“Jamie Lynn Spears: When the Lights Go Out” will air on the network June 26. In a promo clip for the special, Spears says she wants to be known as more than just a teen mom and superstar Britney’s little sister.
“I’m not just a child star,” an emotional Spears says. “And I’m not just someone’s sister. And I’m not just a teen mom. For the first time, this is the real story.”
Spears, who appeared on Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101,” is now a successful country music writer who released an album titled “The Journey” in 2014. That same year she married voice actor Jamie Watson, who is helping to raise her 7-year-old daughter, Maddie.
