Jamie Lynn talks about mental health: "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"

[Jamiea1112]

Jamie Lynn posted a quote from singer Halsey that talks about family suffering from mental health-related issues.

Halsey's quote appears to directly reference what Kanye West is going through. Here is the full quote from Halsey's Twitter:

Quote

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 isnt a joke. If you can’t offer understanding or sympathy, offer your silence.

A lot of people you know probably have bipolar disorder and you aren’t aware of it. Taking this opportunity to make offensive remarks and villify people with mental illnesses is really not the way to go…this is the exact triggering **** that causes people to keep quiet about it

you can hate someone’s actions or opinions without contributing to stigma that damages an entire community of sometimes vulnerable people all for a couple of laughs.

If you wanna think someone is an *******, go ahead. Lots of people with mental illnesses are great. Lots of them are *********. Because they are people. With nuanced personalities. But making jokes specifically targeted towards bipolar hurts more than the 1 person ur angry with.

Sincerely, Human Being with a Decade Long Bipolar Diagnosis.

Jamie Lynn posted a bit of it on her Instagram, plus Tweets that talk about mental health. She's likely indirectly referencing her older sister's struggles. 

I checked some of the Tweets she has posted (cause I have nothing better to do on a Tuesday 🕵🏼) and some look as if they are directly talking about Brit! 

Thoughts?

Update: Britney's controversial business manager also posted about it.

Update: Jamie Lynn Spears responds to someone's comment on Instagram that she should speak on Britney's mental illness, saying:

"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.

So Jamie Lynn actually believes Britney is... not stable? No, girl. Not you believing something is wrong with your own sister.

Changing some words cause it's problematic.

She’s scared the paychecks are gonna stop coming. You in danger Jimmy Lou

Trying to shut the people up with - silence is a good thing?! 

[FreeLou]

**** YOU, JUNO LOU. This biiitch is living the life of her dreams thanks to her sister.Zero charisma, zero talent, zero personality.

Before this topic potentially gets out of control, I want to express that I'd like to see us remain respectful. 

[Haha-Hehe-Haha-Ho]

Leave it to JL to simultaneously out britney as bi-polar and call for her privacy in the same breath

Are my Lou posters fine, though? I honestly don’t know.

I agree. That's why I'd like to respectfully request that JL stop mooching off her successful sister and get a job so she can be taken seriously

Let's hold off on the devil horn edits please. 🙏

I try my best to have respect for her family but they make it so damned hard.

I Don't see anything bad in her post, she's right. Not everything is about Britney also, many people suffer from bad mental health and are discrimined/mocked for it.

[DanielRodes]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who read a comment she just deleted: someone asked her when is she finally going to speak up about Britney's situation and she said that she is not willing to share anything that her sister hasn't shared first.

Did someone screenshot it?

What Jamie Lynn says is true... but placing someone in a conservatorship and taking away their rights for the remainder of their lives  while also controlling who they are allowed to be friends with or when they can drive their car is an entirely different approach to dealing with mental illness that she has stayed mum about. ✌

[Jordan Miller]

What Jamie Lynn is saying... it's the piece of the puzzle that is a looming cloud over the #FreeBritney movement: the lack of transparency/communication. 

Britney nor her family / team don't technically owe anyone an explanation, but at the same time the silence she's asking for is what's causing the storm in the first place. It's impossible at this point (in my opinion) to move forward with silence. It's not working and it hasn't for a long time. 

I also understand their side of things: that it's no one else's business. However, there are literally millions of people who are invested in Britney and this situation. Therefore, silence is not the answer. No one at this point, especially the emotionally charged supporters of the #FreeBritney movement, will be silent. 

There must be some type of compromise or action to move the needle, otherwise we'll just keep going round and round and round and round. Like I mentioned in my note the other day, that to me looks like hiring a life coach for Britney. Also, I'd really love to see a note from Britney regarding what's going on. Something with depth and vulnerability (versus ~nothing to see here, everything's fine I need your silence~).  

I do give JL props for touching on the subject though. I know she's going to receive a lot of hate for that which I don't think is fair, but that's just how the Internet works unfortunately.

Well she is right, it's not her business to talk about her sister's issues. Britney will talk when she's ready/can.

Willing to share?? Like having a choice?

Do they think that we are stupid?

She's saying people that suffer from mental illness need privacy (totally agree) and the people that are "protecting them" aka taking their human rights need that same level of privacy too (Umm noo). If you want to take someone's personal and financial freedoms away, you need to be held the highest possible level of scrutiny. The people who are taking someone's freedoms should have a constant burden of proof to justify the need for the immense legal power they possess over another human life, whether it's Britney Spears or an old senile broke grandpa in Oklahoma.

I don't remember if she worded it exactly the way I did, but that was the message. It implied that Britney does have something to say and that she is not going to speak for her if she doesn't want to.
