00:00 I think every family fights and has their stuff, but you know, I talked to her before
00:03 I came here and we love each other.
00:06 Jamie Lynn Spears shares an update on her relationship with her sister, Brittany Spears,
00:11 and breaks down in tears, reflecting on her teenage pregnancy on I'm a Celebrity, Get
00:16 Me Out of Here.
00:17 When I was pregnant with Maddie, it was the first time I stood up for myself and said
00:20 what I wanted.
00:21 And that's the first time I heard my voice.
00:25 And I used it.
00:26 During the latest episode of the reality show, the former Zoey 101 star opens up about her
00:30 estranged relationship with her older sister during a chat with one of her fellow contestants.
00:36 Your sister is obviously a superstar.
00:39 You are a superstar.
00:40 Why how come the both of you made it?
00:43 I think every family fights and has their stuff, but you know, I talked to her before
00:46 I came here and we love each other.
00:49 The two have been at odds for a while, their relationship taking a hard hit in 2022 when
00:55 Jamie Lynn released her own memoir, Things I Should Have Said, following the end of Brittany's
01:00 13-year-long conservatorship.
01:03 This is my reality that I've grown up in.
01:05 It's the only reality I know and I'm allowed to speak about that.
01:08 Jamie Lynn also reflected on her past, recalling the intense scrutiny she faced when she got
01:13 pregnant with her daughter Maddie at 16, back in 2007.
01:17 I decided to keep the baby.
01:19 I had a baby and the whole world was like, you're a s***, you're horrible, your life's
01:22 over.
01:23 Oh really?
01:24 Yeah.
01:25 You felt it?
01:26 Oh yeah, because I got pregnant young, I was on a kid's show.
01:28 At the time, the actress was dating Casey Aldridge and played the lead character in
01:32 the hit Nickelodeon series, Zoe 101.
01:35 Wanna grate?
01:36 I miss you.
01:37 I miss you too.
01:38 Oh, oh!
01:39 Please come back in with us.
01:43 I was a teen mom, all alone, trying to figure it out.
01:47 Earlier this year, Jamie opened up about her decision to step away from the show when she
01:51 got pregnant.
01:52 The whole world came down and told me I was the worst human alive for doing so, and that
01:57 every young girl who ever watched my show was going to be ruined because of me and my
02:01 personal decision.
02:02 And Jamie Lynn says she stayed out of the public eye.
02:05 I moved to Mississippi and literally hid, put a gator on me.
02:08 I had 20 paparazzi on me every day.
02:11 But they wouldn't leave me alone.
02:12 They came and lived in Mississippi, middle of nowhere.
02:14 It was horrible.
02:15 In her memoir, Jamie Lynn claims her parents banished her into isolation because she refused
02:20 to have an abortion or give up her baby for adoption, writing, quote, "Everyone was certain
02:26 that termination would be the best course of action.
02:29 Everyone around me just wanted to make this issue disappear."
02:33 They didn't want me to have the baby.
02:35 What was that?
02:36 Just a lot of people around me.
02:38 That's when the former child star breaks down in tears.
02:41 And everybody told me I was going to be a horrible mom, so I was like, I've got to raise
02:43 this baby by myself.
02:45 And so I did.
02:46 Jamie Lynn went on to explain that she threatened to file for legal emancipation from her parents,
02:51 something that she previously opened up about in her memoir.
02:55 That time was just such a chaotic time.
02:57 There was a lot of things going on.
02:59 When I got out of that, I told my parents I was going to emancipate them so that way
03:04 I could make my own decisions.
03:06 She was like, she didn't want me to do that because she knew that that would mean I'd
03:08 probably marry the father's child and lose my fortune that I had amassed over the years
03:12 of working since I was very young.
03:13 She was like, just go, baby.
03:15 You don't need to, you know, like, just go.
03:16 Jamie Lynn and Casey later split, and she got married to her husband, Jamie Watson,
03:21 in 2014.
03:22 I think having the support system I have from my husband, from my mother, from my whole
03:26 family, that's just something that like, you couldn't, you can't buy that.
03:32 And in 2018, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Ivy.
03:37 Now, Jamie Lynn says she's proud of how far she's come.
03:41 It's like, I'm proud of what I've, you know, where I'm at now.
03:44 So like, I don't share it in a way of being like sad or crying about it, but it's like,
03:48 I don't know.
03:49 I just, I'm really thankful.
