Britney Spears has reportedly put a strict ban on her sister Jamie Lynn before her appearance on I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here, ordering her to refrain from mentioning her name as the siblings work on rebuilding their relationship.
Jamie Lynn, known for her role in the show Zoey 101, entered the jungle camp on Sunday, introducing herself as a ‘singer and actress’ but failed to make any mention of her famous sister. This didn’t sit well with Britney, who is said to find it ‘sad’ that her sister continues to use her stardom to make money, and wants her to secure contracts in her own right.
According to an exclusive source, Britney told Jamie Lynn to earn money without relying on her name to land contracts. Jamie Lynn’s past appearances on reality shows included moments where she discussed in tears the impact of living in her sister’s shadow, especially when addressing her self-esteem struggles on Fox’s Special Forces. Britney hopes that her sister respects the established restrictions on the reality show I’m A Celebrity.
The initial episode of the show saw Jamie Lynn swerving comments about her sister, focusing on her own identity as a ‘singer and actress’. She also refrained from discussing Britney when asked questions by fellow campers. However, the show’s hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly joked about Jamie Lynn’s infamous sibling.
Britney’s warning hasn’t been ignored. On the first night of I’m a Celebrity, Jamie Lynn demonstrated courage by completing the infamous skydive challenge and tackling a grueling Bushtucker trial. Avoiding questions about Britney on the show will certainly facilitate the sisters’ effort to salvage their relationship.
Despite Britney’s request, Jamie Lynn previously made recurrent appearances in reality television and discussed her sister. After starring in reality shows like Special Forces, Jamie Lynn joined Dancing With The Stars, for which she earned $125,000. Unfortunately, the show did not turn out as expected, with Jamie Lynn quitting early and failing to provide the anticipated on-screen reunion with Britney. The sisters’ relationship appears to be on the mend, though it’s a work in progress.
Britney’s estranged yet mending relationship with Jamie Lynn is emphasized by her offer of forgiveness towards her sister. This positive progression is in line with her recent memoir, in which she reveals that despite her family hardships, she has come to terms with the need to move past grievances and repair strained relationships.
