“West Side Story” star Rachel Zegler is facing backlash for her dramatic reading of Britney Spears’ Twitter messages to estranged sister Jamie Lynn Spears. .

After Britney, 40, addressed claims made by Jamie Lynn, 30, in her new memoir, “Things I Should Have Said” — followed by a succession of media appearances — Zegler, 20, took the opportunity to read the pop superstar’s words as if she were auditioning for a movie role.

Several social media users also called out Zegler for her close relationship with embattled “West Side Story” co-star Ansel Elgort, who was accused of sexual assault last year. (Elgort, 27, later denied the allegations in an Instagram post.).

In Britney’s message — the one parodied by Zegler — she denied Jamie Lynn’s allegation that she held her younger sister in a room while holding a knife

In a follow-up message, Britney explained that she loved Jamie Lynn “unconditionally,” though she is still processing pain from perceived inaction on Jamie Lynn’s part to help her end a 13-year conservatorship that she has described as “abusive.” 

During an explosive address to the court in June 2021, Britney alleged that, under the watch of her estranged father, Jamie Spears, she was forced into a mental health facility, forced to take lithium and forced to have an IUD contraceptive inserted, all against her will. 

Britney has said in the past that she would like to “sue [her] family” for their roles in her conservatorship, not excluding brother Bryan or mom Lynne Spears — the latter of whom Britney has accused of concocting the conservatorship alongside former business manager Lou Taylor before Jamie, 69, took control.
