Jamie Lynn Spears is upsetti spaghetti and she and / or her friends & family ran to People to give them details about her reaction after proceeds from her book Things I Should Have Said to the This Is My Brave charity were declined by the charity themselves. A source tells PEOPLE that Jamie Lynn was hurt by This Is My Brave's decision.
"Jamie Lynn was totally blindsided by them publicly walking away. The organization was recommended and vetted and knew we were donating, but they've been overwhelmed," the source says. "Unfortunately with them backing out, they are essentially saying that one person's mental health struggles are more valid and important than another. They took a clear stand on whose story they thought had more value to them. Seems their actions don't align with their mission of supporting all voices."
The insider went on to say that the incident has been "very upsetting" for her.
"Jamie Lynn has suffered abuses in her life as well and that's what people aren't understanding - she has her own things she's gone through," the source says. "She can't help that she's Britney's little sister. Her life is only spoken about in relation to her family even though she has also been dealing with mental health issues for the better half of her life. This just reinforces the entire trauma - that her story doesn't matter."
