Britney Spears issues cease and desist letter to sister Jamie Lynn amid new book

Britney Spears has sent a cease-and-desist letter ordering her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, to stop talking about her.

The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker’s legal team want the ‘Zoey 101’ actress to stop discussing the 40-year-old pop star’s life and struggles when she’s giving interviews to promote her new memoir.

Jamie Lynn is currently on a promotional tour for her new book ‘Things I Should Have Said’, which Britney’s legal counsel said contains ‘misleading and outrageous claims’ about her.

Now, lawyer Mathew Rosengart has written a stinging letter to Jamie Lynn, demanding that she ‘cease and desist from referencing Britney derogatorily’ and threatening ‘all appropriate legal action’ should the actress not comply.

‘We write with some hesitation because the last thing Britney wants is to bring more attention to your ill-timed book and its misleading or outrageous claims about her,’ the letter read.

‘Although Britney has not read and does not intend to read your book, she and millions of her fans were shocked to see how you have exploited her for monetary gain. She will not tolerate it, nor should she.’

The letter comes as Britney hit out against Jamie Lynn and her mother Lynne in a fiery Instagram post in which she said she should have slapped them both ‘across their f***ing faces’.

After years under a conservatorship overseen by her father, Jamie Spears, Rosengart stressed Britney will not be ‘bullied’ by anyone any more.

The letter continued: ‘You of all people know the abuse and wrongdoing Britney had to endure during the conservatorship, after initially growing up with a ‘ruinous,’ alcoholic father.

‘In fact, your own book reportedly states that your father ‘spent most of my life in that cycle of ruinous behaviour. His bouts of drinking caused me periods of torment and sorrow.’

‘As I have previously stated, having endured a 13-year conservatorship that stripped her of civil rights and fundamental liberties, Britney will no longer be bullied by her father or anyone else.’
