Jamie Lynn Spears claimed in a rare TV interview Wednesday that she tried to help end her now-estranged sister Britney Spears’ controversial conservatorship.

“I’ve always been my sister’s biggest supporter, so when she needed help, I set up ways to do so,” Jamie Lynn, 30, said on “Good Morning America” Wednesday.

“I went out of my way to make sure that she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship and just end this all for our family,” she continued. “If it’s going to cause this much discord, why continue it?”

The “Zoey 101” alum did not reveal which “contacts” she gave Britney, 40, nor whether the pop star ever got in touch with them.

Jamie Lynn did, however, share that she had a conversation with Samuel D. Ingham III, whom a Los Angeles judge appointed as Britney’s lawyer when she was hospitalized on an involuntary psychiatric hold in February 2008 at the onset of the conservatorship.

Ingham resigned in July 2021 after Britney requested to hire an attorney of her choosing, Mathew Rosengart, who has been representing her ever since.

“If she wanted to talk to other people, then I did [help]. I set that up,” Jamie Lynn told ABC News’ Juju Chang while promoting her upcoming memoir. “I even spoke to her previous legal team, and that did not end well in my favor.”

When asked whether she agreed or disagreed with the conservatorship, which controlled everything from how Britney spent her money to the color of her kitchen cabinets, Jamie Lynn responded, “It wasn’t about agreeing with the conservatorship. Everyone has a voice, and it should be heard.”

Britney testified in court in June 2021 that her family “did nothing” to help her when her father, Jamie Spears, allegedly put her in a mental health facility against her will in early 2019.

The “Toxic” singer also told the judge presiding over her case that her family “should be in jail” for benefitting from her “abusive” conservatorship, which the New York Times estimated generated at least $6 million for Jamie during his time serving as his eldest daughter’s legal guardian.

Jamie, 69, was ultimately suspended from his role in September, and the conservatorship was terminated altogether in November.

A newly freed Britney unfollowed Jamie Lynn on Instagram earlier this month after repeatedly trading barbs on the social media platform.

However, the “Sweet Magnolias” star tearfully insisted on “GMA” that the “love is still there” between her and Britney, adding, “I’ve only ever loved and supported her.”
