Britney Spears, 40, loves her sister Jamie Lynn Spears, 30, ā€œunconditionallyā€ ā€” despite the current drama between the pair. The In The Zone singer took to Twitter to post a lengthy open letter to her youngest sibling after drama pertaining to Jamie Lynnā€™s book Things I Should Have Said and subsequent GMA interview. ā€œI said some harsh things because you obviously hurt me by the things you are making up about me!!!ā€ Britney wrote in the screen shotted iPhone note posted to Twitter on Saturday, Jan. 15. The letter was in clear reference to Britā€™s earlier post, in which she called Jamie Lynn a ā€œscumā€ person.

ā€œWhen I said only a scum person would make up things like that about someone, I could have sworn I said ā€˜but youā€™re notā€™ ā€¦ but it doesnā€™t make sense at all to me what you are saying,ā€ Britney explained. ā€œI know you worked hard for the life you have and you have done amazing!!!! But I think we would both have to agree to the fact that the family has never been remotely as hard on you as they have been on me!!!ā€ she penned, referencing Jamie Lynnā€™s teen acting career on Zoey 101 and successful song writing accolades.

Britney went on to discuss her difficult 13 year long conservatorship, which placed her under the control of their father Jamie Spears, 69. As conservator of her estate, Jamie oversaw Britneyā€™s business affairs, career and music catalogue, amongst other things. When the arrangement went into place in 2008, Jamie Lynn was then 17-years-old and pregnant with daughter Maddie, now 13 ā€” and said on GMA she was simply focused on becoming a mother at the time. She also stated she ā€œtook no stepsā€ to become a part of the conservatorship as she got older.

Her older sister, however, seemed to disagree with that statement. ā€œWhat Dad did to me, they donā€™t even do that to criminals ā€¦ so for you to sit back and act completely aloof to what has happened to me is honestly insane to me!!!ā€ Britney said in her lengthy Jan. 15 post. ā€œYou guys treated me like nothing and thatā€™s not even half of it !!! Iā€™m honestly shocked Dad isnā€™t in jail !!! Come on !!! We are supposed to have each otherā€™s back ā€¦ but what youā€™re saying just truly confuses me!!!ā€ she added.

Britney then made it clear that no matter the drama, she ā€œlovesā€ Jamie Lynn no matter what. ā€œAll I know is I love you unconditionally !!! So go ahead and say whatever you want ā€¦ itā€™s so tacky for a family to fight publicly like this !!!ā€ she wrote. ā€œYou say you love me ā€¦ yet your loyalty is still with the people that hurt me mostā€¦.I know your real heart.ā€ Jamie Lynn has yet to respond to the latest post.

During the interview, Jamie Lynn made it clear sheā€™s on Britneyā€™s side. ā€œIā€™ve always been my sisterā€™s biggest supporter,ā€ she said to ABC. ā€œWhen she needed help, I set up ways to do so. Went out of my way to make sure she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship and end this all for our family ā€” if itā€™s gonna cause this much discord, why continue it?ā€

ā€œI love my sister,ā€ she also said on camera through tears. ā€œIā€™ve only ever loved and supported her and done whatā€™s right by her, and she knows that, so I donā€™t know why weā€™re in this position right now.ā€
