed," said Spears. "Whether she's in a conservatorship or not, that was a very normal thing, I thought. Once I realized that, you know what, she's in a conservatorship, I just felt like I didn't wanna be a part of [it] until maybe she was out of the conservatorship."

"So there was no, like, me overseeing funds or something like that. And if it was, that was a misunderstanding," she added. "But either way, I took no steps to be a part of it."

Not only that, but Jamie Lynn claims she even tried to give Britney the resources to help her get her freedom back but that they were ultimately not used.

"I've always been my sister's biggest supporter, so when she needed help, I set up ways to do so," said Jamie Lynn. "I went out of my way to make sure that, um, she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship and just end this all for our family. If it's gonna cause this much discord, why continue it?"

She did not elaborate on what steps she took or what contacts she allegedly provided her sister.

When asked point blank whether she ever agreed with the legal arrangement in question, the actress replied, "It wasn't about agree with the conservatorship. Everyone has a voice, and it should be heard. So if she wanted to talk to other people, then I did, I set that up. I even spoke to her legal team ... previous legal team, and that did not end well in my favor."

"I did take the steps to help," she insisted, "but how many times can I take the steps without, um, you know, she has to walk through the door."

Last July, Britney put her sister on blast for her "tribute performance" at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards, saying that the move felt like betrayal and hurt her deeply.

"Honestly, it was somewhat confusing to me about that, and I actually have spoke to her about that," said Jamie Lynn. "I was doing a tribute to honor my sister and all the amazing things that she's done."

"I don't think she's personally upset with me about that," she went on, going on to add, "Truthfully, I don't know why that bothers her."

Chang asked Spears what happened to the love she once had for her "second mama."

"Um, that love is still there, 100 percent," she replied. "I love, um, I love my sister. I've only ever loved and supported her and done what's right by her. And she knows that, so I don't know why we're in this position right now."
