In a video posted on Instagram, Jamie Lynn
Spears said she felt she could now comment publicly about the
situation because her sister had testified about it in court.
"Since the day I was born, I've only loved adored and supported
my sister," Jamie Lynn Spears said.
"I'm so proud of her for using her voice," she said, adding that
"I am only concerned about her happiness" and "have nothing to
gain or lose either way."
Last week, Britney Spears, 39, told a Los Angeles judge the
conservatorship had been abusive and that she had been prevented
from removing a birth control device so she could try to have a
baby.
"I don't care if she wants to run away to a rain forest and have
a zillion babies in the middle of nowhere, or if she wants to
come back and dominate the world," Jamie Lynn Spears said.
The younger Spears, an actor who appeared in the Netflix series
"Sweet Magnolias," added she would support Britney Spears
"ending the consevatorship or flying to Mars or whatever else
she wants to do to be happy."
The legal arrangement began in 2008 when Britney Spears suffered
a mental health breakdown. A year later she made a comeback,
released new albums and performed live for 10 years until late
2018.
In 2020, Britney Spears began the legal process to remove her
father, Jamie Spears, from handling personal affairs ranging
from her medical care to who visits her secluded villa outside
Los Angeles. Jamie Spears also is a joint conservator of the
singer's finances.
