She was so proud and you told that interview girl that it was just weird … LIKE I GUESS I WILL JUST WALK IN THESE HALLS … Why did you say that ??? And why watching your at length interview … Really 2 HOURS or more ????? And the topic about the knife which is ironically the only lie you've ever told in your whole life … Why is that conversation 20 min ??? and the most degrading to me … OH BUT you don't want to keep talking about it because you don't want to HURT ANYBODY'S feelings …" Spears wrote.
"yet you let it linger forever saying you felt unsafe with and WEIRD …. f--k you Jamie Lynn !!!! My mouth was on the floor the way you talked back to Mamma when I came home … Shocked out of my lined !!!!!! You were f--king hateful to her and I know Mamma had been lazy with me but I'm sorry you deserved WAY MORE than a purse knocked at you by Mamma … She should have WHIPPED YOUR A-- …Poor Mamma took it too just like I did in the end … She worshipped you too much I know but if you came out of my stomach I would have popped the s--t out of your little a--," Spears continued.

Fox News Digital obtained a cease-and-desist letter that Britney's lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, sent Jamie Lynn Monday, instructing her to "cease and desist from referencing Britney derogatorily during your promotional campaign. If you fail to do so or defame her, Britney will be forced to consider and take all appropriate legal action.

Jamie Lynn has sat for various interviews, including "Good Morning America," "Nightline" and the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. In each interview, she described her childhood and how she felt like an "afterthought" growing up.
