Britney Spears signs $15-million book deal
LA TimesAfter dueling over her sister’s tell-all book, now Britney Spears is about to get her own take in print. Last month, the singer called out younger sister Jamie Lynn for talking up Spears family drama while promoting her own new memoir, “Things I Should Have Said.” During the conservatorship, Jamie Lynn had been selected as a trustee of the pop superstar’s estate and appeared to be seeking more control over Britney’s fortune in August 2020. In a series of interviews promoting her book last month, Jamie Lynn, 30, had called her sister “erratic, paranoid” and “spiraling.” Jamie Lynn told ABC’s Juju Chang that she was happy when her sister’s 13-year conservatorship ended in November, adding that she had little to do with the legal arrangement that has controlled Britney’s personal life and career for over a decade. She said she tried to help Britney have her voice be heard, adding she was her sister’s “biggest supporter.” But Britney didn’t agree, saying her sister’s book was taking advantage of the singer’s troubles. Jamie Lynn made her name in the entertainment industry as a Nickelodeon star on the cable network’s show “All That” and series “Zoey 101.” Jamie Lynn responded to Britney’s social media posts with disappointment, writing on Instagram that addressing the drama was the last thing she wanted.
