The photo featured Lynne with both Maddie and Ivey Joan, Jamie Lynn’s daughters, as well as other family members.“On a side note … If you know me, I’ve always ended up at this kids (sic) table at every function I’ve ever been to !!!” Spears said.
She added, “Anyways … I’m posting this pic because my family is absolutely beautiful and I miss them … I wanted to share this pic because although I’m not in it … I sure as hell felt as though I was !!!”
Britney Spears Opens Up About Family Drama in New Memoir
Spears has been at odds with her family for some time. In her memoir, she blasted her father for controlling her life.
She said he made seem like she was “too sick to choose [her own] boyfriend and yet somehow healthy enough to appear on sitcoms and morning shows, and to perform for thousands of people in a different part of the world every week.”
Outside of her memoir, Spears has also been vocal about her displeasure for her family on social media as well. She previously ranted about them.
“I was actually right about nerve damage in my back !!! I have to get accupuncture every day of my life now !!! Words and thinking too hard make it worse !!! If people only knew how ive had to crawl to my own door one time !!! My family hurt me !!!” she began.
“There has been no justice and probably never will be !!! The people who sat and did absolutely nothing when they did that for four months are smooth sailing !!! The way I was brought up I was always taught the formative of right and wrong but the very two people who brought me up with that method hurt me !!!” she continued.
She continued, “I am so lucky to be here !!! It’s funny ‘cus till this very day I haven’t told them face to face !!! I text through IG but I honestly believe it will not be so safe if I ever did go face to face so !!!”
“The child in me knows they would be destroyed and that’s basically it !!! I do miss my home in Louisiana and I wish I could visit but they took everything !!!”
It appears Spears may have had a change of heart.
