Jamie Lynn Spears Defends Britney Spears’s Mental Health

Jamie Lynn Spears is speaking out in support of her big sis, Britney Spears.

Jamie recently defended Brit on social media by resharing a post from Halsey that read, “No jokes right now. I have dedicated my career to offering education and insight about bipolar disorder and I’m so disturbed by what I’m seeing. Personal opinions about someone aside, a manic episode isn’t a joke. If you can’t offer understanding or sympathy, offer your silence.”

Jamie commented: “If you deal with mental illness or care for someone dealing with mental illness, then you know how important it is to respect the situation with privacy for the person, and the family trying to protect their loved ones, no matter how it may appear to the public, and as the public we must learn to do the same. I pray this doesn’t bring shame to anyone dealing with mental illness, you are not alone, and you are loved. Sending all my love and prayers to all of you.”

When a commenter write, “How about your sisters OBVIOUS mental illness? Why don’t you speak on that?” Jamie replied:

“You have no right to assume anything about my sister, and I have NO right to speak about HER health and personal matters. She is a strong, badass, unstoppable woman, and that’s the only thing that is OBVIOUS.”

Good for you, Jamie. Blood is thicker than water!
