Now Isn’t The Time For Jamie Lynn Spears To Speak Out

Britney's attorney called the book 'ill-timed' - and he's right.

Jamie Lynn Spears has been sent a cease and desist letter by her older sister, Britney Spears{ =nofollow}. Few feuds have been as public as the ongoing fall out between Britney and Jamie Lynn, which has now become so heated, Britney's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, has got involved.

The letter references the interviews Jamie Lynn has been giving to promote her new memoir, Things I Should Have Said, which was released yesterday. While Jamie Lynn maintains the book is about her, and not Britney, Jamie Lynn has been happy to speak about her sister - her sister's public breakdown, and subsequent conservatorship - in bombshell interviews with Good Morning America, and a more recent two-part appearance on Alexandra Cooper's podcast, Call Her Daddy.

Britney will be hoping this next move will put a stop to that. Though the book is already out, the letter requests that Jamie Lynn stops mentioning Britney negatively in interviews. It also echoes Britney's previous sentiments that some of the stories in the memoir are untrue, as Rosengart says the 'ill-timed' memoir contains several 'misleading or outrageous claims'.(Previously defending herself in a social media post, Britney denied that she had ever locked her sister in a room while she was holding a knife.)

And Britney, and her attorney are right, now is simply not the time for Jamie Lynn to make money from a memoir which discusses their relationship. (Though sources have toldTMZ that Jamie Lynn is skipping her book tour, as she supposedly isn't in for the money.) Only two months after she was freed from 14 years of hell, and having her every move decided for her, it's time for Britney to enjoy the normal life that she has been craving for so long. Britney doesn't need to be posting public statements, in retaliation to the things Jamie Lynn has said. The mum-of-two should be enjoying her freedom with her fiancé Sam Asghari.

While it might be the wrong time, that doesn't mean that Jamie Lynn's experiences aren't valid. In the book, she explains how she dealt with anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. And like Britney, she also had problems with her parents. In the podcast with Alexandra, she accuses her parents of 'locking her away like a princess' after she became pregnant at 16 - and said that she threatened her parents with emancipation. She also claimed that her parents hid her pregnancy from Britney - it was as Britney was publicly struggling in 2007 - and that Britney learnt about it in a magazine.

But now, as over the past year the world has woken up as to what Britney went through - she testified in court last June, calling the conservatorship her dad put her in as 'abusive' and describing how she'd had an IUD fitted against her will, and was put on the drug lithium against her wishes - the attention doesn't need to be on Jamie Lynn.

Especially not when the horrors of what Britney allegedly went through are still coming to light. A new article by the New York Times details court papers which claim that her father, Jamie, paid almost $6 million from her estate to a security firm that so they could track the locations of people, through private phone records, close to Britney. The title of Jamie Lynn's book might be Things I Should Have Said, but now isn't the time for what she wants to say, either. First of all, Britney needs justice. And a break from having to defend herself.
