A week after Britney Spears testified in court against her father Jamie (under whose rule the American singer was placed after a mental breakdown in 2008), her younger sister Jamie Lynn has also publicly responded. “I have always supported my sister and will always continue to do so,” she said in tears.

Jamie Lynn Spears, 30, has been under heavy fire on social media for days. Her older sister’s fans thought it was impossible that she didn’t say anything after the emotional testimony that the pop star had given to a Los Angeles court last week. In it, she said, among other things, that she wanted to sue her father Jamie for abuse. “I’ve always said I’m happy and okay, but I’m not. I just want my life back.”
Since she had a mental breakdown in 2008, Britney Spears has been placed under the rule of her father, who also manages her fortune (estimated at $60 million). However, his supervision would go very far. The pop star has to comply with his rules about driving, clothing, social media, friendships… “I wasn’t even allowed to have my IUD removed.”
Although Britney immediately after the testimony got tons of support from other celebrities, there was no response from her younger sister. Until now. “I didn’t think it was my place to speak until my sister had the chance to do so herself. That just wasn’t right,” said Jamie Lynn – herself an actress – in an Instagram video. “I can only respond now that she has been able to tell her story. And I can only say that I have adored my sister all my life. She is and remains my older sister. I don’t care if she wanted to run away to the rainforest and have hundreds of children or make a comeback and dominate the world as she has so many times in the past. I am her sister, all I care about is her happiness.”
Jamie Lynn didn’t keep it dry during her video post. “Maybe I didn’t support her publicly, with a social media hashtag, the way you wanted me to, but I can assure you that I have always supported my sister and will always continue to do so. I don’t need a hashtag for that. I am so proud of my sister for using her voice. I support her. For the full 100 percent. All I want is for her to be happy.”
