Supporting your family is always important, but it might be even more important when you're in the public eye and people are frequently making assumptions about your family's mental health and capabilities.
Britney Spears is no stranger to controversies surrounding her, and her younger sister Jamie Lynn has recently proved that she has Britney's back no matter what!
Halsey's tweet, which many believe is a reference to Kanye West's recent behavior, read "A manic episode isn't a joke. If you can't offer understanding or sympathy, offer your silence."
Clearly this was a message that resonated with Jamie Lynn.
“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,” she wrote on her Instagram.
However, one commenter was not satisfied with this message, and responded asking, “How about your sister’s OBVIOUS mental illness? Why don’t you speak on that?” referencing Britney, whose social media activity has frequently lead to speculation about her mental health.
"You have no right to assume anything about my sister. And I have NO right to speak about HER health and personal matters," Jamie Lynn responded. "She’s a strong, badass, unstoppable woman, and that’s the only thing that is obvious."
We love to see sisters sticking up for each other!
