Britney Spears has offered her estranged sister Jamie Lynn Spears some rare praise despite previously calling her ‘scum’ and accusing her of ‘f***ing lying’ in her controversial memoir released earlier this year.
In an Instagram post shared Friday, the singer – who is celebrating her 41st birthday – congratulated her ‘brave’ and ‘inspiring’ little sister, 31, for baring her soul in a promo clip for her Fox’s Special Forces, a military-style competition show for celebrities.
Shortly after the post was published, fans of the Toxic singer expressed confusion in the comment section — even speculating that Britney may no longer be in control of her Instagram account.
‘It’s my b-day but you’re my heart so I’m thinking about you … congratulations on being so brave, inspiring, and showing guts and glory in your show !!!’ Britney began.

Earlier this year in January, the Baby One More Time hitmaker called her younger sister ‘scum’ after the former Nickelodeon star published the controversial memoir titled, Things I Should Have Said.

As she continued to slam her sibling Britney said that she wished she ‘would take a lie detector test.’ Britney capped off the caption as she wrote, ‘You are scum, Jamie Lynn.’
