Jamie Lynn Spears cannot be trusted - a #FreeBritney thread
Before we begin, this was not an easy decision to make a thread about Britney's sister. But ultimately, the evidence in this thread will show that the scrutiny is justified, especially since she has pushed herself back into the public eye by releasing a new project. #FreeBritney
Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn grew up in Kentwood, Louisiana. As their mom Lynne wrote about in her book, they did not live in the most stable home. Their father Jamie was an alcoholic and even her kids would tell her, "Mama, you can't be that blind." #FreeBritney
Jamie Lynn's relationship with her dad always depended on his substance abuse issues and she admits "he had his demons when it came to drinking." #FreeBritney
Overall, though, Jamie Lynn speaks fondly of her childhood.

"Truthfully, my childhood was so fun ... everything was like Christmas, because we were just from this small town and my sister had amazing success. It was so amazing to see my sister reach such heights" #FreeBritney
Here is Jamie Lynn describing how great her childhood was because she got to travel around with Britney. #FreeBritney
By the time Jamie Lynn was 10, Britney Spears was already one of the most successful female artists in history. #FreeBritney
In 2005, Jamie Lynn got the role of Zoey 101 on Nickelodeon, probably because of the name recognition of her sister. Britney even wrote the theme song for her show. #FreeBritney
It was around this time that Lou Taylor became involved as Jamie Lynn's business manager. It was listed as such on an episode of Drew Marshall's Spiritual Talk Show on August 6th, 2006, where Lou says she's "married to a Godly man" and she's "a submissive wife." #FreeBritney
In this email to her lawyer in 2007, Britney Spears allegedly called Lou Taylor a "crazy lady" and a "stalker."

"Do you care if I'm dead because I can not sign your checks if I am" #FreeBritney
At the age of 16, Jamie Lynn got pregnant and Zoey 101 was forever cancelled. But she didn't even tell Britney and she had to find out through the paparazzi. #FreeBritney
In January 2008, Britney Spears was involuntarily hospitalized and the "crazy lady" Lou Taylor started giving statements to the press on behalf of Britney's family. Also, notice in the end how she calls the whole Spears family "amazing people" ...but forgets Britney? #FreeBritney
In February of 2008, after a year of troubles with every moment captured by the paparazzi lens, Britney Spears' father asked a court to put her under conservatorship, taking away her rights and giving him control over her life and finances. #FreeBritney
Britney's mom wrote in her book that Jamie and Lou were planning the conservatorship for weeks ahead of time. #FreeBritney
Sources at the time also said Lou Taylor was the mastermind of the conservatorship and she convinced Jamie this was "the only way to go." #FreeBritney
A few months after Britney was in a conservatorship, Life & Style published an article when a reporter overheard Lynne Spears saying she was "disappointed" in Jamie Lynn for getting pregnant at such a young age. Lou Taylor was named in the article and denied this. #FreeBritney
Later that year, when Jamie Lynn's baby daddy was asking for $250,000 to talk to the press, Lou Taylor was in another article saying "I represent Jamie Lynn and Lynne Spears, and if you want to make a deal with Casey, go through me." #FreeBritney
This whole time, Britney was trying to fight the conservatorship that she was put under. She even left this message to a lawyer saying her father was threatening to take her kids away if she petitioned to terminate the arrangement. #FreeBritney
Britney allegedly sent these texts calling Lou Taylor a "holy freak" and revealed she even tried to send Jamie Lynn away when she was pregnant. (Which is scary AF considering Lou sat on the board of Mercy Ministries which performed exorcisms on young girls.) #FreeBritney
In another text, Britney allegedly claimed that her father hit Jamie Lynn when she was pregnant because she was going to get an abortion. #FreeBritney
None of this would stop Jamie Lynn from continuing to support her father and Lou Taylor after they took away Britney's rights to manage her own life and finances. #FreeBritney
In fact, Lou Taylor has signed paperwork associated with Jamie Lynn's music companies. #FreeBritney
Jamie Lynn sent Lou Taylor a hand-crafted gift with pictures of her and Britney for her 50th birthday. #FreeBritney
And Lou Taylor went to Jamie Lynn's wedding, commenting "Love you. What a day it was!" #FreeBritney
In 2015, Jamie Lynn was seen pulling a knife on people in a restaurant. Yet Britney's the one who is under a conservatorship. #FreeBritney
In 2016, Jamie Lynn released a documentary called "When the Lights Go Out" and guess who uploaded it to IMBD? Lou Taylor, the mastermind of Britney's conservatorship. #FreeBritney
Lou Taylor is also seen quite a bit throughout the film. #FreeBritney
In 2017, Britney posted this video shouting out all the powerful women who make the world go around. #FreeBritney
Jamie Lynn reposted that video on Facebook and used it to give a shout out to Lou Taylor. #FreeBritney
In 2018, despite having no qualifications, Jamie Lynn was secretly named the trustee of Britney's SJB revocable trust, which holds an estimated $600 million in assets that Britney set aside for herself and her kids. This was not made public until earlier this year. #FreeBritney
The #FreeBritney movement started in full force in 2019 when fans woke up to the strict level of control people like Jamie Spears and Lou Taylor have over Britney's life. Fans began protesting to end the conservatorship. https://twitter.com/BritneyHiatus/status/1284560975832551424/video/1
Then Britney's mom Lynne started liking #FreeBritney comments, including this one where a fan accused Jamie Lynn of "doing nothing" to help her sister.
