Jamie Lynn Spears Breaks Silence Following Britney Spears’ Emotional Conservatorship Testimony

Jamie Lynn Spears Breaks Silence Following Britney Spears Emotional Conservatorship Testimony

Jamie Lynn Spears broke her silence after her sister, Britney Spears, delivered a heartbreaking testimony during her latest court hearing for her conservatorship.

Jamie addressed the testimony in a series of videos posted to her Instagram story.

“I just want to take a second to address a few things,” Jamie Lynn began. “The only reason I haven’t before is because I felt like until my sister is able to speak for herself and say what she felt she needed to say publicly, that it wasn’t my place or it wasn’t the right thing to do. Now that she has very clearly spoken and said what she needed, I feel like I can follow her lead and say what I feel I need to say.”

The actress continued saying that she has always “loved, adored and supported” her sister since she was born, and assured fans that she was sticking beside her big sister behind-the-scenes.

“I don’t care if she wants to run off to the rainforest and have a gazillion babies in the middle of nowhere or if she wants to come back and dominate the world the way she has so many times before,” she explained. “I have nothing to gain or lose either way. This situation does not affect me either way because I am only her sister who is only concerned about her happiness.”

“I have made a very conscious choice to only participate in her life as her sister, as an aunt to those boys. Maybe I didn’t support the way the public may have liked me to with a hashtag on a public platform, but I can assure you I have supported my sister long before there was a hashtag and I’ll support her long after…note that.”

Britney Spears Calls For The End of ‘Abusive’ 13-Year Conservatorship: ‘I Just Want My Life Back’

Britney Spears Calls For The End of 'Abusive' 13-Year Conservatorship: 'I Just Want My Life Back'

Britney Spears broke her silence for the first time since her conservatorship was established in 2008.

Over the past 13 years, her father has been appointed as the conservator of her estimated $60 million estate and she described it as a controlling nightmare.

“A lot has happened since two years ago…the last time I was in court,” the singer began her heartbreaking 20-minute speech. “I haven’t been back to court in a long time because I don’t think I was heard on any level when I came to court the last time.”

The “Toxic” singer alleges that she was forced to perform, wasn’t given any privacy, and was forced to take medication, birth control, and therapy sessions against her will.

Britney says she was put on Lithium despite her objections. “Lithium is a very, very strong [medication] and completely different medication than what I’ve been on. You can go mentally impaired if you take too much, stay on it longer than five months,” Spears said. “I felt drunk. I couldn’t even stick up for myself. I couldn’t even have a conversation with my mom or dad about anything. I told them I was scared and they had six different nurses come to my home to monitor me while I was on this medication that I didn’t want to be on to begin with.”

She criticized her family, including her father Jamie Spears, for the way they’ve been handling her conservatorship.

“My family didn’t do a God damn thing,” she said. “Anything that happened to me had to be approved by my dad… he was the one who approved all of it. My whole family did nothing.”

Despite her fans’ speculations, Britney decided to keep matters off of social media. “I thought I might become happy because I’ve been in denial.” she said. “I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. You know, fake it til’ you make it. But now I’m telling you the truth, ok. I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, it’s insane and i’m depressed.”

She pleaded with the judge to take her concerns seriously because they weren’t the last time she was in court.

“The last time I spoke to you…made me feel like I was dead, like I didn’t matter, like nothing had been done to me, like you thought I was lying,” Spears said. “I want to be heard. I’m telling you this again so that maybe you understand the depth and degree and the damage…I want and deserve changes going forward.””I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough,” she added.

Britney Spears also stated that she wanted to start a family with her boyfriend but isn’t allowed to under her conservatorship. He’s not even allowed to drive her in his car.

“I was told right now in the conservatorship, I’m not able to get married or have a baby,” Spears said. “I have an I[U]D inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant. I wanted to take the IUD out so I could start trying to have another baby, but this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don’t want me to have children, any more children.””I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive,” she said.Spears ended her comments by saying, “Basically this conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. I deserve to have a life. I’ve worked my whole life,” she said, asking for the conservatorship to end. “I feel ganged up on, I feel bullied, I feel left out and alone. I’m tired of feeling alone. I deserve to have the same rights as anybody.”

They’re due back in court on July 14th.

Britney Spears Was Granted Permission To Speak To The Court About Her Conservatorship

Britney Spears

Britney Spears will get the chance to speak directly to the court on her conservatorship for the first-time.

Samuel Ingham, Spears’ court-appointed attorney, requested for his client to address the court herself.

“Conservatee asks the court for a status hearing so she she can address the court directly,” Ingham told the judge. The singer wants to speak to the court expeditiously!

“My client has asked that it be done on an expedited basis,” said Ingham.

The singer will speak on June 23rd and “the purpose of the status hearing would be the status of the conservatorship.”

Britney Spears doesn’t wish to end her conservatorship but she wants her father to resign and wants to appoint Jodi Montgomery, a private professional fiduciary, as her conservator instead.

“[Spears] expressly reserves the right to petition for the termination of this conservatorship,” states the court filing. “Nothing in the within petition shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of that right.”
