Jamie Lynn Spears’s Upcoming Book Claims Parents Pressured Her to Get an Abortion In Order To Maintain Career
Jamie Lynn Spears, 30, was the subject of the unfavorable press in 2007 after it was reported that she was pregnant and planning to give birth. Despite the fact that Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101” was not canceled due to its star’s pregnancy, the adolescent comedy’s last season in 2008 was marred by parental fury.
Jamie Lynn Spears, the sister of musical pop icon Britney Spears, has revisited concerns surrounding her infamous young pregnancy in a new memoir, “Things I Should Have Said,” as if the Spears family didn’t already have enough speculation about their private life.
Spears asserted in excerpts obtained by TMZ that, in 2007, after she told parents Jamie and Lynn Spears about her pregnancy, they “came to my room trying to convince me that having a baby at this point in my life was a terrible idea.”
“It will kill your career. You are just too young. You don’t know what you’re doing. There are pills you can take. We can help you take care of this problem … I know a doctor,” Spears said her parents told her, according to the excerpt. In the year 2008, she gave birth to a healthy daughter.
As per Sputniknews, Spears said that “everyone around me just wanted to make this ‘issue’ disappear … everyone was certain that termination would be the best course of action.”
She also claimed that she was told not to tell her sister, Britney, about the pregnancy.
“I needed her more than ever and she wasn’t able to help me in my most vulnerable time,” Spears wrote, speaking of Britney. “To this day, the hurt of not being able to tell my sister myself still lingers.”
Jamie Lynn Spears has recently been the target of a Change.com petition to have her character Noreen Fitzgibbons removed from the Netflix drama series “Sweet Magnolias.” Her pop star sister’s followers appear to be the majority of those who have signed the petition.
“Jamie Lynn Spears has been apart [sic] of the disgusting dehumanizing conservatorship of her sister Britney Spears,” wrote Makalah Mcnatt, who launched the petition four months ago. “We’ve learned the truth & how Jamie Lynn is just as corrupt & responsible as the people who put her sister in that conservatorship.“
As of the publication of this article, the petition has over 28,000 signatures.
In recent months, Britney has criticized her family over suspicions that they were complicit in her conservatorship, which began in 2008. On September 28, Britney and Jamie Lynn’s father, Jamie Spears, was removed from the conservatorship.
Recently, Britney blasted her family in an Instagram post, stating “Lord have mercy on my family’s souls if I ever do an interview.” She previously told a court that her family did “not do a goddamn thing” to help her while she was under her father’s control.
