A source said: ‘Jamie Lynn has decades of history and bad blood with Britney to talk about and has laid out her feelings quite clearly in her own book.
“It will be interesting to hear her talk about her life and her family and the controversial conservatorship – and to find out whether the sisters really get along – or not.”
Britney has gone back and forth in recent months between seemingly despising her sister and publicly sharing her love for her.
Although she initially shamed every member of her family in the final days of her conservatorship and the immediate aftermath of its dissolution, she has occasionally reached out with public olive branches on social media.
Earlier this summer, Britney shocked her fans when she claimed to have visited Jamie Lynn on the set of her revival film Zoey 102, even though the film appeared to have done much of its shooting on the East Coast.
In September, TMZ reported that the songwriter “fully supported” her sister for taking part in Dancing With The Stars, although several of Britney’s fans blasted Jamie Lynn for taking part in the competitive show, thinking she was just riding on her older sister’s coattails .
Britney was informed in advance of her sister’s participation in the show, and she not only “was okay with it” but was reportedly “excited” about the development.
However, Jamie Lynn only made it to week two before being voted off the show. It’s unclear whether Britney’s fans, some of whom had vowed to vote her out, played a decisive role in the move, but she had received fairly good scores from the judges.

It’s unclear whether Britney’s thaw with Jamie Lynn will last, and her other attempt to reconcile with her mother Lynne appears to have failed.
Although her mother visited Britney earlier this year, shortly before her divorce from husband Sam Asghari, the two are reportedly estranged again.
In a shocking excerpt from her memoir, Britney called Jamie Lynn a ‘total b**ch’ – even though she described her sister when she was just 11 years old.
Britney recalled that she was fed up with her sister’s allegedly terrible behavior when she returned home from her tour in 2002, a source tells We weekly on Thursday.
The catty clip leaked just days after a clip leaked in which Britney claimed she had an abortion after becoming pregnant at 19 because her then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake “wasn’t ready to be a father.”
In the latest piece from her memoir, the singer slams Jamie Lynn’s behavior in their family home due to her poor treatment of their mother, who was struggling in the aftermath of her divorce.

Britney wrote that she came home from tour to find Jamie Lynn – now 32 – “ruling” their house.
She reportedly added that she felt “betrayed” by the way the rising actress — who would star in Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 three years later — had “changed” while away from home.
The Toxic singer also delved into Jamie Lynn’s decision to write her own memoir, Things I Should Have Said, which was published in January 2022.
According to the source, she reserved some vitriol for the Zoey 102 star ahead of her book’s release, although it’s unclear whether this was due to Jamie Lynn’s claims about her older sister, or because she was trying to get ahead of her the market with a tell-tale sign. each with its own book.
