More details of Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn Spears' feud explored

Pop sensation Britney Spears reignited the feud with her younger sister by taking to her Instagram to call the latter out publicly in front of her 41 million followers. The tension surfaced after Jamie Lynn went on national television to explain that her life growing up was not easy.

Jamie Lynn stated on FOX's new reality series Special Forces: World's Toughest Test - a show she is a contestant on - that she struggles with self-esteem issues because she had to grow up living under her very popular older sister's shadow.

The 41-year-old Toxic singer called her baby sister out by explaining how her loved ones were treated to spa days and champagne while she was barred from enjoying simple pleasures such as coffee as she tirelessly performed in her lengthy Las Vegas residency.

"Well this was my spa plan at Vegas as my childhood friends had their heads held high with a seat for toes and nails and a bottle of champagne for each one of them while I STOOD AT THE DOOR not allowed to go in."

Britney Spears then claimed that she suffered nerve damage during her controversial conservatorship that controlled all her medical, financial, and personal affairs for nearly 14 years, the tenets of which were created and meted out by her now estranged father, Jamie Spears.

The restrictive legal arrangement started in 2008 and finally ended in November 2021. She stated:

"Pssss here are pics of what nerve damage can do... which I have right side of my body and goes numb every night !!! Not a victim story or crying about it because I was never a big deal."

Britney Spears ended her powerful message by explaining how she lost over 15 years of her life as a performer under her family's name. She aimed the last bit of her message directly at her sister by writing:

“It honestly blows my mind the hardships you say you have had with having me as your sister. I’m sorry you feel that way but don’t ever poke at my broken foot in a kitchen telling me to go to the doctor because my foot infection might infect your royal children!!!”
