The ongoing family drama surrounding pop star Britney Spears has taken a new turn as her sister Jamie Lynn and mother Lynne have reportedly decided to ignore the singer's latest rants and move on with their lives. Sources close to the family reveal that the Spears clan is fed up with Britney's attention-seeking shenanigans and has adopted a new tactic of giving her the silent treatment.
"Jamie Lynn and her mom will always worry about Britney, but they're done indulging her bad attitude," an insider told GLOBE. "They're trying a new tactic, giving her the silent treatment!"
The tension between Britney and her family escalated after the 41-year-old singer's 13-year court-ordered conservatorship ended in November 2021. Britney dropped her father Jamie, mother Lynne, and 32-year-old sister Jamie Lynn from her life, expressing her desire to sue her family and share her story with the world.
The feud between Britney and Jamie Lynn recently intensified when the former Zoey 101 star was caught on camera attending a concert by Britney's long-time rival, Christina Aguilera, in Las Vegas. The bad blood between Britney and the 43-year-old "Dirrty" singer dates back to their days co-starring on The Mickey Mouse Club, with evidence of their rivalry even found scrawled on furniture in Britney's childhood home.
"For Jamie Lynn to show up at Christina's concert was a slap in Britney's face," the tipster revealed. "But she's unapologetic. She accepted some free tickets and had a blast, so Britney can rant and rave all she likes."
The source added that Britney's sister and mother are still upset about the pop princess turning her back on her father after medical problems required doctors to amputate his leg. "They both think it's disgusting the way Britney treated her dad," the insider continued. "They're tired of her self-obsessed whining and foot-stomping. It's water off a duck's back for them at this point."
Meanwhile, Britney is reportedly set to tell her side of the story in a scathing $15 million book deal with Simon & Schuster, which is said to be one of the biggest deals of all time, behind only the Obamas. The upcoming tell-all is expected to shed light on how the Spears family allegedly took advantage of the successful singer during her conservatorship.
The book deal comes after Jamie Lynn released her own memoir, "Things I Should Have Said," which received a scathing review from Britney in a now-deleted Instagram post. "Congrats best seller.....The nerve of you to sell a book now and talk st but your fking lying.....I wish you would take a lie detector test so all these masses of people see you're lying through your teeth about me," Britney wrote.
As Britney prepares to reclaim her power and share her truth with the world, the Spears family is reportedly nervous about the potential revelations in her upcoming book. With the court case only scratching the surface of the trauma Britney endured during her 13-year conservatorship, the family may have good reason to be concerned.
The ongoing rift between Britney and her family serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics that can arise within celebrity families, especially when issues of control, money, and power are at play. As the Spears clan attempts to distance themselves from Britney's rants and move forward, it remains to be seen how the pop star's upcoming tell-all will impact their already strained relationships.
