Jamie Lynn Spears’ biography “Things I Should Have Said” caused quite a stir even before it was published. The charity, which was supposed to receive part of the profit, has now rejected it.
The publication of Jamie Lynn Spears’ biography is not a lucky star. It wasn’t until the summer of that year that there were angry reactions when fans believed she was taking advantage of her sister’s notoriety to sell the book.
Jamie Lynn Spears: Book sales rejected
Because for a brief moment a preview of the biography could be seen online. At that time it ran under the title: “I Must Confess: Family, Fame, and Figuring It Out”. “I Must Confess”, as every Britney fan knows, is a line from one of her most famous songs, “Baby One More Time”.
Whether it was because of the loud criticism or was really a mistake is not clear, but a short time later the publisher stated that the book should not be called that. Instead, it will be titled “Things I Should Have Said”.
But the drama doesn’t end there. Just over a week ago, Jamie Lynn Spears announced on Instagram that she wanted to use the prize to support a charitable organization that is committed to the topic of mental health. “I’m very excited to announce that some of the proceeds from my book will go to ‘This Is My Brave’ because I know how scary it can be to talk about personal problems, especially when you are not feels like you have the support or safe space to do it, “she wrote on Instagram.
Your role is enigmatic
Now “This Is My Brave” has announced that it will not accept the winnings. “We have decided to decline the offer to receive the proceeds from the book sale,” explains the organization and apologizes to everyone who felt attacked.
The background is the sharp criticism from Britney Spears fans and their accusation that Jamie Lynn has neither supported her sister in recent years nor fought for the end of her guardianship. On the contrary: the role of the younger Spears is not entirely clear.
Because it is doubtful that Jamie Lynn was not involved in the affairs of the guardianship. In 2018, the actress was appointed manager of Britney’s fortune, calling for even more power over her sister’s trust funds. Rumors that Britney’s money is not being handled carefully have been around for a long time within the movement.
Britney Spears pokes at her family
You don’t have to look far to see that Britney Spears broke not only with her father, but also with other relatives. A few days ago, the singer vented her anger. “God have mercy on my family if I ever give an interview,” she wrote in a lengthy post.
In September, Britney’s father was deposed as her guardian, with the next decision in the process slated for early November.