Jamie Lynn responded by posting a video of her sticking up for Britney 12 years earlier, before she was ever put under a conservatorship. Could she not find anything more recent of her standing up for her sister? #FreeBritney
Even while fans are decrying the violation of her sister's human rights, Jamie Lynn continued to support the woman who was largely responsible. #FreeBritney
Then things started to get... weird. Fans noticed Jamie Lynn and Britney were no longer following each other on Instagram and Jamie Lynn claimed she was "hacked." #FreeBritney
And while the #FreeBritney movement was in full force, Jamie Lynn would appear in Sweet Magnolias on Netflix and Lou Taylor would send her congratulations on Instagram.
Now, remember when I said Jamie Lynn secretly became the trustee of Britney's assets? Well, she recently filed a petition with the court listing a "separately managed trust account" with a company called Stonebridge. #FreeBritney
However, Britney fans did their research and found out that Stonebridge is closely connected with... yep, Lou Taylor, who worked as Vice President. #FreeBritney
Stonebridge randomly saw a HUGE increase in the assets under their management in 2019, about $600M. Fans have speculated that Jamie Lynn may have already moved the money into Stonebridge and is retroactively asking for court approval. #FreeBritney
We also found evidence that the current President of Stonebridge, Mitch Martin, seems to be scrubbing the internet for connections to Lou Taylor's company Tri-Star, where he also worked. #FreeBritney
When Kanye was in the news, Jamie Lynn shared a message about mental health clearly directed towards Britney. "If you care for someone dealing with mental illness, you know how important it is to respect the situation with privacy." It was reposted by Lou Taylor. #FreeBritney
Yet Jamie Lynn had no problem talking to Lance Bass about her sister's situation, and he went straight to the press to say we need to "trust the family." #FreeBritney
Jamie Lynn also claimed she has "never been paid a dime" from her sister, yet court documents reveal expenses she made directly to Britney's estate and there is probably a lot more we haven't seen. #FreeBritney
After these public statements, Britney sent a seemingly pointed message on Instagram saying that Frozen is her favorite movie because "the two sisters, their relationship, and then one goes off and lives in a castle just because she can't deal anymore." #FreeBritney
Jamie Lynn said she would "never speak out" about this because "the person it pertains to does not want that to happen." Yet Britney said in court she is "vehemently opposed" to them keeping her legal struggle hidden away as a family secret. #FreeBritney
Now, despite the fact that Britney is literally in court fighting for her human rights, Jamie Lynn has decided now is the time to release a new Zoey 101 project that is probably directly profiting Lou Taylor. #FreeBritney
n the end, Jamie Lynn Spears has done very little to help her sister. In fact, she has spent more time cozying up to the people who put her sister in this situation and continue to make money off her while she's deemed unable to manage her own finances and affairs. #FreeBritney
We believe the conservatorship is a violation of Britney's human rights. Anyone who isn't helping free her from this situation is complicit, including Jamie Lynn. Please help continue to spread awareness by tweeting #FreeBritney and sharing this thread!
