Britney Spears Fans Think Jamie Lynn Spears Pulled a ‘Classic PR Tactic’ In Her Tell-All Interview
Britney Spears has been in the headlines nearly every day for the past few years. But lately, her younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, has been making a stir — which increased following a tell-all interview.
On January 12, 2022, the younger Spears sat down with Good Morning America to talk about her relationship with her famous sister and relay thoughts on the conservatorship that governed her sister’s life for many years. While some fans responded positively to Jamie Lynn Spears’ confessions, others found flaws with the video interview. And some even called into question the singer’s motives, noting some possibly sneaky “PR tactics” utilized by Jamie Lynn Spears to gain the public’s favor.
What did Jamie Lynn Spears reveal in her ‘Good Morning America’ interview?
Jamie Lynn Spears is doing a promotional tour for her new book, Things I Should Have Said. As part of her tour, the actor recently appeared on Good Morning America to discuss her life. Most notably is her relationship with her older sister, Britney Spears.
In the interview, Spears maintained that she has always been her sister’s “biggest supporter.” “When she needed help, I set up ways to do so, went out of my way to make sure that she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship and just end this all for our family.”
Jamie Lynn Spears even said she spoke directly with Britney Spears’ legal team, saying she did “take the steps to help.” Notably, all eyes are on Spears after recent social media posts from Britney Spears blamed her family for not doing more to help her. She even unfollowed her younger sister on Instagram, causing many fans to believe there’s a deep rift between the two sisters.
Some believe Spears deliberately pulled a PR tactic
Jamie Lynn Spears claimed she did what she could to help her older sister. But this didn’t convince some people. A tweet from Pop Culture News called out the all-white suit that Spears wore in the interview, writing, “Sry Jamie Lynn… no white suit is going to save your reputation. Classic PR tactic wearing white. We see right through you.”
Others took to social media in the hours and days following the interview. Artist Simon Curtis slammed Spears for the interview on Twitter. He called her a “complicit ghoul” for actively gaslighting the public.
How did Britney Spears react to Jamie Lynn Spears’ interview?
Also in the GMA interview, Jamie Lynn Spears claimed her relationship with her older sister is strained, saying that she “doesn’t know” why they are in such a bad place these days. Britney Spears didn’t take long to respond, with the iconic singer taking to Twitter to post a lengthy response. She wrote her younger sister “was never around me much 15 years ago at that time. So why are they even talking about that unless she wants to sell a book at my expense?”
She also claimed that the Zoey 101 star “never had to work for anything. The singer doubled down on her previous remarks that her family, including her sister Jamie Lynn, “ruined her dreams.” It certainly seems that the rift between the two sisters will only continue to widen. And if Jamie Lynn Spears continues to speak out, the damage could fracture their already-strained relationship for good.
