‘We have made the decision to decline the offer of receiving proceeds from the book sales.’
The organization did not specify details in its statement amid the controversy surrounding Britney Spears, 39, over her conservatorship, which has been in place since 2008.
Jamie Lynn earlier this month said that she was ‘so happy to announce’ that part of the proceeds were slated to go to the nonprofit organization.
‘I know how scary it can be to share personal struggles, especially if you don’t feel you have the support or a safe space to do so, and they are doing amazing work to support and encourage people as they bravely share their experiences,’ she said in the October 11 post.

In June, Britney spoke in a hearing about her hopes to end the arrangement, which was initially implemented amid a pileup of personal problems.
‘I just want my life back,’ she said. ‘And it’s been 13 years. And it’s enough. It’s been a long time since I’ve owned my money. And it’s my wish and my dream for all of this to end without being tested.’
The conservatorship remains intact, but could be terminated a hearing slated for November 12.
Jamie Lynn Spears’ book is slated to be released January 18, 2022.
