She wrote: "It's become exhausting when conversations, and texts we have in private don't match what you post on social media. I know you're going through a lot and I never want to diminish that, but I also can't diminish myself.

"Quite frankly, the things being said are absolutely not the truth, and I have to clarify that, because now it's geting harder for me to rationalise to my oldest daughter why our family continues to get death threats, as a result of their aunt's vague and accusatory posts, especially when we know she could tell the truth, and put an end to all of it in one second if she wanted to.

Jamie Lynn opened up about her relationship with Britney

"Sadly, after a lifetime of staying silent, I have come to realise this isn't going to be a reality, and I may have to set the record straight myself in order to protect mine and my family's well being. That being said, I hate to burst my sister's bubble, but my book is not about her."

Addressing her new memoir, Things I Should Have Said, she continued: "I can't help but think that I was born a Spears too, and that some of my experiences involve my sister. I've worked hard since before I was even a teenager, and I've built my career in spite of just being someone's little sister. There are no sides, and I don't want drama, but I'm speaking my truth to heal my traumas, so I can close this chapter and move forward, and I wish my sister could do the same."
