While Jamie Lynn was promoting her book, Spears' lawyer sent her a cease-and-desist letter.
"If you fail to do so or defame her, Britney will be forced to consider and take all appropriate legal action," the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, stated.
"We write with hesitation because the last thing Britney wants is to bring more attention to your ill-timed book and its misleading or outrageous claims about her," the letter continued.
In October, Spears teased that she was "thinking" of releasing a book. At the time, she said she was considering releasing a book in 2022 and offered a handful of potential titles.
